The film re-unites Roeg with Donald Sutherland although his role is relatively minor, and Miranda Richardson surpasses herself as an unhinged, tormented soul who craves a fourth child.

Despite some dark themes and darker deeds, humour abounds and Roeg watchers will spot numerous in-jokes and allusions to other works.

There are some uncomfortably tense and gruesome scenes including one nightmarish flight of fancy which almost rivals the climax of ‘Don’t Look Now’ for nerve-shredding tension. :)

As always with Roeg, there are some startling and provocative visual surprises.

Kelly Reily plays a young architect who arrives in a beautiful but remote backwater of Ireland with a dream – to build a spectacular home upon the deserted ruins of a burnt-out cottage.

The cottage carries its own dark, secret history, and when Reilly falls pregnant, the envy of the superstitious, witchcraft-practising locals is aroused and old enmities are stirred.

have fun! ;) magic
