Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

GazerRise Fantastic!

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Leofwine_draca What starts off looking like an old-fashioned witchcraft reincarnation plot sadly ends up being a run-of-the-mill slasher yarn in which teenagers are chased and stalked through woods and shower rooms by a badly-dressed killer who looks a hell of a lot like Ghostface from SCREAM, except just not as convincing unfortunately. He does kill with a steel-clawed glove, though, which is pretty cool. I was expecting a lot more, but sadly being a film made during the period in which audience taste was for all things stalk-and-slash, what can you expect? Another negative is that this is a television movie, so forget any exploitation ingredients as well.Along with the killer comes the mystery identity territory, but all this AND the witchcraft aspect makes for a too muddled - and unconvincing plot. Which is a shame, because the film looks lovely. The colours used are mainly brown and grey and there's plenty of atmosphere to be had from the wooded locations. A lot of the background shots of misty hillsides and skeletal trees are also done very professionally and effectively add to the movie's atmosphere, of which it has plenty. On top of this there's a subtle score which adds a lot to the feel of the piece.Sadly, there are also plenty of unwanted clichés rearing their ugly heads at every opportunity. From the trite - loads of self-referential jokes, which quickly become extremely annoying, to the predictable when the old "cat jumping out of a cupboard" shocker is rehashed yet again - this film has 'em all. The acting from the mainly young cast is pretty professional, so it's a shame that the majority of the characters are clichéd bitchy bimbos and thick-headed jocks who think that a witch drowning is a sign of her guilt (they're supposed to float). Sarah Chalke is, however, a convincing lead and works well with her unconventional character.The ending is dragged into over-the-top territory with a group of teenagers getting ready to burn their classmate who they suspect as a witch - no matter what may have happened, I find it hardly likely that they would be driven to these measures - before the inevitable unstoppable killer turns up for a final attack. And what is it with the town's police presence which doesn't actually show up, despite a couple of deaths and serious accidents, until the closing minutes? It's a shame that this is just a slasher yarn with extra trimmings; with the same setting and a more original, supernatural plot in future it may have been something much better. Instead all we're left with is a fun nightmare sequence of somebody being pulled into a grave by a vengeful corpse and a silly twist ending as minor elements of what could have been.

Cemetarygirl I love this movie. In fact I cannot understand why The Craft was the one that most people say turned them on to Witchcraft. As this movie rocks. It is subtle, understated and extremely well acted and played out by the beautiful and talented Ms Chalke. She plays this role extremely well and kudos to Ben Foster too, another actor with a lot of parts in front of him. A great female role where the woman is not afraid, although willing to jump a few times (and who doesn't) The story was solid, a young woman moves into a house with her mum, the home of a Witch, burned by people who don't seem to get the irony of that. (Like its good to burn people and watch them die in pain, no matter what they have done)And this leads to going to a school where the cool just happened to be the ancestors of those who had burned the Witch. No wonder they are spooked (serves them right!)A place of small town minds even in the 20th Century with loads of chips and plenty of hidden secrets, in the hearts of these 'cool' kids. This is not a movie of body counts, or of blood and gore. Its about.....well watch it and see.

whpratt1 Sarah Chalke,(Sarah Zoltanne) has to leave Sunny California for a small town in New England and start her college year among a group of trouble makers, who for some mysterious reason give poor Sarah a very hard time. Sarah and her mother are staying in a very old house that has many tales from the past which most of the town people know about; and there is a certain curse that a girl named Sarah will return to their town someday and revenge the horror this person experienced years and years ago. This is an entertaining film, but keeps going around and around in circles and it becomes very apparent who the real trouble maker or makers turn out to be. You have seen films with a story line like this many times before.

FemmeBikerFaery I saw this movie when I was eleven, and I haven't seen it since. I was absolutely scared out of my wits, now as for the acting- -well it wasn't so bad! Sarah Chalke-who had a small stint as Becky no.2 on the Roseanne show-is very pretty, and a pretty talented actress, I know that the other guy who gave a review for this totally bashed it, but I saw it on T.V one time, and it was good enough for me to go searching about it on IMDB. The Story is basically about a teen age girl named Sarah who is very pretty, but a little strange. She lives with her single parent mother, and moves to a new town where she knows no one and has no friends- -excepting some strange curly headed blond kid-played by Ben Foster from the kid's show Flash Forward ever see it on Disney?-Who has a big crush on her. She likes the hunk in town-Who I think has great eyes if nothing else-played by Christopher Campbell-who just happens to be Neve Campbell's kid brother-Now of course the hunk in town has a super snotty girlfriend who makes fun of the somewhat strange Sarah because she's prettier than she is and her boyfriend is crushing on Sarah. Anyway! There is a serious witch burning legend about a girl that lived in Sarah's house and was accused of being a witch- -thus she was burned! Then as a joke Sarah is wrangled into being the 'Psychic' and some stupid teenage party or carnival, she doesn't have to be wrangled too much seeing as how she's in love with the hunk in town. So Turns out that kid's are being killed, lot's of them, and they die of natural causes--A Heart Attack! They are being scared to death by someone dressed up in a witch's outfit! Is it the dead witch's ghost come back for revenge? Is it Sarah? Is Sarah inhabited by the dead witch's spirit?! WHO WILL DIE NEXT!? Watch this movie! It was made for T.V- -but it is a down right scare-you-to-death, make-your-hair-turn-white! MOVIE! Final words: For a T.V Made flick FIVE STARS!
