creepy little Mexican film, 8 August 2006
8/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

Flavia and Victoria are two young school girls thrown together by fate. Flavia is new to the school and Victoria is an outcast, in that all her classmates make fun of her because she claims to be a witch. Victoria takes Flavia under her wing and convinces her that she can do evil things and even manages to take out Flavia's piano teacher, so how's that for proof? When Flavia's parents are set to take her away on holiday they're convinced to take Victoria along too and there the two girls set about collecting the various things needed to make poison for the fairies, which are, of course, the witch's natural enemy. This is a little slow-moving at times but well worth it if you stick with it, and has a twist ending you won't see coming. Overall it's fairly creepy and will keep your interest. Has some elements of "Don't Deliver Us From Evil" and "The Bad Seed" thrown in, but otherwise is fairly original and interesting. 8 out of 10.
