Cherry Tree
Directed by David Keating
A 15-year-old virgin makes a pact with a witches’ coven in order to save her father’s life in David Keating’s follow-up to Shudder favorite WAKE WOOD. After learning dad’s leukemia has advanced, Faith is stunned when her teacher approaches her with a devilish deal. If Faith gets pregnant and hands the baby over for a sacrifice, the sorceress will heal poor papa. But there’s always a catch, and when Faith realizes what she’s actually agreed to, the sweet deal goes sour very fast. Viewers with chilopodophobia (fear of centipedes), should skip to the next title. Trust us.

I just lost 86 minutes of my time I will never get back! This film was poor and lacklustre. It is lucky I gave it two skulls.
This was great, folk tales & normal people, gore & comedy. Kept me entertained throughout the film. Love the characters & actors. Will definitely watch again 🥳
It was ok and the storyline was good but some of it for me didn’t make a lot of sense. Overall it was entertaining and the moral of the story is to never make a deal with witches 🧙:female_sign:
watch if you like this kind of thing. 3.5 skulls. I liked the end, shrug.
Right. This really isn’t a review more a personal (unasked for) critique. There was somethings I think were really good about this film, but it didn’t deliver. I hate to sound patronising (especially as I have never made a film myself) but I would really like to have a conversation with the makers. I thought the score was really jarring. Not bad, but didn’t fit this film. I thought the majority of the acting was ok. One thing that really bothered me was the lack of texture on THAT make up look. I think it was a little rushed to finish.
