Cory's (Cradeaux Alexander) dad has died only recently, and one can't
say Cory's particularly unhappy about this, after all he has been
estranged from his death for years, and now it appears the old man has
left him everything - which is quite a lot. What does annoy Cory though is
that for the wake and the actual reading of the will, he has to meet up
with his half brother Rex (Rohan Quine), his half sister Fiona (Heather
Cairns) and his stepmother Pamela (Imogen Smith), none of whom he holds in
particularly high regard. Plus, facing his family brings up some dark
family secrets, like what the heck has happened to his twin sister Jessie
(Maddie Crofts), who pretty much disappeared from one day to the next.
Thing is, however dark the secrets are, their answers are even darker, and
they have to do with Pamela being a witch and Rex her faithful helper -
and the two will stop at nothing to make Cory's inheritance theirs,
especially if it involves human sacrifice ...
A very nice piece of witchcraft cinema, especially because it
has a solid set-up that doesn't rely on genre tropes but puts its
characters center stage, really putting its dark magic elements in the
back seat until the rather exciting third act. And thanks to a directorial
effort that stays subtle until letting things loose in the finale, elegant
camerawork that gets the most out of its locations, and a strong and
relatable cast, the whole thing comes alive rather nicely and makes for
cool genre entertainment.
