Top 50 Best Witch Movies Of All Time

 

Accio movies! There is something very real and unreal about the magic that we can’t really get over.

 

Throughout the world’s story, witches have come and gone. The good witch vs the bad witch story has been used even in fairytales to mimic mankind and its fallacies.

 

There is a lot in history that talks about witchcraft and wizardry. Like the famous, much-obsessed Salem trials as the Boston Globe once put it, “Salem owns Halloween like the North Pole owns Christmas”.

 

Hollywood has forever kept the promise and hence the creation of some of the finest classics and definitely a bunch of the * the ones that shall not be named*(there are no bad movies, only movies that are not on our lists).

 

Pop culture obsession with this cult however doesn’t stick to a single genre. You get horror, comedy, romance, thrillers, and even drama.

 

Time to give Witch movies the real honour they deserve Here is a list of ENTOIN’s top Witch movies ever made.

 

 

 

1. The Witch

 

 

 

If you are looking for a horror movie that will disturb you enough to think twice and thrice before the next movie you watch then you are in the right place.

 

The feature directorial debut of Robert Eggars has succeeded enough to confuse you between the reel and the reality of horror.

 

An odd mixture of religious paranoia and supernatural horror the movie grows on you in a way that turns off your sanity.

 

A Puritan family due to religious differences moves out of their comfort zone into someplace near the woods.

 

It all starts with the missing of the youngest sibling under the watch of the eldest, the legitimate Puritan fear of witchcraft and Satan grows even into the audience and hence makes it a perfect ode to the 17th century.

 

 

 

2. The Blair Witch Project

 

 

 

How about a movie about movie people who ran one of the most successful internet marketing campaigns that made half the world believe in paranormal activities or better just confirmed it.

 

Three film students ‘Heather, Josh, and Mike’ decide to make a movie on the famous Blair Witch fable and sets out in search of the witch.

 

As scary as it sounds the maze gets compelling as they get stuck in their own plotline and lead to a tragic fate.

 

I’m not giving out much, I might end up spilling important details. The predecessor of found footage technique has set the bar so high and should definitely be on your watchlist.

 

 

 

3. Hocus Pocus

 

 

 

The 1993 cult classic is all about the Sanderson sisters who are witches. In desperate need to be immortal, they conspire to murder a bunch of kids.

 

The loveable villains are treated as both antagonists and protagonists and therein lies your flimsy plot.

 

Bette Midler’s ‘Minifred’ took such a deep swing on the audience that the hangover still lingers and is the main reason why it is still a Halloween treat.

 

Honestly, goofy entertainment is good enough for Halloween entertainment and definitely deserves a space.

 

 

 

4. Suspiria

 

 

 

To all the Dakota Johnson fans out there, here’s a chance to see something you’ve never seen.

 

Inspired by the 1977 Italian film directed by Dario Argento. The movie revolves around a prestigious dance academy in Berlin to our surprise run by a coven of witches.

 

The winterish aesthetics totally grips you. Though a mood change from the typical standards of horror like Conjuring, I would also like to point out that this movie is not for everybody

 

 

5. Harry Potter series

 

 

Now, this is more of a list that crept its way into a list but then I really can’t make such a long list.

 

While not giving away the cast and crew details, we are including a list of the most cherished fantasy of the time.

 

• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001)
• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2010/2011)

 

And two later added extended storylines “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” – November 18, 2016, & “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” – November 16, 2018.

 

JK Rowling is a master of wizardry that I seriously wonder if she really does take the train from platform 9¾.

 

The series is pure fantasy that actually put Harlem trials aside and caused a wicked obsession for magic in all the movie buffs and yea the bookaholics.

 

The Harry Potter series definitely got us thinking about the good and bad and definitely awesome spells.

 

 

6. The Witches of Eastwick

 

 

 

And that’s a very wickedly amusing combination of horror and comedy you wouldn’t want to miss.

 

A request for the perfect man by the witches gets delivered as the devil himself or he is called so.

 

Daryl Van Horne helps the witches in embracing themselves all, while giving the viewers a classic modern-day witchified fairy tale.

 

Great performances, Jack Nicholson, and visual perfections as made in 1987 standards. It’s a great movie to watch and they even refer to the Salem trials.

 

George Miller has definitely shown off his creative talent aesthetically and with foolproof casting.

