Rated PG-13
Starring Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert, Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson
Directed by Richard LaGravenese
The Story:
Ethan (Ehrenreich) wants to graduate and leave South Carolina as soon as possible. (Dude, I can totally relate...) But then one day, Lena (Englert) arrives at school, and she is the woman that has been haunting his dreams. It turns out that she is the granddaughter of Macon Ravenwood (Irons) and all the townsfolk are abuzz because legend has it that he Ravenwoods are devil worshippers. In actuality, it turns out that Lena is a witch. But is she going to be a good witch, or a bad witch?
I don't know.
I didn't make it past the 20 minute mark.
:)
I gave it a chance, but the movie was just dragging along like an anchor.
I had seen the trailer, and had a rough idea what I was getting into when I moved this one to the top of the queue.
But the fascinating struggle of darkness and light was never revealed before I got bored with the film.
Nope, not even the almost always watchable Jeremy Irons could save this one as Mr. Ravenwood.

Heck, I'm not even sure when Emma Thompson showed up, I was long gone by then.
So does Lena turn good or evil?
I don't know, and quite frankly, I don't care.
Based off of the book by the same name, if it is a series of books, I will not be returning for any subsequent sequels.
Final Grade: D-
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: And we have our first contender for 2014 Turkey of the Year right here!
