User Reviews

good.

This was a good little television feature, which I viewed last night. As a film generally this wasn't so great, however, as a made-for-television film it was actually quite top-notch. Some characters tended to suffer from becoming stereotyped, and often acting in supporting/extra roles was quite dull, much to be expected from a Television film. It was enjoyable to watch, however, as it was quite well paced and captured my attention for the duration of the film. I found the religious theme perhaps became an oxymoron; the young girl seemingly turning to Christianity while embracing her more "wiccan" psychic visions and mother. Perhaps a little more thought towards aspects of believability would have made this film better, along with better directing.