 

 

7. Rosemary’s Baby

 

 

 

When all Rosemary (Mia Farrow) wanted was to be the perfect mother fate or her new neighbors had a different plan.

 

Based on the novel of the same name by Ira Levin it gets on your nerves and definitely, you’ll end up double-checking neighbors.

 

Bramford is the perfect neighborhood or so until innocent Rosemary starts realizing what she has unknowingly paid for.

 

There is death, destruction, nightmares, and friendly neighbors who are not really friendly. And Rosemary’s baby, that’s the main part you wouldn’t want me to tell you about.

 

Witchcraft, cult, and all kinds of horror. It’s a family pack definitely not for the brittle hearts in the family.

 

 

8. Bell, Book and Candle

 

 

 

When the good witch falls in love with the mortal publisher there builds a storyline not so perfect but pleasant in all terms.

 

Jimmy Steward did do an average not bad performance. The movie is a light comedy enough to entertain you.

 

Oh, and also there is an underground society of witches and warlocks, the much-loved fantasy of an alternative world just became real.

 

And if you are watching witches what’s wrong with some muggle romance as well.

 

 

9. The Wizard of Oz

 

 

 

Now, you could put down lists of good films, epic creations, and evergreen stories.

 

This movie goes into all of those. This can be where the genre was born or even better it is where the wicked witch of the west put fashion standards for witches all through history.

 

The wonderful Judy Garland will always be Dorothy and so does the others and like fine wine the wonderful adaptation has aged well.

 

In the land of Oz as the wizard and Dorothy fights battles so do the viewers.

 

With its flaws and delights etched with loving care this movie gave the witchcraft fantasy moral standards as well and the surprise element the story evolves as you grow older, and you learn new things.

 

 

10. Black Sunday

 

 

 

It is almost as if you’ve taken a bite off the horror platter that it lingers to a point you see it everywhere and that’s brilliant execution.

 

Director and cinematographer Mario Bava has put so much effort into the techniques of the movie that it moves forward effortlessly as a psychic, horror, thriller-like it is the only supposed to be genre.

 

Barbara Steele plays both the witch and the heroine. The 17th-century princess Asa and her boyfriend are put to death by her brother brutally and then they are resurrected back 200 years later.

 

To avenge the tragedy, they return, and then the real story begins. Though there are loopholes in the plotlines the movie is a must-watch if you’re in line for an evil female villain backup with the best cinematography techniques of the time.

 

 

11. Island of Witches

 

 

 

In Ancient Rome when a cursed coven of witches decides to destroy mankind they are trapped on an island by the forces of good.

 

A sceptical archaeologist in search of evidence for the existence of supernatural forces ends up at the foot of this mystery.

 

While devious individuals try to steal the result of his hard work there is much more to the curse that the island holds that can decide what could be left for mankind.

 

As challenging as it looks, it definitely has enough to keep you engaged in witchcraft.

 

 

12. I Am Not A Witch

 

 

 

This is a new perspective from one of the finest new voices. The subject raised by the movie is alarming and to our horror in witchcraft or not, very real.

 

When a young girl Shula is accused of witchcraft it’s hard for her to deny it and the reason is later revealed.

 

Unlike the traditional witches, these witches perform acts like rainfall and read minds. There is even a point where Shula is asked to point out a thief, making it a ludicrous comedy.

 

But behind the comedy what we see is the sad reality of child abuse, oppression, and enslavement.

 

Where men use witchcraft as an option to suppress women, beyond fantasy this is a sad reality.

 

 

13. Babine

 

 

 

Young Babine was born with a tag as he had a witch for his mother.

 

And when Babine started growing in the remote village of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton all misfortunes that occurred were Babine’s fault.

 

When the village church catches fire, killing the old priest there is no one better to be accused of.

 

Will he survive the new priests tormenting and accusations? A small budget, quite a friendly movie not really in for so many intellectual questions can definitely be good from all the serious witchcraft.

 

For the ones who follow French, the experience would be quite remarkable as well.

 

 

14. The Little Witch

 

 

 

Well, here is someone different from all our recent witches, a witch who wants to help the world.

 

A little witch of only 147 years wants to join the Bloxberg coven but the hostile senior witches find her breaking rules.

 

When she comes for the admission test, things turn ugly for everyone. A Swiss-German production that can definitely melt your heart.

