Kind of a Merchant-Ivory take on a horror story, supposedly, but by about the two-thirds point, there wasn’t any horror, and in fact hardly more than a few minutes worth of plot, and I turned it off. They live outside of town, they’re accused of being witches the townspeople hate them, but nothing seems to really happen beyond them getting nasty looks. Taissa Farmiga is better than this. Crispin Glover, however, is not, and it’s nice to see him take on a character that requires quietness and dignity for once… he makes a surprisingly good dad of the estate.
