This contains a lot of Pagan humor. It is definitely not a horror movie but more of a coming-of-age movie. I think anyone expecting an occult type of horror movie will be extremely disappointed and that might be the cause of some of the bad reviews this movie gets.
There's a theme of conformity versus non-conformity in the movie that's predominant, but it's also a bit of an exploration about becoming family, both in a coven sense, and in the literal sense.
This movie might only appeal to a certain niche audience. Matthew Grey Gubler was phenomenal in this role.
I do hope people know that this is not a 100% accurate representation of all pagans though. I really kind of wish they would have left the upside down cross off his neck as it's really not a good representation of Wicca, but it helps set up some jokes later on.
I think a lot of Pagans will appreciate the aspect of religious persecution shown, often from one's own family. I really felt for his character at times, which I didn't really expect for such a light-hearted quirky comedy.
I liked it enough to buy it. I'll watch it again. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Pagan humor.
