Good but not great.

Rating: 7/10 (21 November 1999)

A beautiful film, but the script could have been better.
Tim fills the screen with what we expect from him - lush shots and great atmosphere. I loved the look of the movie, and up until the plot started to unravel it's well above average.
Unfortunately the shot in the previews of the witch lurching towards the screen foreshadows some of the negative elements which crept into this film and spoiled a lot of the atmosphere in the end.
