i love the low key and surreal mood present throughout this movie . heather ( agnes bruckner ) be require to go to a boarding school during the 1960 era and by her very proper and upscale mom ( emma campbell ) . this be to help reform her after a fire start incident involve heather and an evidently irksome forest close to home . the very proper instructor at this school and behave very mysteriously ( they must know somethingpositive . the head mistress who be name miss . traverse ( patricia clarkson ) and both take an interest in heather and seem to know something of her power . heather try to do her time and but then the strange stuff start happen one student disappear and another have an accident . heather eventually realize that she have a supernatural power and that destiny have lead her here because these wood really do need a good burning . the end be both excite and re uniting .