 

In a competition between good and bad, you can definitely feel the beauty of the movie in your heart and definitely through your eyes.

 

 

15. Snow White and the Huntsman

 

 

 

Based on the classic German fairytale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves which doesn’t really need an explanation.

 

This dark adaptation of the fairytale exhibited some profound cinematographic techniques. The evil queen sends out a huntsman to bring her stepdaughter back and then he turns to her side and then what follows is a deadly battle between good and evil.

 

Atwood’s take on Theron’s costumes is remarkable as well. While Kristen Stewart was thoroughly criticized for the casting, Charlize Theron was well-received by the critic community.

 

 

16. Season of the Witch

 

 

 

The film begins in the dark, gloomy thirteenth century when a priest accuses three women of witchcraft which eventually leads to his own death.

 

Later in the 14th century, German Teutonic Knights Sir Behmen von Bleibruck and Sir Felson are on a quest for war, but then leave the order when they witness a large civilian massacre.

 

They reach an unknown village and are bestowed with the task to take a witch to a monastery to make sure if she is the cause for the plague that is spreading in the nation.

 

There is a book, monastery, a demon, and exorcism. That is a platter filled with all items for a spooky night.

 

Gore, blood, and breathtaking battles which the camera has captured exquisitely as well. If you’re into the genre then it’s definitely watchable.

 

 

17. Eve’s Bayou (1997)

 

 

In the sweltering Louisiana heat, 10-year-old Eve Batiste discovers a disturbing secret about her seemingly ideal family. Eve’s charming father, a pillar of the community, conceals a web of adultery, ruining her innocence.

 

As she navigates the difficult summer, secrets emerge, revealing the fragmented connections within the Batiste family. Set in a rich Louisiana Creole town in the 1960s, the film delves into issues such as family secrets, generational pain, and the complexity of growing up.

 

The picture expertly merges magical realism with Creole themes, resulting in a compelling ambience that lasts long after the credits roll.

 

Eve’s Bayou received widespread acclaim for its stunning performances, particularly Jurnee Smollett’s depiction of the younger heroine. It was a box office success, surpassing expectations for an indie picture.

 

 

18. I Married a Witch

 

 

 

There is something that sweeps off in a broom and takes you on that makes this movie a beautiful must-watch.

 

One of the finest classics of Hollywood and Veronica Lake is just fabulous. When two witches a dad and daughter are burned at the stake by puritan Wooley.

 

The Wooley men are cursed for a lifetime of bad women in their lives. Well, then fate has definitely played crazy cupid because when the witches return for revenge the tables turn in favour for the best.

 

With the right amount of warmth, humour, and definitely witchcraft it’s a spectacular work of art in all its senses.

 

 

19. The Witch: Part 1 – Subversion (2020)

 

 

The Witch: Part 1 – Subversion (Manyeo) is a South Korean film about Ja-yoon, a young lady who has amnesia and finds she fled a secret government lab as a youngster.

 

As she navigates a seemingly regular existence, memories of her terrible past and weird talents emerge. Ja-yoon, pursued by the lab and plagued by her past, sets out on a mission to discover her actual identity and the secrets of her exceptional abilities.

 

The film’s success stemmed from its unusual combination of genres, which included thriller, action, and supernatural aspects. Critics commended the film’s exciting action sequences, Kim Da-mi’s engaging performance, and its treatment of topics like as memory, identity, and power abuse.

 

While some found the narrative complex and difficult, the film’s overall mystery and suspense kept audiences engaged.

 

 

20. Spirited away

 

 

 

Miyazaki is a genius and his movies aren’t any less. When ten-year-old Chihiro and her parents explore a tunnel on the way to the new home, some mysterious power transforms her parents into pigs.

 

Chihiro then takes a job at the bathhouse where she is trapped. The Bathhouse belongs to a witch.

 

She is renamed Sen and the rest of the story is about her encounter with magic and what really happens to her parents.

 

The age-old Japanese folklore of spiriting away is all about the mysterious disappearance of a person once they’ve angered the gods.

 

When you walk through Chihiro’s world through Miyazaki’s words you get lost in the perfect world.

 

The unending passion, perseverance, love, and morals for a lifetime all make this an animated masterpiece.

 

 

21. Witchfinder General

 

 

 

Of all the movies of the time that dealt with similar plots, Witchfinder General is the darkest of them all.

