It's been three years since warlock Will Spanner (Charles Solomon Jr.) has used his powers, but when faced with a demonic, murderous music manager who removes his victims' hearts, the supernatural lawyer must once again draw on his magical abilities.
With Will investigating a murder case that takes him to sleazy strip clubs and smoky blues bars, Witchcraft IV: The Virgin Heart is more like a film noir than a horror — and a bad one at that, with a dull mystery and a lifeless performance from star Solomon. Written and directed by James Merendino, the film cements the Witchcraft series as one of the worst horror franchises ever, this latest entry being the weakest one yet.
As with the previous three films, the film suffers from dreadful acting, flat direction, and cheap production values, with particularly bad sound, much of the dialogue almost impossible to make out. I imagine that none of this seemed all that important to Merendino, just so long as skin-flick legend Julie Strain (playing a stripper called Belldonna) got her clothes off—which she does.
This was the last of the Witchcraft films to feature Charles Solomon Jr. as William: perhaps even he had his limits and could take no more of this garbage.
