A bit of historical film, a bit of mystery, a bit of fairy tale, a bit of folk horror. All very authentic and realised to a high standard, but always a little unwieldy.
America in the 18th century, settlers, an influential church, superstition, Indians, witches, ghosts and demons.
Starts slowly, picks up more and more speed. From the halfway point onwards there are some really impressive images and great effects.
It's not going to be my favourite film, it rarely happens with films with this subject matter and set in this period, but I still take my hat off to this interesting and rather unknown gem.