 

The movie to date is referred to as one of the UK’s finest horror movies. Set in 1645 an established witch hunter Matthew Hopkins and his sadistic assistant John Stearne travel from village to village torturing suspected witches.

 

When village priest John Lowes’s niece Sara is sexually exploited in order to save him and still leads to his death.

 

Her fiancee Roundhead Richard Marshall is in search of revenge. 35 years into its existence and still the finesse exhibited by this movie is still underrated.

 

The perfect villain, the pure evil incarnate, power at its peak, historical perfection and a moral to be cherished with all its bitterness.

 

Witchfinder General is a must-watch for anyone in the genre.

 

 

22.  Nanny McPhee (2005)

 

 

 

 

23. The Lords of Salem

 

 

 

In Salem, Massachusetts it all starts when Heidi a recovering drug addict who works in a DJ music store receives a strange wooden box containing an album by the band called the lords.

 

When the music is played however it seems to have a strange impact on the women around.

 

As we move deeper into the movie it is revealed that Heidi is in the lineage of Rev Hawthorne who had in the past killed a lot of witches and had been cursed that she will give birth to something that will destruct mankind.

 

If you are into the B movie genre this is definitely worth watching.

 

 

24. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

 

 

 

Now, who wouldn’t mind some action in the classic fairytales? The movie begins with everything as in the fairytale.

 

There are two children, the famous gingerbread house, and yeah, of course, the Witch with the fanbase for her house.

 

It is so real that Hansel ends up with diabetes, humor my world. After killing the witch years later Hansel and Gretel turn into famous witch hunters.

 

When eleven children go missing in a village, they set up on a mission to save the children and on the way help some falsely accused and fight against the great witch Muriel for her heinous intentions for blood moon.

 

It is nothing very challenging but a good enough not boring movie that could keep you hanging around.

 

There is so much to laugh at and not much to think and sometimes that is the only thing you need.

 

 

25. Twitches

 

 

 

When the royal witch Miranda gives birth to the twin’s destiny demands them to be separated and leads them to very different lives.

 

On earth, they are adopted by very different households and on their 21st birthday when they meet each other unexpectedly there is a release of magic that tells them who they really are.

 

While their desire to save Coventry can lead to their deaths, the final verdict is a true surprise as the villain’s proximity is revealed.

 

The twin witches or twitches unlike the books don’t offer much and are an average expectation movie.

 

 

26. Brave

 

 

 

There was a lot in question when Disney and Pixar came together and that is definitely visible in the visual treat that is Brave.

 

The first Pixar movie to have a female lead. When Princess Merida is gifted a bow and arrow by her father King Fergus on her sixth birthday the adventure begins.

 

It is definitely a good movie with a lot of good intentions that failed in some places but definitely made a mark.

 

And a special mention to Merida’s hair that bounces, flies, and runs, seriously great work Pixar on the precision.

 

It is all about growing up, getting over your childish selfishness, and taking responsibility. Not Pixar’s super best but definitely watchable.

 

 

27. Howl’s Moving Castle

 

 

 

One of the most financially successful movies in the history of Japan. Like all of Miyazaki’s splendid works like Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle teaches without preaching.

 

There are so many intricacies welded into the animation that the outcome is pitch-perfect.

 

Young milliner Sophie is cursed to be a ninety-year-old woman and she seeks the help of the wizard whom she met on a journey, Howl.

 

At Howls moving castle, we also meet Calcifer, the true source of power for the moving castle.

 

Sophie’s adventure in order to reverse the curse and save her kingdom and the stories that revolve around them makes an altogether memorable story.

 

The morals also run through you.

 

 

28. The Love Witch

 

 

 

It’s an absolutely striking wonder. Everything that goes on in this movie is perfect music, makeup, and camera shot on 35mm are all beautifully done but then there is the plot which is actually found to be missing was the main criticism it faced.

 

The film is about an urban witch Elaine in search of her perfect man. She moves to a new house and immediately starts work.

 

She seduces men from different genres of life who all mysteriously end up dead. Her final boyfriend realizes the truth behind all this leading to his own tragedy.

 

The conundrum revealed is a lack of satisfaction in the witch’s desire for love. The movie ends in delirium.

 

While the one-woman super army led by Anna Biller has used a lot of specular techniques and the beautiful infusion of a feminist perspective there is still that thought lingering, it could have been cut shorter.

