Never even heard of this one, Paul – but the trailer makes it look…interesting.
I’ve been canvassing a variety of views on this film, because I found it stunningly boring and want to know what exactly people see in it.
For a brief but more academic overview of this film and of cinematic witchiness in general, check out this fine article (by a friend of mine, full disclosure):

Finding this movie “boring”, or “stunningly boring”, is evidence that you might have bad taste! This movie is wonderful, and the ending is legitimately feel-good (or “uplifting”, as Paul said). Hail Satan!
