For the love of Pete, where the hell do I even start? The movie opens with two blatantly false statistics.
--'The bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death, killed an estimated 200 million people in Europe.'
No, the correct figure is 25 million. Europe's population at the time was ~65 million, so a death toll of 200 million would have wiped out the entire population of Europe about three times over.
--'There are 61,551 recorded executions for witchcraft.'
No, the total ESTIMATE of executions for witchcraft is 40,000. We don't even have records for that many, and certainly not for the utterly absurd figure of 61,551.
COTWT desperately wants to be taken seriously and tries to emulate some aspects of Hammer Horror, but it looks like it was produced by a bunch of high school kids on an overdose of Valium. The result is 103 minutes of gibberish that even Uwe Bolle would disown.
With a rambling, incoherent plot and actors who sound like they were dragged from a psych ward on 'Extra Medicine Day', this giant steaming dung ball made me want to remove my own eyes with a combine harvester.
I rate 'Curse of the Witching Tree' at 3.33 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a humiliating 1/10 on IMDb.