 

 

29. Bedknobs and Broomsticks

 

 

 

‘Portobello Road’ and ‘Eglantine’ are still humming around and yes you can’t easily get rid of those tunes.

 

This Disney magical is definitely old but indefinitely never old enough. Angela Lansbury stars as Miss Price who is studying witchcraft as a correspondence course during World War 2.

 

Three young children board with her to save them from the air raids in London.

 

Well, the children, Miss price and Doctor Brown sets out on a magical journey flying through the winds, swimming in the deep-water lagoons, meeting the worlds in stories, and finally in a war.

 

The movie may not be for all but it is definitely for kids. There is so much love, fantasy, and relationship in the movie that children would love.

 

 

30. The Witches

 

 

 

A great adaptation of the Roald Dahl children’s classic. Just when you think you’ve got all the grandmother tales figured out what if they end up being real?

 

It all starts when a young boy Luke has to live with his grandmother after the death of his parents.

 

She has a lot of stories for Luke about witchcraft and wizardry. When grandma’s sickness forces them to move to the seaside it gets a lot more complicated for Luke.

 

At the hotel, they are staying there is an RSPCC meeting which is actually a Witches conference.

 

Young Luke and his friends Bruno and Eva are targeted. the adventurous journey of these kids that led to the destruction of a master plan by the bad witches of England is the main plot of the movie.

 

While there are a lot of things that could’ve gone wrong with this adaptation but then this dark fantasy is a must-watch Halloween special for kids.

 

Angelica Huston and Eva Ernst are definitely witch goals!

 

 

31. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

 

 

 

There is Narnia in the mind of every CS Lewis fan and to sum it up we could say that the movie has done almost complete justice in satisfying viewers.

 

Well, we do know that there is no movie that could equally compete with the original books.

 

When four siblings are stranded during the war, they end up living in the countryside.

 

An accidental revelation throws them into the myths and mysteries of Narnia. In a war against the white witch and the never-ending winter of Narnia, the family-friendly fantasy will remain in the good books beyond its flaws.

 

The wholesome elegance of the White Witch and her sorcery portrayed by Tilda Swinton is to be specially noted.

 

And yes, a piece of that Turkish delight again wouldn’t bore out the audience. While there are three movies in the series, the first movie deserves special mention.

 

The others on the list are The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)

 

 

32. Mother of tears

 

 

 

“Mater Lachrymarum” name descends a tragic fate on Rome. The movie begins when the catholic church digs up the body of a 19th-century official and is surprised when they found an urn with artifacts related to Mater Lachrymarum, the last surviving member of an ancient dark witch trio.

 

The urn is shipped to a museum in Rome where it unleashes a series of events including mass suicides, murder, and violence.

 

Sarah Mandy who works in the museum discovers her white witch lineage. In a desperate journey to save herself and mankind’s unusual steps, the story unveils.

 

Thirty years from the first in the trilogy ‘Not Suspiria’ was how the community widely reacted to the movie.

 

 

33. Dark Shadows

 

 

 

Adding to the list of soap opera remakes we have Tim Burton’s, Dark Shadows. The film received mixed reviews from critics.

 

Lack of character development and a substantial subplot led was widely acknowledged as the reason for its poor performance in some markets.

 

There is so much to entertain in the movie but that’s just it. The film begins with a dark gloomy environment promising you so much but then it fails mainly because of the lack of a well-knitted plot.

 

When Barnabas Collins denies his love to a witch, he is cursed for a life where all his loved ones will die.

 

His eternal suffering continues when in a desperate measure to save his fiancée he is again cursed to be a vampire and is buried alive.

 

A construction group accidentally lets him out

 

 

34. Into the Woods

 

 

 

An unexpected twist into the classic fairytale, this movie to our surprise has little red riding hood, the beanstalk, and Cinderella.

 

When a baker and his wife decide it’s time for a baby, the curse of the witch prevents them from making their wish true.

 

A curse that was the result of the bakers’ fathers’ deeds. The witch decides to let go of the curse under four conditions to help her make a potion: a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, a hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold, none of which she is allowed to touch.

 

And herein comes our heroes into our definitely not-so-typical Disney movie. It’s dark, it’s disturbing and yea the theatre version still stands on top.

 

 

35. Virgin Witch

 

 

 

When sisters Christine and Betty run away in search of work as models, they are lucky enough to find an opportunity in the country. which is actually a trap let out by a lesbian witch and needless to say it’s quite a ride from there.

