While flying to his father's funeral in rural Appalachia, an intense storm causes Marquis to lose control of the plane carrying himself and his family. He soon awakens wounded, alone and trapped in Ms. Eloise's attic. Eloise claims she can nurse him back to health with a hoodoo figure she's made from his blood and skin. Unable to call for help, Marquis desperately tries to break free from her dark magic and save his family from a sinister ritual before the rise of the blood moon.

Critics Consensus

Despite a promising beginning, this repetitive and predictable thriller lacks enough of an identity to cast much of a Spell.

B-

Tonderai creates a rustic, moody atmosphere, but more importantly, he never lets his underlying message slip away.

I wish there had been more commentary on class and the sort of "city vs. rural folks," and maybe less of the gore that didn't really seem to achieve much purpose.

Has such a strong beginning, but winds up being a bit of a disappointment.

2/5

What at first appears to be voodoo version of Stephen King's Misery soon descends into a repetitive, by-the-numbers thriller with a clunky and contrived climax.

7.5/10

While Spell has an intriguing premise, it lacks a certain level of mystery, which hinders it from delivering the suspenseful story that was originally conveyed in the trailer.

Spell may be laden with cliches, but it's undeniably entertaining.
