The Witch in the Window
Scary Movies XI
August 17 - 23, 2018
A divorced dad takes his 12-year-old son to the farmhouse he’s purchased to flip in middle-of-nowhere Vermont. It was cheap—and for a reason: an old witch haunts the premises, and she has no interest in sharing her home.
Q&A with Andy Mitton and actors Alex Draper and Charlie Tacker
A divorced dad (Alex Draper) takes his 12-year-old son (Charlie Tacker) to the farmhouse he’s purchased to flip in middle-of-nowhere Vermont. It was cheap—and for a reason: there is an old witch, Lydia (Carol Stanzione), haunting the premises, mainly planted in a chair by an upstairs window. At first her presence seems harmless enough, but as the renovations continue, it becomes more apparent that she, the previous owner, has no interest in sharing her home. As in the two prior features he co-directed, YellowBrickRoad and We Go On, Andy Mitton’s solo directorial debut proves that big scares can come in small packages, and his latest refreshingly character-driven film, which sees a father desperately trying to protect a child he wants to reconnect with and the house he has always fantasized about, has way more on its mind than it initially lets on. A Shudder release. U.S. Premiere
