I completely invested myself in the world that Kingdom of Souls was set in: a young girl, Arrah, is the daughter of two powerful Witch Doctors, who themselves come from a long line of Witch Doctors. But when Arrah comes of age, her powers do not come with it. She’s incapable of even the simplest acts of magic. So when children start disappearing, one of them being a friend of hers, Arrah decides to buy magic from a Charlatan. The cost is years from her life for every magical act. But in borrowing her powers, Arrah discovers a terrible secret. That all Witch Doctors, all people, are in grave danger.

I really enjoyed this - it’s completely immersive, and every detail needed to build an alternate world is thought of. The end could have been a bit more succinct and to the point, and I’m always a bit sad when a previously strong female character seems to lose it over a man, but on the whole, I really enjoyed this and will look out for the next in the series on audible (I really enjoyed the audiobook)

Ok movie
I understand why the sequel was made but felt it could have been better. I felt that it was just reusing the story from the original and just added some more characters and different scenes. It did explain a little more of what the blair witch was and what happened which I liked.

It's fun (0 more)
A family film that still has a feel good feel to it...
A trainee witch is looking after a group of children in wartime Britain when her final lesson in witchcraft doesn't arrive... What follows is a search for the final spell on a magical bed... Trying to stop a German invasion and a fair bit of singing and dancing...

Angela Lansbury stars, in a role far removed from the character that she would later become famous for and puts in a great performance as the novice witch...

A live action and cartoon film that works really well when the two bend together, and is just the sort of film to bring a smile when things are getting you down...

End the curse
An OK end to a decent trilogy. We get to find out the origin of the Witch of Shadyside and her curse. The first half of the film I found incredibly slow and rather boring. Set in 1666 it takes a long while for anything interesting to happen. Although eventually we do find out the back story of the Witch.
This one doesn't really get going until near the end when we are back in '94 with the group trying to survive and end the curse once and for all. Worth persevering with to get to this section if you liked the first two films. Overall though the weakest of the 3 films.
