' The basis of fairy tale is in reality. The basis of reality is in fairy tales'
I have always been interested in films about witches and hangings (slightly macabre I know!), and so I was amazed to find this barely talked about movie that had me gripped from start to finish. Having Christopher Lee in one of the roles always guarantees a good movie, and he didn't disappoint here although it was a shame that he wasn't featured more in the film especially since he is the only name to appear on the front of the disc.
A young student Nan decides, on the advice of her college professor (Lee) to go to a small and eerie town named Whitewood in her Winter break to research her term paper on Witchcraft. However when she gets there she encounters a variety of abnormal and terrifying things, and some even weirder people who inhabit the place...
The basis of this film is brilliant, very haunting and spooky,and the performances are actually very good. This was the first Amicus movie (Hammer Horror's rival)and by gum it was a memorable film. There is something about this film that will certainly get under your skin, and has mine, for I saw it a few days ago and stilll cannot stop thinking about it!
