All the child actors feel like real kids and believably react to the horror. Plus, Merivoo wrote characters that are easy to root for, so the stakes are felt throughout. There’s also an amusing line or ridiculous situation just around the corner, so even when one joke falls flat, there is one right behind it that will tickle one’s fancy. While this does lessen the horrific implications of the kratt’s existence and its endgame, this irreverent tone also means the film is anything but dull. The jokes are often very over-the-top and quite slapstick in nature. Kratt is patently absurd in just about every way imaginable. “… the children get their hands on a spellbook and… the kratt wreaks havoc…” But as the kratt wreaks havoc, everyone finds themselves in peril. This coincides with several activists attempting to protect the sacred forest, much to the constant chagrin of the Governor (Ivo Uukkivi).
At first, they use it to get various jobs done around the farm, but things soon spiral out of control. Things take a turn towards horror after the children get their hands on a spellbook and bring a kratt to life. While the kids are helpful, this isn’t exactly their idea of a fun time, though their new friends Juuli (Elise Tekko) and August (Roland Treima) ease the dullness a bit. Grandma (Mari Lill) takes their phones away and has them doing chores around her little farm.
#FARM MASTER SPELL BOOK FILM MOVIE#
The movie begins with Mia (Nora Merivoo) and Kevin (Harri Merivoo) being dropped off at their Grandma’s place as their parents head out on a retreat of sorts. This creature is at the heart of the family-centric horror-comedy Kratt, written and directed by Rasmus Merivoo. With its ability to fly, it can do just about anything, but be warned, if a kratt is not constantly working, it will turn on and kill its master. In Alyssa Palombo's The Spellbook of Katrina Van Tassel nothing is as it seems, and love is a thing even death won't erase.FANTASIA FEST 2021 REVIEW! A kratt, stemming from Estonian folklore, is a creature formed from old objects laying about the house, that when awoken by three drops of blood sacrificed to the devil, does the bidding of its master. What they find forces Katrina to question everything she once knew, and to wonder if the Headless Horseman is perhaps more than just a story after all. That is, until All Hallows’s Eve, when Ichabod suddenly disappears, leaving Katrina alone and in a perilous position.Įnlisting the help of her friend – and rumored witch – Charlotte Jansen, Katrina seeks the truth of Ichabod Crane’s disappearance, investigating the forest around Sleepy Hollow using unconventional – often magical – means. Ichabod knows that as an itinerant schoolteacher of little social standing, he has nothing to offer the wealthy Katrina – unlike her childhood friend-turned-enemy, Brom Van Brunt, who is the suitor Katrina’s father favors.īut when romance gives way to passion, Ichabod and Katrina embark on a secret love affair, sneaking away into the woods after dark to be together – all while praying they do not catch sight of Sleepy Hollow’s legendary Headless Horseman. Through their shared love of books and music, they form a friendship that quickly develops into romance. When Ichabod Crane arrives in the spooky little village of Sleepy Hollow as the new schoolmaster, Katrina Van Tassel is instantly drawn to him.
