Gédéon, the Count of Niedeck's gamekeeper, visits Dr. François to invite him to the chateau. He explains that his master has suddenly gone mad during a change of moon. En route, the two men meet a strange old woman who lives in the woods. Gédéon explains to the doctor that whenever this woman prowls around, the Count is plagued by dementia. Once there, the doctor treats the Count and calms him down. The Count has a daughter, Odile, whom he clearly hates. One evening, a mysterious traveler arrives.

A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.
This movie is based on the LEGO Disney Princess building set.
The sequel to the 2021 remake of the same name continues from where we last left off in this spooky adventure.
“It's not ghosts. It's not supernatural. It's... It's America. And it's everywhere.”
A family drama is woven with quiet yet powerful forces of words and nature.
Hokum is an enjoyable horror film that will probably get a little under your skin, but it isn’t the tour de force that you might be expecting.