 

Christine is initiated into the coven and then a lot happens. The movie was also released under the title Lesbian twins.

 

Well, in considering a big list this movie definitely can have a seat at the rear end.

 

 

36. The Craft

 

 

 

When Sarah Bailey an unusual kid moves to live with her dad and stepmom it was highly unlikely for her to find a bunch of misfits like her.

 

When the new girl is seen to be making pencils float in the air, the other three decide it’s time for the fourth addition to their coven.

 

In order to take revenge against all the mean girls in town and for their personal gains they start using their supernatural powers and that disrupts the peace among themselves and turns ugly.

 

There is some wicked fun and you can definitely see the craft that has gone into the making.

 

 

37. Pumpkinhead

 

 

 

A story of vengeance that may also have a moral to it. When a widowed father loses his only son, he seeks revenge against the teens who caused this and consults a witch for the same.

 

While the witch warns the dad vengeance takes a good hold of his senses and that is understandable.

 

The witch releases a dreary creature called Pumpkinhead that has a strange trait. This trait, a triggering point for destruction and the witch’s power eventually causes things beyond our perceptions,

 

 

38. They’re Watching

 

 

 

Another one from the much-adored Found footage genre. Set in the remote village of Moldova, a documentary team is traumatized not only by the villagers but also by a witch seeking revenge.

 

As they embark on the documentary to shoot a homeowner who has been transforming a run-down into an artist’s haven, they are in for a petrifying roller coaster ride.

 

While a lot happens in the movie, I can definitely guarantee you that out of the so many who came on the journey only a few or none leaves back home.

 

And the witch, oh she’s definitely a part of it although you might not really see it.

 

She’s definitely watching!

 

 

39. Teen Witch

 

 

 

It is a hilariously Okay 80s movie. When Louise Miller has a bike accident, she seeks the help of someone who eventually helps her in finding her true identity.

 

Her past is unveiled as she realizes the witch reincarnation that she is and about the powerful amulet that she lost in her previous life.

 

With the help of Madame Serena, she uses her newfound powers to totally stupid teenage dreams and thereby causing a lot of problems.

 

In total, we could classify it as a teenage fantasy movie that is a curious combination defying classification for its take into multiple genres.

 

 

40. The Wretched

 

 

 

A well-executed, decent, scary horror movie with an intriguing witch. There is something very predictable about all horror movies but their intricacies wired delicately make them unique by inches.

 

When Ben Shaw a recent divorcee sent to live with his parents realizes something strange is happening around his new neighborhood. It is not long before he realizes the impact of a witch that is known for possessing people and “feeding on the forgotten”.

 

As Ben starts identifying the almost forgotten people, he is close to his own doom.

 

It ends on a note that doesn’t end but then that is the case with most horror thrillers. While a lot could’ve been changed within the story, the camera and artistic brilliance are definitely to be noted.

 

The witch and her forest are impeccable even for their creepiness and that’s brilliant execution on that side.

 

A better tone within the characters could’ve really helped.

 

 

41. The Huntsman: Winter’s War

 

 

 

It is important to note that, don’t connect this to the previous movies. It is just an extended story thread that can almost be considered as a new movie.

 

When evil Queen Ravenna’s sister Freya has a baby with Andrew, the baby is killed by Andrew.

 

Furious Freya kills Andrew and decides from then on, all babies in her kingdom taken to her palace and be trained for being huntsman.

 

Compensating her grief with power. The plot further develops into the role of the mirror and Ravenna in the massive destruction that erupted.

 

Eric and Sara among the huntsman whose love plays the role of the driving force in making everything right are brilliantly executed.

 

The color palette is also to be noted for its perfection. It keeps you engaged, it explores love and then there are the most adorable dwarves, more than enough reasons to love it.

 

 

42. Beautiful Creatures

 

 

 

When the out-of-town normal kid falls in love with the outcast in the city we have a whole new story of love, family and witchcraft unfolding.

 

A locket that shares family history gives glimpses of the past. When two dark casters want to push Lena to the darker side complications arise.

 

In a struggle between light and darker sides, their relationship is under scrutiny so is the fate of the world.

 

The major criticism that the movie faced was for being a watered-down version of ‘Twilight’ and was mainly a by-product of the movie market demands.

