WITCHCRAFT VI: THE DEVIL'S
MISTRESS (1994)

If you've seen one Witchcraft movie, you've seen them all. That's especially true of this movie, which
recycles the same, dumbass formulaic plot as the previous two installments that I had to suffer through.
A serial killer is killing women and Will Spanner is brought in to solve the case somehow, only to find out
that the occult is vaguely connected to it. There is nothing new here. Character development, tight
plotting, and acting skills are not in this movie's bag of tricks. The biggest surprise, however, is the
inclusion of some much-needed humor that surprisingly makes this entry a lot more fun to watch than
the last two, but it's still not a good movie.

 This is the first and only film in the series to be directed by a woman. Julie Davis is from Miami Beach,
Fl (Jorge's backyard) and has since then made a few movies, but nothing comparable to the
masterpiece that is part 6 (kidding, of course). Stuntman Jerry Spicer takes up the mantle of Will
Spanner this time around (and only this time, thank God). You know him from such films as...wow, no
one in these movies seemed to do anything with their careers after this. Is the series cursed? Possibly,
but Julie Strain is still working, so maybe it only affects the crappy, non-big breasted actors in the cast.
This film was co-written by Julie, but the other writer, Peter E. Fleming, would go on to work on part 7.
This entry introduces us to the characters of Detective Lutz and Garner, who will become series
regulars. Although John E. Holiday (why do two guys in this film have an 'E' for their middle
name...coincidence?) would not return to reprise his brilliant portrayal of Detective Garner, who doesn't
agree with Mexican food and watches too much TV, he would return to the series in part 8 as a guy
named Fred Victor. Interestingly enough, part 8 (Salem's Ghost) was never meant to be a part of the
Witchcraft series, until the producers saw it and realized it sucked so bad that the only way they could
sell it is if they plastered it as a sequel to the mind-bogglingly successful series. Anyway, now to the
movie at hand.

 There's a muscular guy running around LA in a sleeveless shirt abducting sexy young girls. Sound
familiar? Of course it does because this movie proves not only that the Witchcraft series is creatively
bankrupt, but offers almost nothing except titty shots. Two dopey cops, Lutz and Garner, are on the
case and when they strike upon a clue that hints at an occult motive they call upon paranormal expert
Will Spanner. Will is now a divorce lawyer (he was an insurance lawyer in the 4th movie, but apparently
lawyers can switch their "majors" willy-nilly) and is still with Keli (who is played by the gorgeous Debra K.
Beatty, who has appeared in mostly softcore classics like Animal Instincts 2 and Caged Heat 3000). Will
now has a dumber face than ever before and is also a ginger kid! He is asked for his help by the cops
and is brought down to the morgue to examine a new body that has just been found. Apparently, Will's
powers have grown because he showed almost no supernatural aptitude in the other installments, but in
this one he is psychic and can sense evil or some shit. You would think the cops want him to work on the
case, but no, they bring him in to watch them interview other psychics to see which one is real and can
help them. This entire scene, which is extremely too long, is pointless. Why would they want to interview
psychics if they believe Will is for real? After this incredible waste of time, we meet the last supernatural
expert, and possibly the reason for this whole scene. Once again, the Witchcraft series continues to
support the long-haired British guy acting community by hiring Bryan Nutter to play the evil Savanti. Oh,
shit! His name starts with an 'S'? He must be connected to Satan, according to the ridiculous rules of this
series. Will and Savanti instantly hate each other and Will urges the cops to arrest him, but they don't
believe that creepy-ass Savanti had anything to do with the murders.

