Do you remember having a favorite tree growing up? Maybe you shared your first kiss underneath its leafy branches, rested against its gnarled bark while reading your favorite paperbacks, or even used it as the safe spot in games of base tag with your friends. Well, the titular timber in Curse of the Witching Tree isn’t that type of tree, and in his feature film directing debut, James Crow effectively shows its horrifying historical roots.

Siblings Emma and Jake Thorson weren’t thrilled about moving to St. Jonas farm in the first place, but they find more to fear than feeding the pigs when the spirits of nine slain children begin to pop up on the grounds. Unfortunately for the teenager and her younger brother, their mom isn’t buying into their supernatural theories—she’s understandably preoccupied with the condition of her husband, who’s been in a...

Trees provide shade, shelter, and sunny summer day memories for children who play among them, but one tree's gnarled bark and leafy branches harbor sinister intentions for a boy and his family in James Crow's Curse of the Witching Tree, which hits home media this May and is teased in a new trailer.

Synopsis: "An innocent woman, accused of murdering her son and hanged as a witch, curses a tree and the children who play around it. The effects of this act of revenge echo through the years and centuries, and restless spirits haunt the house where the bodies of the cursed children have been buried. A family move into their new home, and begin to uncover the terrible truth behind The Witching Tree and the murdered children upon which they unknowingly sleep..."

Stars: Jamie Blackley, Sean Teale , Michael Smiley, Danielle Bux | Written and Directed by Justin Edgar

Review by Andrew MacArthur of Cinehouse

Justin Edgar’s We Are the Freaks sets out to challenge the conventions of the traditional teen-comedy, and it mostly does so with a cheeky sense of humour and fond nostalgia for the nineties.

We Are the Freaks follows working class Jack (Blackley) who dreams of going to university yet struggles to get funding. Jack’s best-friend Chunks (Teale) who dubs himself a “textbook underachiever” suggests a night-out that begins with gate crashing a party.

The setting of the early 1990s provides an exciting twist on the traditional teen comedy, allowing Edgar to pack his film with a soundtrack including the likes of New Order and The Happy Mondays which certainly adds a distinct and likeable character to the film. This era also means that Edgar can pack his...

Missing Andy opened tonight’s Must Be The Music final show….live from Wembley Arena!

The band opted to sing their anthem ‘We’re Made In England’, the song which won the massive praise from Sharleen, Jamie and Dizzee after their original audition.

The British band have previously performed alongside the Pigeon Detectives and The Wombats at South by Southwest Festival in Texas after R.E.M pulled out. We’re Made In England is a song that we have found ourselves singing ever since we first saw Ma on Sky 1 last month, so we were delighted that they returned with it tonight.As they sang and chanted, we couldn’t help thinking that this may have been a better World Cup song than Dizzee Rascal and James Corden’s effort….

An X Factor insider said: “This was like waving a red flag in front of a bull for Simon. He’s a perfectionist, he wants to be the best and he hates to lose.”

A Strictly source said: “Getting Robbie and Gary on is just the start of an incredible series we’ve got planned.

Five piece group Missing Andy performed on tonight’s Must Be The Music semi final.

The British band have previously performed alongside the Pigeon Detectives and The Wombats at South by Southwest Festival in Texas after R.E.M pulled out.

‘Sometimes a band only have one big song’

We didn’t like the song as much as Made In England but thankfully the judges did. Check out their opinions below.

Judges Comments:

Jamie: I was worried how you would follow up Made In England but Im pleased to say that you guys write anthems and that’s another one you’ve written.
