The acting was pretty good, but the storyline was not! There was potential for this movie to be good, but the trees that were witches wrapping the girls up in their sleep with their vines and branches was just TOO off the wall for me. Moved pretty slow too.

Since my husband and I watch a movie almost every night (yes, we have no lives), I thought from now on I'd include his thoughts as well. Wife (me): While I thought this movie started out well enough and I liked the premise as well as the setting,the story never really went anywhere. I really liked Patricia Clarkson in "Pieces of April," so I was expecting a bit more. Not a very good movie and I would not recommend it to my family or friends. There are too many movies of this genre to waste any time or money on this. It went downhill really fast in the last thirty minutes. I give it two stars. Husband: I made fun of the movie the entire time it was on (yawn sound effects, rolling my eyes,etc.). The whole "girl's school" thing sounded "interesting" to me, but ten minutes into it I was asking my wife how, with thousands of movies to choose from, does she manage to find these "gems." No, no, a thousand times no!! One star, men will hate this movie.

I actually thought this movie was really good. It kept my attention most of the time. It's not the best horror movie out there but it keeps you wondering what is going on the whole time. Plus the main girl in the movie is not to bad looking either.