 

While another group didn’t agree as well. And that’s how most average movie reviews work.

 

We don’t find the movie that bad and believe that it deserves an average ranking.

 

The cinematography, special effects, and sound have all in fact tried to do good work.

 

 

43. Seventh Son

 

 

 

Spending almost all of his life saving the land from supernatural threats, witch hunter Gregory faces his nightmare again when Witch queen Malkin regains her power and escapes during the rise of the blood moon.

 

When he pursues to capture her, his assistant gets killed and Malkin escapes, rendering him powerless.

 

Gregory then seeks the seventh son of a seventh son Tom as his apprentice and trains him to kill the witch queen before she regains her full power.

 

On their journey, Tom meets Alice a witch who is captured and rescues her from their captors.

 

The movie went through a lot of struggles during filming and it is commendable that it didn’t turn out bad.

 

 

44. Drag Me to Hell

 

 

 

While not exactly a witch movie this can generally be included in the genre. Sam Raimi incorporates genius horror into the movie and that’s definitely a treat.

 

A séance goes wrong and San Dena vows to fight the demon she faced. Years later a young bank loan officer is cursed by a customer and is haunted by an evil spirit.

 

She falls into a sleep-deprived, haunting narrative. San Dena is called upon to help but nothing truly prepares them for the rest.

 

A curse that can haunt you enough to take a trip to hell. Not exactly witchcraft but enough evil to ward off your mental peace.

 

 

45. Strike Witches

 

 

 

When a mysterious alien force called Neuroi attacks the alternative earth, there is no other option but to call upon the witches to save the day.

 

Yoshika Miyafuji, a girl from the Fusō Empire joins the titular Strike Witches to investigate the death of her father and help fight off the Neuroi.

 

Inspired by real-life pilots, the witches build striker units, a kind of weapon that enhances their magical abilities. 

 

This spin-off of the anime series is not as popular as the series itself but it’s a decent watch.

 

 

46. The Last Witch Hunter

 

 

 

One mandatory aspect of all witch movies is that ‘it all began hundreds of years ago’ and so does this movie.

 

And so, eight hundred years ago the witch queen unleashed the black plague with the sole intention to wipe out humanity.

 

Kaulder leads the knights into her defeat and is cursed to eternal life and there begins our story.

 

Present-day Kaulder helps in finding rogue witches and saving the world. When the evil witch is resurrected her aim is to avenge her death and what follows is an epic battle between good and evil.

 

Though a bit of crack in the plot, great visuals, and good casting makes this movie deserve a place on the list.

 

 

47. The Witches

 

 

 

Another adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic. Almost the same plot as the earlier movie but much lower in its standards.

 

We do have another one on the list, do check that one out. This one crept into our list only to let you know even in 2020 people ruin remakes and the saga never ends and yes, we have Anne Hathaway in the movie.

 

Except for Octavia Spencer, there is not much we could give a good rating to.

 

 

48. Practical Magic

 

 

 

We also have good movies in the end, so go on. When Maria Owens, a young witch with an unborn child is exiled to an unknown city.

 

She casts a spell on herself to no longer fall in love and soon she succumbs to death.

 

The curse however travels a long way to present-day Gillian and Sally Owens and they totally own it.

 

They cast their spells for love and the aches that follow are ridiculously funny and also dark.

 

Beyond love, there is so much about the sisters and their relationship that is very convincing and real in the movie.

 

Who knew mixing a witch movie and a romantic comedy can keep you engaged for so long?

 

Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock are devilishly awesome and their characterizations run perfectly through the plot.

 

The town’s fear of witchcraft was not fully developed but still, the movie definitely runs on different standards.

 

Wickedly funny, entertaining, and a light-hearted magical experience.

 

 

49. Witchcraft

 

 

 

All Grace wanted to have was a normal happy family. While her pregnancy she has the disturbing vision of two witches being burned which haunts her.

 

After her delivery, however, the images no longer appear and she shifts to her mother in laws mansion.

 

The actual problems arise when she realizes that her husband and mother-in-law are actually tied to the occult.

 

When motherly instincts strike, she is up against her own family in order to save herself and her newborn.

 

The underground horror flick managed twelve sequels but didn’t really lead to a lot of good reviews.

 

As for the visuals the movie was widely criticized for its wide collection of borrowed shots from horror movies, mainly Rosemary’s Baby.
