Reviews:
“This movie starts off with a bang, featuring a witch devouring a baby, and then doesn’t really slow down all that much from there. You can see hints of everything from Suspiria (both versions) and The Beyond to Carrie, Single White Female and Drag Me to Hell in these stories.” B&S About Movies
“There are quite a few scenes of older women gurning for shock effect, initially shocking but diluted through overuse, amid a gradual ramping up of nastiness. The movie doesn’t all work and falls apart a bit towards the end, but there are some good performances here, although I’d have liked more story and less atmospherics.” Bloody Flicks
“Filled with tons of jump scenes and really the essence of what being an evil witch is all about Two Witches is a darker reminder of every single film that made you be afraid of witches. Not since Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell have you ever seen a movie really focus on the bad that a witch could do.” Horror Movies Uncut
“The acting is good, the effects are fantastic, and the lighting and direction help induce a steady uptick in heart palpitations. The second chapter may not stand up as the stronger of the two tales, faltering mainly in its transition. Still, the film remains massively entertaining, making Two Witches a wickedly fun ride I’m sure audiences will enjoy.” Horror Obsessive
“There are flashes of Dario Argento’s Suspiria in its dizzying lights, disorientating camera work and vibrant colours on display […] The rich, sumptuous colours and set design, along with incredible cinematography and sound design, makes for a well-put-together film, a well-crafted homage to 70s horror cinema, which, unfortunately, fails to live up to its full potential because of a brash attitude and convoluted plot.” UK Film Review
