“She Will” (*1/2 out of four) was pretentious mumbo-jumbo about an aging film star (Alice Krige in a one-note performance) who retreats to the Scottish countryside to recover from surgery but soon finds that strange occurrences start affecting her and some of the community (Malcolm McDowell, Rupert Everett, and others) which may be the hauntings of ancient Scottish witches who were burned at the stake. Good cast and visual style from director Charlotte Colbert and cinematographer Jamie Ramsay are wasted on a story that’s plodding and hokey without much payoff. Some critics and horror fans thought highly of this but I’m not one of them.
