william k Strange, quite uneven, but interesting horror drama, based on a true story, never quite knows what it wants to tell not unlike its apprentice's inability to perceive reality; Donald Sutherland is always worth the watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The cover jacket is really awful and not at all representative of this rather good supernatural thriller, based in a sleepy Dutch town (Pennsylvania,1928). The story concerns an eccentric, pow-wow preacher, who plots to murder an evil hermit with the aid of his young apprentice. The whole episode is quite enthralling and actually based on a true story but if you need any further excuse to watch this, then it also stars the lovely Mia Sara and an animated performance by Donald Sutherland. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
