With: Dakota Blue Richards, Juliet Stevenson, Ioan Grufford, Natascha McElhone, Tim Curry
Plot: Young Maria (Richards) moves in with her strange uncle (Grufford) after the death of her father, and is embroiled in a centruies-long family feud that will cause the world to end (or something) if it isn't resolved.

A boring fantasy without much actual fantasy until near the end. I really can't remember much of it now (got through it in several 15-20 min viewings) apart from cringeworthy humour and better-than-you'd-expect performances. Despite being pretty wooden and indifferent, Richards remains strangely compelling. Not awful, but strictly for the under 10s.
