Possible spoilers throughout
I'm not sure if I liked this movie or not. The premise was good. The acting was good. The special effects were excellent. Because I know several pagans, I can say that the magick aspect of it was fairly accurate (more accurate than most of the "witch movies" out there now, and, as a ghost hunter, the banishing was really well done.)
Having said all that, I still can't pinpoint what I really didn't like about it. It's like the movie couldn't make up it's mind if it wanted to be a comedy or a drama; a modern fairy tale or a true to life tale.
The end came too quick and the answer to the problem seemed too pat and too easy. I didn't buy it. The townspeople changed their minds too easily. You don't get over 300 years of prejudice overnight.
It was enjoyable, but not my favorite movie.
