From director David Keating, CHERRY TREE is another drop of blood in the bucket of witch films that are on track to kick your ass. This brand new trailer shows off a sophisticated aesthetic and a damn creepy atmosphere. Witches are finally coming back from the poppy mire of properties like THE CRAFT or American Horror Story: Coven!
Not that those were bad in any way (well, I'm not sure the final three episodes of Coven are truly defensible, but still), but scary witches will always trump sassy witches in my book. Check out the video below!
In CHERRY TREE:
Faith's world is turned upside down after she finds out that her beloved father is dying. When the mysteriously alluring Sissy Young becomes her new hockey coach, Faith has no idea that Sissy is the head of a witches' coven that has resided in her home town of Orchard for centuries. Using the fruit of an ancient cherry tree in a bloody ritual, the witches can bring the dead and dying back to life, and when Sissy offers to cure Faith's father, she lures the young woman into a dangerous deal that will leave her fighting for her life.
CHERRY TREE stars Anna Walton, Naomi Battrick, Sam Hazeldine and Patrick Gibson.
