New England in 1699, a boy and a girl and a big wooden house in the woods. Beautifully shot. Butcher's Hill is a simple story, brilliantly executed, with a wonderfully bloody and unhappy ending. I loved it.

The children dare to enter the inviting empty house and in the kitchen, there's a table overflowing with delicious sugar sprinkled cakes and pastries.Hello Hansel and Gretel. There's a cauldron boiling on the kitchen fire and that witch has got to be somewhere. It's about now that the little girl discovers something like the end of a human finger in her jam pastry. Mmm.


After their father charmingly runs off with the family fortune and a man called Brian, Ben and Jenny move from Manhattan to a flyspeck town in New England with their mother, Susanne. The town is characterized by three things: a history of witchcraft and religious slaughter, a slew of missing children, and a population of freakish teens.
Local legend has it that Nathaniel Butcher, a fervid puritan, cleansed the town of witches in the eighteenth century, in a frenzied orgy of killing, murdering all the women and children. He then moved his family into the old house. One night, he gathered the twelve Puritan leaders of the community for a meeting, and they were never seen again. The story goes that whoever moves into the old house loses their children, who are never seen again.

An average fairy tale? Yes, until the moment when the leper like creature in rags bursts out to decapitate the little boy against the wall with a meat cleaver, so quickly that his eyes still seem to think he's alive as his bleeding body smears down the wall, with only a few ropes of blood and flesh to connect the two Now it's the girls turn to run. She scrambles around the kitchen and somehow makes in to the front door and outside. Where to now? Where to run? Too late. The creature in rags bursts out the house, gathers the little girl up, and drags her into the house. The door closes and the screaming continues a little. Cut to leper witch dropping a girls shoe down an empty well.
Watch for yourself
