This seems like an unfinished porn spoof of an old Roger Corman film, The Undead. The thin premise concerns using witchcraft to transport Cleopatra from the past to develop ads for Mirabelle Cosmetics. Director Ray had a ratings booster on cable with Holly Sampson ("Tiger Wood's Mistress") during the time Tiger's fight with his wife was grabbing all the headlines. But Holly isn't in any nude scenes with guys. Could it be she didn't want to make Woods jealous in case a proposal might arrive from him? Sampson would have made a perfect Samantha for this show, but we get tiny Christine Nguyen instead without her sexy twin partner from the Bikini films. Michelle Bauer is dressed up like a nosy old neighbor and has no nasty work at all. Fans were shocked. It's my hunch this movie is left over from Bewitched Housewives and form fitted for the new starlets. Absent are Ray favorites Nichole Sheridan, Vodoo,Jay Richardson, and Beverly Lynn. Late photography director Gary Graver leaves an empty vacuum, too, with Ray using more distant camera work at flat 90 degree angles. The opening credits in a graveyard seem to have nothing to do with the film.

kosmasp14 August 2020The joke should be about the same level of jokes you'll get here. Does not make much sense, does not have to of course, because there was more or less just one reason these movies were made. Still the title is really funny (sexual Witchcraft that is, as you can see in the picture/poster/cover and not Little Witches) and I'm surprised there aren't more movies with this title ... or even a series.
That aside this is mostly softcore erotica. I skipped or forwarded most those scenes, trying to watch a couple of them back to back in no time, to write the reviews. Still noticed hands being put on or rather covering where human genitalia would or could have shown up. But probably to so cover up some pads that were there I reckon. Though all that grinding ... I can't imagine the play pretend not being at least fun to do, let's put it this way. And they are all having fun and the story, as thin as it is, is also quite fun. Acting is not the best throughout, but again that is not why most are here for anyway. -
Scarecrow-8829 November 2011Sheri (Christine Nguyen) is a witch, newly married to a rising ad man, David (Billy Chappell, who has become a member of Fred Olen Ray's stock softcore family), hired by a company executive (Fred Olen Ray regular Ted Newsom) looking for fresh ideas because he so desperately wants to nab a campaign for Maribelle Cosmetics. David has rivals in his company, Jack (Randy Spears) and Steve (Eric Masterson), both feeling slighted by the hiring of some new "boy genius". The ad campaign is up for grabs, which means all three are excited about the opportunity to get a promotion and pay raise. This is pretty much the crux of the plot, but the film is more concerned with nosy busybody neighbor Abigail Turnbull's (Michelle Bauer, going over-the-top, appropriate for the silly material of the film) spying on Sheri. Turnbull is shown peering through the newlyweds' window, watching them have sex. Turnbull sees Sheri perform a trick with a champagne glass, and believes she's the "bride of Satan". Bauer gets all bug-eyed and animated, so if this isn't your kind of comedic acting, her performance will probably annoy you. Most of the film is, of course, about the sex. While Bauer receives top honors, the film has a bloated softcore cast with plenty of familiar faces. Nguyen has been in a bunch of these types of Fred "Nicholas Medina" Ray softcore farces, and has her sex scenes with Chappell (the scenes are really no different than when she's banging Frankie Cullen, another buff stud often seen in Nicholas Medina flicks) which are standard bump-and-grind outings. You get to see the ad company secretary (Michelle Maylene who, for a seasoned porn starlet, still looks like she's twelve) screw around with both Jack and Steve, Sheri's *BFF*, Carrie (Holly Sampson; also a witch) conjure up Cleopatra (!), having a lesbian encounter with her (the actress, Vanessa Brink, was also in "Lady Chatterly's Ghost", starring Sampson), and a sexy cop patrolling the suburban neighborhood (Jessie Lunderby; her bust barely staying still in her shirt). Sampson, criminally, has only ONE scene (with Brink who also shags Spears), and her promising lesbian encounter with Lunderby is over before it gets good and started (just a disappointment, oh, man, come on Nicholas!). It is funny hearing Cleopatra telling Sampson to attack her *beep*, crying aloud "f**k yeah!" Anyway, the film gets everyone of the cast (besides Bauer) in a sex scene (or two, in the case of Spears) which occupies a bit of the running time. Meanwhile, David has hit a "creator's block", desperately needing a creative spark, Sheri hoping something will come to mind in regards to a woman's beauty and how to market such a concept into a successful campaign. I've given the plot a bit more time than usual as normally softcore reviews take very little to write. I have to admit, and I never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to tire of Nguyen. At this point, she has exhausted every kind of softcore character, while still beautiful Nguyen probably needs to remain relegated to a small supporting role where she has sex with someone and vanishes from the plot afterward. This is one of those rare occasions (maybe because Cullen is not in the film) where no male has a central part in a softcore farcical film by FOR...it is shared by all the male members of the cast. Bauer (and Sampson, who does a lot, as a mischievous witch who enters and exits Sheri's life for kicks, with little) has the most colorful and fun character of the cast.

