Slow burn horror that demands attention
22 May 2015 | by See all my reviews

We bought this as a Friday night pizza and beer type film designed to be cheap fun. Instead we got a surprisingly high quality chiller. The Curse of the Witching Tree is a slow burn horror that's clearly meant to suck you in.

Avoiding the standard gore fest style of things like Saw and Hostel this instead goes for a chilling, atmospheric approach more akin to The Others. There are no big budget special effects, instead you are drawn into a family in turmoil, their tension building as yours does, when they try to draw the line between the everyday horrors of life and the supernatural ones that are unwittingly unleashed.

It is a low budget film, hence the price, but it's much more than just a shlock horror. Instead you have a decent story, decent acting, decent shots – all in all a good looking film that well deserves a watch.
