The Witch in the Window
Directed by Andy Mitton
Simon and his estranged twelve-year-old son, Finn, head to Vermont to repair an old farmhouse - and hopefully, their relationship. But shortly after arriving, they learn of the previous owner, an infamously cruel woman named Lydia who may have never left. And as Simon makes repairs, he's also making Lydia's spirit stronger... until a terrifying encounter leaves him doubting whether he can protect his son from the evil that's making its way into their heads, and hearts. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.
A father and son fix up a home with a very dark past.
Cast: Alex Draper, Charlie Tacker, Carol Stanzione

Terrible, absolutely terrible. 40 minutes in, and I gave up. Lifeless acting and dialogue, a very annoying kid character, and a really slow and boring pace makes The Witch in the Window such a massive chore to get through. The dad wasn't too bad, and the film looks competently shot, but it's not enough to save this movie. MASSIVE thumbs-down👎🏼 1/10
Why does spooky stuff always happen in the Northeast?
Very good low budget
Beautifully atmospheric, slow built story with great characters. Fantastic directing with amazing subtlety with very good cinematography. Highly recommend this one!
a solid movie. It builds tension well, and the father and son are a joy to watch. They really build a sense of tension as you really don't want anything to happen to them. where the movie failed to deliver was the big bad. the witch in the window fails to be scary in any meaningful way, and in turn, the ending falls flat. still worth a watch because it doesn't overstay its welcome.
