Yup, this is a bad film, made worse because it clearly had a decent budget, films with a quarter of the budget are better. First our lead speaks as if she has just left RADA, her make-up and hair are all neatly done. The clothes she wears are all machine stitched, not to mention always clean, surprisingly difficult living on a farm in 1665.
It carries on like that throughout the film. The dialogue is appalling, so bad you wonder if a child wrote it. As for the story, well it's laughable bad. However it's the acting that is cringe worthy, Charlotte Kirk is rancid bad and is only in the role as her other-half is director Neil Marshall. If the name does ring-a-bell, Kirk is the 'actress' who had affairs with the CEO of Warner Bros and Vice-Chairman of NBCUniversal.
To think this is the same director who gave us Dog Soldiers, how times change.

This is how I feel sometimes. Even more so now that I got confirmation that quite a lot of my previews reviews have been taken of imdb. I have no idea why - and I am not sure if it is good to know (someone reported them or they just got lost). Because either way it is bad and kind of sad.
This was one of the movies that I have to re-write my review for. I will save my reviews from now on, but it won't help too much if I don't know when and which review has been taken off. Not knowing why and what brings us to the movie. Because our main character here is being accused of things ...mainly because she is a woman and because she does not want to have anything to do with another male. So you know what he is going to accuse her of ... crazy times for women back then.
The movie is well acted, while it does try to avoid cliches as much as possible. Overall this is quite decent and I might even consider giving this a 7 one of these days. Maybe after a re-watch.

This is an ok film, certainly not a 1/10! I really like Neil Marshall films, The Descent, Doomsday, Dog Soldiers, you can always feel the common directorial style.
It's not a patch on these but it's still reasonable and definitely worth a watch. Sean Pertwee as the witchfinder is terrific, let's face it he's always consistently good.
You could say this is a bit of a modern day reboot of The Witchfinder General with Vincent Price. The lead actress is pretty good, as is pretty much the whole cast. I won't say too much, just watch it and enjoy it.

Maybe it's because the majority of the cast are relatively unknown, that this film doesn't get the recognition it deserves...but this film is solid. I totally understand that we all perceive movies differently...but giving this movie a 1/10 is just bizarre!
It looks and sounds great...in fact, the score is amazing. Even the music for the closing credits is excellent! A strong female lead and a good supporting cast.
The only issue I have is that for a film set in the 1600's, sometimes the actors say things/behave in a way that's straight out of the 21st century! I won't spoil it and say what these things were, but they certainly seem out of place...and if you're really watching, you'll notice it too.
Overall I really enjoyed it. I'm not really a fan of films set in medieval times, but this and 'A Knight's Tale' are certainly mould breakers.
