Jenny, a modern woman with modern sensibilities, moves to the small town of Devonsville. She arrived by bus.
A delicious rejection of authoritarian Christian patriarchy.
SicillianSouix proved the filmmakers and the reviewer they bashed correct. Men are too fragile and will jump through insane hoops to distance themselves from the reality of how women were and are treated by men and society. One person comments on the obvious feminist slant to this film and they give it one star without watching and talk about how they will go watch women being eaten by lions... Anyone rating a film without watching it is an idiot. Plain and simple. This movie was decent, slow at times, but had great atmosphere and is worth checking out if you like folk horror/witchy stuff and aren't afraid of a dose of reality in the realm of the treatment of women. If you're so scared by that concept that you can't watch a movie but will rate it one star anyway, then maybe society isn't for you. Stay inside and away from the rest of humanity. Something is wrong with you.
I remember I first saw this movie on Sci- fu channel in '95 when I was 16 years old, and I loved it then. I watched for the first time since then, and this movie isn't the same movie I watched then. It has not aged well at all.
The costume designer forgot to give them red baseball caps that were made in china.
