Following the tragic death of their parents, a sister and brother take a group of friends to rural Florida to stay at a rickety old house which they’ve recently inherited. Little do the youngsters realize that some decades before, a woman suspected of being a witch was burned at the stake on the property by the zealous townsfolk. With the group settled in for a few days of drinking and partying, the demonic forces that reside in the house are quick to take hold - possessing a number of the teens and prompting them to take up knives, axes and chainsaws against their friends in an orgy of death and dismemberment. As the carnage escalates, the few remaining members of the group are forced to seek out the assistance of a local aged priest, in the hopes of putting an end to the horror.
The directorial debut of Alessandro Capone, who had previously penned Ruggero Deodato’s slice-and-dice effort Body Count, WITCH STORY (which was originally marketed in the US as a sequel to the 1982 supernatural slasher Superstition) is a prime example of late 80s Italian splatter, featuring an astonishing array of nastiness with numerous bodies being hacked, slashed and generally beaten to a pulp. Frantically blending The Evil Dead, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Exorcist and slasher elements in a way that only the Italians can, the celluloid sorcerers at Vinegar Syndrome have conjured up WITCH STORY for its world UHD debut, newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and loaded with a bewitching assortment of new and archival extras.

"Witch Story was a good surprise and if you're a giallo fan this is definitely a great purchase for you. It looks like Night of the Demons, but with a giallo spin. The 4k transfer is superb as always and the extras are fantastic. VinSyn rocks in every level releasing these almost unknown films."
"Also known as Streghe, this cult Italian horror film shares a "low-budget charm" Witch Story attempts a slightly more serious, atmospheric tone, though it's often criticized for being stilted and poorly paced"
"Entertaining little Italian Horror! Easy watch and a host of great bonus features as always. Excellent transfer too."
"I purchased this movie for the reason of it being a witch-focused horror movie and its association of being a sort of sequel to the great 1982 movie Superstition. I enjoyed the parts with the witch, but wished the group of young characters were more likable. The PQ is good and there are enough extras to cover everything I would want to know about the movie."
"Literally up there with top tier Vinegar Syndrome. The film is madness and highly recommend for wacky italian horror nonsense. Little ghost girl teases teens in a spooky house where her mother was burnt at the stake. . you know the usual. Then hell breaks loose when some of the teens read tarot cards and it really hits the fan! Recommend if you liked Amok Train, Demon Wind and the like Big cast, lots of strange goings on and some gory bits!"
"Great looking release but movie was okay."
"This one I really liked. . . A first class release Great picture quality and special features. . . loved the slip too Highly recommend it"
"Witch Story is a lively and imaginative horror film that mixes gothic atmosphere with playful, over-the-top thrills. The colorful visuals and energetic pacing make it a consistently entertaining watch. It’s a fun, cult-friendly entry that embraces its supernatural chaos with confidence and charm."
"Great restoration. Pictures looks awesome. Lots of extras that I’ve enjoyed watching. I love the packaging. It should be the standard for all future VS’s releases."
"Another great release from vinegar syndrome"
