English Technically, it’s perfect, on par with a feature film. The make-up of the witch is wonderfully creepy (I can't think of a better portrayal of a witch – it begs for its own feature film), and it has that magical prison vibe. Too bad the finale had to be left to the viewer's imagination, otherwise a big thumbs up. 8/10. ()
