The Shining meets Hansel & Grettle?

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2016)

Loved this authentic set & 1630 old English. Banished from the security of the settlers fort, this family of 7 becomes 6 when babby Samuel is snatched in broad daylight right in front of the eldest daughter Tomasins's watchful eye. Obviously, mom spends this tale in deep, deep mourning while blaming Tomasin's sins for losing Samuel.was it the Witch? If so which witch? Father, the strong lead, tries to hold it all together ever faithful their misfortunes are God's plans. Now the Witch shows up as a rabbit. Later Caleb is lured to the Witches coven where she appears as a beautiful woman, perfect for a young curious prepubescent lad. He returns back to their home buck naked. The two twins, unlike in The Shining, speak & play throughout the movie & provide comic relief. Caleb appears to be possessed as the whole family prays over him for a sort of an exorcism -it fails (that's #2 child lost). Tomassin is again scape goated into leaving home, after all she's just bad luck. Tomasin points out Father can't hunt nr dance & mother wears the pants in the family. Not that Tomasin is an angel -this girl can spin a yarn! Watch this movie to the end!
