With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at horror fans and people who still love a bit of magic. Best watched with the lights down and someone to grab. A good follow-up to The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad or Ginger Snaps.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1898: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
He sits asleep at a bare table; old witch enters, raps three times, then disappears; cavalier sees table spread for a sumptuous repast. Mephistopheles appears; then the old witch, who suddenly changes to a beautiful young girl. The changes and magical appearances are startling and instantaneous.
