Im not saying this film is a terrible one,& should avoid.Being I enjoy Film Genres(&sub-Genres that are made,too)such as Horror,Sci- Fi,Thrillers,&even have become also a fan of FFF/Found Footage Films,etc.Although TBH/To Be Honest,it is a movie that I would honestly say is more or less,predictable-like many movies are.But I would at least recommend watching it if your in the mood to,or are merely hoping to pass the time w/a movie that isn't half-bad.Ona Sidenote-I do have to say that I've become rather frustrated that there has become a point that there are So MANY films made by various&likely"self thought"of,maybe even"self taught"as well,when it comes to"Film- Makers"w/the films released or being made.&are worse than the traditional yet tolerably watchable B-/B-Minus type of movies!Yet Altogether this is a decent film,that is decently enjoyable for its length,quality,even though it has actors I've never seen before-but IMHO+TBH,it makes for being more of the traditional B- Movie!! :)

Do not watch/review this film if you do not appreciate the Horror genre. An individual who prides themselves in their "knowledge of films and techniques" will most likely find this piece unbearable. Like a sports journalist's commentary on a fashion show, they will be out of their area of comfort.With that said, I found myself more emotionally invested in this film than I'd care to admit. The narrative between the family's real world drama, mirrored in the horror that takes place on the farm, is done smoothly and effortlessly. The character development and rising action were done well, but the climax was tepid, at most.The climax would have been more engaging had the witch been more cryptic in appearance and less "Sports Illustrated Model," but I believe there's reason behind that. Although the things that were done by the witch were monstrous, she is still an innocent victim who lost everything for the gains of a few men.It is rare to find an independent Horror film that not only delivers the scare, but does so with the narrative so methodically laid out. Give this film a watch if you're into the dark, creepy, and unknown.

Don't get me wrong, i'm British and i like nothing more than watching a home-grown movie. But this... I don't know where to start, the acting is like watching a school play, over exaggerated movements which are comical, the dialogue is stilted and amateur. Some members of the cast are supposed to be school children and plainly look about 25, it's insulting and unbelievable. Technically it's.... well i don't know, it's..... not technical at all. The dialogue is all captured using ambient microphones, you can barely hear the dialogue in places due to traffic, bird song or the wind. The whole thing is shot in what appears to be a lovely country house but whomever actually owns it (probably one of the producers, director or 'mate of') has obviously blown all their money purchasing or renting the property because inside the refurbishment is as poor as the acting. Who the hell would spend 3 million on a house and then put a 'Beko' fridge in it? The floor coverings, doors, door frames and skirting boards are straight out of a 90's new build house and not fitting at all with the period of the house. All in all i'd say the first 1,000 people who rated this movie are friends and family of the people who worked on it, certainly not the people who worked on it themselves because i doubt that would amount to more than 35 including the cast. What Budget? What script? What lighting? what score? What sound engineer?It's like something produced by First year Bradford film School students, and that's an insult to Bradford Film School students as to date, they've not produced anything this appalling to my knowledge

If you enjoy slow British haunted house movies, like I do, then this is a cool little film. Very ambitious. But I can't recommend it to civilians without qualifying it as a slow paced British manor horror. Spooky cinematography and sound design which works at times, and is effective at building a tone. The story isn't so great but they rarely are. Its a decent movie for watching at night, in the dark when its raining. The acting is better than average. Like I said, its ambitious, you can tell the filmmakers were ambitious. THis isn't a mailed in Low Budget SyFy style picture. This movie tries to be a real film. I don't know anything about the production, I rented the DVD from Redbox based on the title and cover art. There have been a few movies kinda like Witching Tree that I have seen over the past year or two. The Woman In Black and the sequel, I guess, and I just saw a movie on Netflix called Altar. I liked all of them. If you don't like those you probably wont like Witching Tree