lor_27 August 2022Fred Olen Ray is a self-made filmmaker, the epitome of working his way up from Grade-Z indies to Grade-B, or maybe C.
Here we have an overacted attempted at simulated tv sit-com, namely "Bewitched", with simulated sex at its core. Watching it over a decade late, I was struck how Ray, who started out at the bottom, shooting an end-of-career John Carradine to use the footage in many a pasted-together movie (the way poor Boris Karloff was misused in the '60s at the end of his illustrious career) to end up graduating to ridiculously bland and corny Christmas features for the squeaky-clean Hallmark label.
From a porn point-of-view this is squeaky clean too. Cunnilingus is fairly accurately depicted without the close-ups, fellatio faked, and all the other standard positions like doggystyle and cowgirl present too. No money shots.
Casting is awful: lookalike brunettes to confuse the viewer and even lookalike blondes. Ray regular Christine Nguyen imitating Elizabeth Montgomery's witch fantasy routine is merely lousy. Randy Spears near the end of his porn career (only to be born again as a religioso) is embarrassing.
Most obvious element is a rushed ending plus lots of highlight footage and then a super-slow end credits to pad the movie toward acceptable feature length.
Of course, the pandering to genre fans, not Debbie Rochon for a change, but having Michelle Bauer of both softcore and hardcore fame ham it up as the cliched nosy neighbor is merely time-consuming. -
zmoviefan26 September 2011and more nudity and tons of simulated sex, man/woman, woman/woman and the hilarious Michelle Bauer.
Only reason I watched this was cause of my favorite Scream Queen Michelle Bauer. Here she plays a nosy neighbor who discovers her new neighbor is a witch and that's pretty much the plot.
Skin is the name of the game here and every major cast member with the exception of Bauer gets naked.
There are a few fun bits here and there and the cast is certainly having fun with their dialog.
Some of the "sexy" scenes are a little too long and the lead actress tends to look at the camera (which can be very distracting in my opinion). An unresolved ending also bothered me, otherwise this kept me entertained.
If you catch it on late night cable like I did and are a fan of Ms. Bauer go ahead and watch it :-) I'm glad she's back acting, even in fare like this. -
Michael_Elliott11 December 2012Sexual Witchcraft (2011)
** (out of 4)
Fred Olen Ray cheapie about a witch (Christine Nguyen) who has yet to tell her new husband about her secret. Another witch (Holly Sampson) shows up and brings Cleopatra with her while a nosy neighbor (Michelle Bauer) tries to prove that they're all witches. SEXUAL WITCHCRAFT is about as good as you can get in regards to a softcore film that was obviously thrown together on a very small budget. Mr. Fred Olen Ray was certainly an expert at the time this thing was made and I do wonder if the hiring of Sampson was something to get the film more sales since she was in the news for the Tiger Woods scandal. Either way, the director clearly knows what people who watch these movies want and that's very little plot and a lot of simulated sex scenes with nudity. I will admit that I don't typically watch these types of films unless they feature a cult actress or come from a well known director. This film here is mildly entertaining in that it never takes itself too serious and instead of a heavy plot we're just given a lot of sex scenes with the majority of them being erotic. With that said, I still can't help but laugh at how silly and over-the-top some of the simulated scenes are. The cast is pretty good, although we're not really expecting Oscar-worth performances. Bauer appears to be having a blast as the nerd neighbor trying to prove her theories correct. Ted Newsom also appears and fans of his should enjoy the brief role here. SEXUAL WITCHCRAFT certainly isn't the work of Bergman but those wanting some cheap "B" entertainment should find it here.
