Witchcraft XI: Sisters in Blood

In this chilling campus shocker, three Catholic college students—Colleen Jordan, Miranda Odell, Keri Burston, Kathleen St. Lawrence, and Maria Fitzwater, Lauren Ian Richards—participate in a seemingly harmless acting class exercise meant to help them get into character for a school production of Macbeth. What starts as a method acting drill soon spirals into something far darker when the director, Professor Ramsden, Don Scribner, and Keri’s hidden beliefs as a Satanist surface with a chilling goal: to resurrect the spirits of the Sinobia sisters and bind them to the living to unleash a long-dormant evil. The ritual is supposed to awaken these dead witches and funnel their power into the students, turning their bodies into vessels for something ancient and malevolent.

As the possession begins, Maria is the first to fall under the sisters’ sway, and the calm of the campus shatters into a deadly spree. Maria becomes a lethal conduit, wandering from cemetery to street to classroom with a single, terrifying aim: acquire the stone key the sisters once forged centuries ago. The stone key acts as a portal, a bridge through which the demon Abadon—Satan’s general—can slip into the world. The initial bloodshed draws the attention of the city’s police, particularly LAPD Det. Lucy Lutz, Stephanie Beaton, and Det. Garner, Mikul Robins. They begin tracing a pattern of occult-tinged murders that baffle the squad and push the case toward the supernatural.

With Maria now possessing one of the actresses, the danger escalates as Keri falls under the same dark influence, and together the two handle a desperate confrontation with a priest who refuses to aid in the search for the key. The body count climbs, and the campus atmosphere grows increasingly surreal as the living and the dead blur. Into this maelstrom steps the good-hearted warlock Will Spanner, James Servais, who is engaged to Colleen’s sister Kelly, Wendy Blair. Will senses the rising evil on campus and uses his powers to peel back the occult veil, conducting a quiet, methodical investigation that points straight to the Sinobia sisters and their possession of the three actresses. His discoveries threaten to accelerate Abadon’s arrival, and the stakes could not be higher for anyone on campus.

The plot thickens when the witches discard the director as an expendable piece and sacrifice him to speed Abadon’s entry into the world. The campus’s moral center begins to crumble under the weight of fear, and a crucial link to the hellish plot emerges: one of the school’s nuns holds the literal key to hell, the very stone Maria had been seeking. With Sister Seraphina, Anita Page, offering help, there is a glimmer of hope, but the witches do not hesitate to strike. They murder Sister Seraphina to seize the key, and the loss of a trusted ally pushes the campus toward a full evacuation as the death toll rises.

As Colleen becomes possessed, the witches gain another body to open the portal to hell, and the danger intensifies as the four players—Lutz, Garner, Kelly, and Spanner—pursue a final, desperate confrontation in the cemetery. Abadon makes one last bid to seduce Will, tempting him to the dark side, but he refuses, aided by the unwavering efforts of Det. Lutz and Det. Garner. In a tense, cinematic showdown, they manage to thwart the demon’s plan and prevent Satan’s return, saving the world from an apocalyptic breach even as the campus reels from the nightmarish events.

The story coils around friendship, faith, and the perilous lure of power, balancing intimate character moments with escalating supernatural dread. It pushes its characters—once students and professors—into roles where trust is tested and courage is measured in the face of expanding darkness. From the eerie ritual in the cemetery to the frantic chase through shadowed halls, the film maintains a steady, restrained pace that foregrounds mood and consequence over flash, delivering a haunting meditation on obsession, possession, and rescue when all hope seems suspended.
