A young arsonist is tossed into a prestigious all girls boarding school for "gifted" children and immediately starts to realize that the teachers might be witches using the student body for their own nefarious rituals.
The Woods appears to have a decent budget and the cast is wonderful, but the script feels a few drafts away from memorable and the tone switches from serious to semi-comic a bit too often to take anything that's happening on screen seriously. It also sticks us with a lead character who comes across as too sour and surly to ever get on her side and root for her.
