Not a bad film at all...sort of Southern gothic romance between a gee shucks southern boy (who reads the odd bit of Vonnegut and Bukowski) and a witchipoo from the family that owns the town. All the witches seem to be either heaving bosomed vamps or OTT bouff-haired pantomime dames (unless they're vampiresque gents). They tried to keep them apart but true love and all that. A coming of age / shall I choose thelight or the dark kinda thing. Lots of thunder and lightning. Woulda liked a bit more witchery.
