Old Spooky Dolls of Appalachia

3 stars

This is a nice adaptation of a novel, which in itself is an adaptation of many stories and folklore of Appalachia. It is, in some sense, a pretty standard affair: family moves from big city to the countryside, and then spooky things happen to them because they don't know not to go into the woods. It's not particularly spooky or complex for adults, so works pretty well on the younger audience it's intended for.
