When paranormal investigator/occult enthusiast Ted (Joe Walz) goes on a
date with Charlotte (Deanna Meske), he hires young Amber (Elyse Dufour) to
babysit his son Kevin (Jack Champion) and Charlotte's son Ronnie (Bailey
Campbell), both lively kids around ten years of age. Now Amber looks nice
and responsible enough, so Ted doesn't even care that she doesn't have any
recommendations or the like, and at first everything seems fine even. Sure
when her wannabe boyfriend (J. Benedict Larmore) shows up, things get a
bit weird, but that's more his fault than hers. But Amber does indeed have
an ulterior motive, she actually wants to ransack Ted's place, that's said
to be full of priceless artifacts, and for that she has called her
accomplice Rod (Jermaine Rivers) and his girlfriend Lindsey (Amber
Neukum). However, what Amber and company don't know is that Kevin and
Ronnie have since found the Book of the Three Mothers among Ted's
belongings, and somehow summoned the Three Mothers, witches who are really
into dishing out gory deaths. Enter neighbour Vincent (Ben Barlow), who
seems to be the only one who knows how to fight the witches - but it's
doubtful whether he's of real assistance of doesn't unintentionally make
things even worse ... Ok, despite the inclusion of the
"Three Mothers", this movie is hardly Suspiria
- and it doesn't for one minute claim to be, instead it's a fun little
romp that sure delivers its goods in terms of gory deaths, but is also
very light-footed, even humourous in approach, so as to present the viewer
with more than people running and dying. And of course it also helps that
the characters are all fleshed out, and some care was put into the set-up
to make it not sound like every other film of the genre. Plus, of course,
a solid cast who seem to be in on the joke also help making this one fun
movie.
