I'm not sure who the target demographic *was* for this movie. It is far, far too dark and scary for me to comfortably recommend to children, and it treads very familiar ground for anyone who watches any horror movies at all. Person with special powers has to stop a curse by appeasing a dead spirit, yadda yadda. No real surprises, except for some really beautiful animated visuals in, of all scenes, the one where the witch is furiously destroying everything around Norman. That is stunning to watch and would have been even more stunning on the big screen. The movie's not bad, it's just a very run-of-the-mill horror movie that happens to be animated (and a little bit preachier than normal). 2.5 stars.
Flickchart: #1035 out of 1858, below Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and above No Country for Old Men.