 Savanti wants Will out of his way so he sends one of his henchwomen, Cat, to get rid of him. She poses
as a woman looking for a divorce and asks Will to keep tabs on her husband to prove her case. She
sends him to a night club where Will is drugged and gets a blowjob from a demonic stripper (the look on
the actor's face is priceless!). He runs into Lutz and Garner, who  are also keeping tabs on the joint, but
only because Savanti works there (coincidence?). Will decides to go home and has sex with Keli in a
soapy bathtub (pictured below) and halfway through he tries to drown her (just like they did in part 5) but
he stops himself at the last minute. Another dead body shows up and Lutz and Garner are catching flack
from their always-angry captain. Will shows up and is almost thrown off the case, but he and Lutz agree
to keep an eye on Savanti together because Will is dead certain he is responsible. Will returns to the
club and meets up with Savanti (the weird thing is that he acts like he didn't know Savanti owned the
club, but he found that out last night...so what the fuck is with his stupid face?). Meanwhile, Savanti's
hench-people are trying to kidnap Keli, but they forget their syringe at Will's office (long story) and Cat
goes back to retrieve it. There she meets Will's secretary and we find out that she is a virgin that has
just graduated from Sacred Heart, which is a convent school (and she also has a boyfriend???) and
thusly she becomes the perfect victim for Savanti's sacrificial ceremony to awake the devil or whatever
he's trying to do.

 We get a nice long scene of Keli washing her boobies in a new soapy bathtub as the muscle guy from
the beginning tries to break into the house. Will makes it back home in time to save her. That's okay
though because Cat picks him (muscle guy) up and they leave, with Will's secretary in the trunk. But first
they stop for a quick hump on the car in the middle of the street. Will calls in his old pal Lutz and
explains to him that they have taken his secretary (how he makes this leap is unexplained) and that they
will be at the highest point in the city because "they have to be as close to the moon as possible". Does
that sound stupid to anyone else? How does he know this and why would...you know what, forget it. Let's
wrap this bullshit up. Will kills Cat by stabbing her boob, then yanks his secretary off of the altar and
pushes Savanti gently onto it. Suddenly some cheese-tastic blue lightning comes out of the sky and
makes Savanti glow and I suppose it kills him. The final battle takes exactly 3 minutes, then Will and Lutz
walk off into the dark to get doughnuts.

 I am officially tired of the Witchcraft series and am not looking forward to watching any more of them.
With this movie, the producers and the writers have decided to continue to throw plotting and character
away and basically make a porno movie. Whenever there is a chance for boobies, we get boobies. "Hey,
I'm sitting down." SEX SCENE. "Oh, you collect pencils?" SEX SCENE. "Have you seen my blue socks?"
SEX SCENE. I'm not kidding either, it plays like a porn trying to have a plot, but minus the naughty insert
shots. This is also an odd, awkward film. Will is not revealed in this movie until the 25 minute mark, kind
of like Bond in From Russia with Love. This, however, is very lame because Will comes off as a
supporting character and not the lead hero he is supposed to be. The character of Will Spanner is a
damn disaster to begin with, though! He is dull, wimpy, non-proactive, and simply an uninteresting guy
who has some kind of magic power he never uses and does not inspire respect or admiration. The
directing is just as dull and simple. Also, director Davis uses strange lenses for her closeups, distorting
almost every shot as if we were looking at the actor through a fisheye. Altogether this is a really, really
bad movie, but the bits of humor show us that the filmmakers aren't clueless doofs. Leaps in logic and
plot-holes are the key phrases for the Witchcraft series. Also, like I mentioned, they have a formula and I
have distilled it below for you:

THE WITCHCRAFT SERIES PLOT FORMULA:
1.) A wizard/ex-demon/ex-angel wants to kidnap women and sacrifice them to raise Satan.
2.) Will Spanner is a useless lawyer and an even more useless warlock who has no visible powers or
intelligence.
3.) The evil wizard wants to stop Will, who is apparently a threat or make him an accomplice.
4.) Will's girlfriend will eventually be in danger and/or get kidnapped for the final sacrifice.
5.) Will confronts the evil whatever, who is wearing a gown, at the ceremony and a ridiculously stupid
fight will take place wrapping the film up within seconds.

 Well, that wraps me up for my first portion of this epic series. I am still unsure why they made so many
movies and who the hell they made them for? This are awful, stupid movies, and they should not have
as many sequels as they do because they are basically the same movie over and over again. I turn the
series over to my good friend Jorge now for the exciting 7th, 8th, and 9th installments. And hold on to
your butts for the next one folks, because it's the supposed "final chapter" and there just may be a white
light in store for everyone's favorite milquetoast hero, Will Spanner. Jorge, tag, you're it. Good luck!
