...that the new flick doesn't embellish the legend of Ellie Kedward/The Witch.
I appreciate that the filmmakers didn't turn the whole mythos upside down, but I would have liked them to take the legend a little further. Show us something significant or even just cool about the roots of the tale.
Other than that, I had a great time watching it and will be going back on Tuesday for another look. Glad you enjoyed it, horcrux!

Honestly, the more I think about the movie, the more I enjoyed it. The ONE TINY THING I was disappointed in was that we never saw the original trio. Of course, they were probably dead, but I was hoping maybe to see their bodies or something. What I loved was the time travel. Some thought it was cheesy, but I loved it. When Lane came back and said "we've been lost for 5 days," that really creeped me out. I was also scared shitless when Lane appeared in the house and had been there for months, possibly years, with his beard and dirt and everything.
