This is the opposite of Psycho. What I mean by that, is that the mom of a child keeps 'said' daughter in secret room, all deceased and no place to go. Auntie Roo is a creepy woman. Mrs. Claus with a dark side. The eccentric 50ish woman , obviously of money, that does neighborhood deeds. One of the traditions is staging a Xmas for local orphans. The parallel story to Hansel and Gretel was unnecessary for my taste. No explanation of what became of 'magician' husband. No explanation of how Katy died. Too many loose ends. What we are left with is 2 kidnapped orphans from the gathering. A suspicious, Danny Radcliffe lookalike aka Harry Potter , without the glasses and an innocent , naive young girl that resembles Roos deceased daughter.Two siblings ultimately fighting off , warped Roos kidnapping . In a nutshell, This movie has many holes in it. Fine acting all around. Just a so so flick to fill the time . Watch it as a CULTISH movie and you wont go wrong.
