Warlock Moon (1973)
It's five minutes from the end when something actually happens in Warlock Moon. A film supposedly about the Occult, the supernatural and cannibalism.
A story about a college girl who meets a reporter and they end up at a run down health spa. For the next seventy minutes nothing happens bar some wandering around the spa and sitting round a table with an old woman a couple of times.
Although quite atmospheric at times, especially the eerie exploration of the old spa hotel, my interest waned quite quickly due to the film being so uneventful.
Warlock Moon is a film that makes (hint, hint) Ti West's The House of the Devil (2009) seem like an OTT action, horror extravaganza. If you like very talky films by all means give it a go but if you are hoping for down and dirty seventies exploitation and scuzziness prepare for disappointment.
