This movie was a very interesting one. It seemed to kind of follow in a way the telling of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials - with the references to John Putnam, etc. Overall, this movie had a spooky atmosphere to it. See this movie now.
I just seen this movie a few weeks ago while staying at a hotel, catching the end of it...WOW. I came home and rented it from NetFlix...awesome movie!
I love this movie, not a lot of well known actors which is great, the story line was awesome but could have been better, and SEXY eye candy!!! Gotta love boys with no shirts on lol
Some of the acting wasn't very good, but I really liked the story. I thought it was pretty good overall!
