'Witch Story' is a 1989 Italian horror film directed by Alessandro Capone.

Production



'Witch Story' was the directorial debut of Alessandro Capone. Capone had previously worked as a screenwriter since the mid-1970s including a few horror films such as 'Body Count'. Capone stated that he was a fan of horror films and wanted his debut to be a horror film. He had the international distributor Manolo Bolognini to give him a new guaranteed minimum to help start the project. The film was shot partially in Rome but predominantly in Florida.

Release



'Witch Story' was distributed in Italy by Titanus on 26 May 1989. The film was released in the United Kingdom as 'Witch Story', in other English territories as 'Superstion 2' due its similarities to the film 'Superstition'. In Germany the film was released as a sequel to Larry Cohen's 'Wicked Stepmother' which was titled 'Tanz der Hexen' with 'Witch Story' being titled 'Tanz der Hexen Teil 2'.

Reception



In Italy, Leonardo Autera of 'Corriere della Sera' gave the film a negative review noting "slapdash editing, full of inconsistencies", "coarse special effects" and an "amateur cast" outside Ian Bannen who the reviewer noted looked bored in the film.
