4 | 1h30m | en | Horror

When ambitious analyst Lincoln Mathers (played by Doug Cockle) relocates his family from New York to London, his wife Sarah (Sara Stewart) discovers a new disturbing power and becomes hostage to an ancient spirit. As Mathers notices that the family is tearing apart and that his wife's behavior becomes more violent and erratic, he accepts that to save the woman he married he must take a leap of faith. London Voodoo is one of the few films about voodoo to show the belief system in a positive light. Here, it's "work" that's evil. The film shows multicultural voodoo followers in a contemporary urban setting (London). As research for the script, the filmmakers travelled to Cuba, Miami and New Orleans to experience voodoo first hand.

Reviews

Angelfish_Solo I recently stumbled across this film and decided to give it a go. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be like saying I was pleasantly surprised to find £1M in my bank account. This is a little Gem of a British Horror film. In the days of FX driven drivel and remakes this breaths life into a highly jaded genera. Having been quite disappointed by the Skeleton Key, I was sceptical about a Low Budget Voodoo film. I am so glad to be wrong.Previous comments state the acting was wooden / leaden. To me it felt real. Almsot like watching a documentary. The office scenes were so true to life it was scary.It has the feel of Rosemarys Baby with a modern twist. It did not need high budget FX, blood, gut and sex (not that there is anything wrong with that in a horror film) and indeed these would have detracted from the charm and power of the film.I would say it is one of the best British Horror films of all time.Angelfish.

timothyinchina 'London Voodoo' is a story about a corporate New Yorker who moves to London with his wife and child. The wife discovers the remains of a voodoo shrine in the cellar of their London apartment with very predictable consequences. While voodoo is normally associated with creole culture in the southern United States, London's vibrant Afro-Caribbean culture also maintains some remnants of voodoo practices. The minimal cultural differences between Britain and the US begs the question as to why US actors were needed in this film in the first place. The acting is amateur and wholly unconvincing. Movie fans will be sympathetic to what the movie is trying to achieve. However, this movie is destined for the bargain basement.

Iloveaudreyh I found London Voodoo an intriguing and thought-provoking film, it has many different levels it which it can be enjoyed. At one level, it is a beautifully shot piece of cinematography, with many literally stunning, jaw dropping images. It's a thriller, that keeps you engrossed in the storyline from start to finish. The film has real meaning and relevance to modern life - the loss of love between the main couple caused by the stresses and demands of the husbands job being a central part of the plot. I would have liked to see more gore in places, but maybe this would have cheapened what is a classy well shot film. Overall I enjoyed the film a lot, and would certainly like to watch it again.

g_low Well done Robert Pratten! Well acted, high tension after the secret was found, superbly directed and a most unusual ending.... The transformation from a quiet housewife to a warrior was most convincing as was the delinquent nanny. Most relieved to find that the snail survived! Accident scene realistic. However the paperboy was not; papers were not just thrown at the house... Mr Pratten has clearly done an impressive amount of research into the voodoo scene in London and I look forward to seeing the DVD if it will include details of this. I would give this 8 out of ten.
