Witchcraft XIII: Blood of the Chosen - 2008

 I can't do math.  I knew that that last 3 of this series were all filmed at the same time, so I thought to watch that trilogy next.  But I loaded Witchcraft 13 not doing math right cuz that trilogy actually would have started at 14.  Duh.

Filmed in 2005 and released 3 years later, this movie represents the odd gap that eventually happened in the Witchcraft series.  There was only one movie between 2002 and 2016 and this is it. So did this kill the franchise?  Doesn't seem so, this is about normal fare for the moment.  Except, it does represent the oddness of slowing the nudity and slowing the cheese factor down and replacing it with boring PG feeling blandness in feel.  Also I will see if 12 explains this but in 13 and 16 at least Will now has super powers?  Its just fucking stupid dude.  Why can he shoot electricity and shit?

These movies didn't have a lot to go for them to begin with, so its strange to me they would get rid of two of the largest fun factors to be had.  There's so ritualistic killings that Spanner is brought in to investigate, again, in this one.  When hearts are being ripped out and demonic creatures are seducing people, Spanner is brought in because of his connection to Garner and Lutz, who are not in this movie.

The end of this series is going to be a slog.  I'm going to save Witchcraft 12 for a reprieve after I watch 14 and 15 next.  But yikes.  This is off to a bad start.
