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 ... <p> <p>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. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2024"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
