Verdict on The Evil Fairy Queen
The Evil Fairy Queen is a fantasy horror movie following a family who believe they have moved into a dream home. However, they learn that somebody has been planning for their visit and wants to take advantage of them being there. All in a battle against evil fairies who need more from the humans who visit their world.
This fantasy movie shows a darker side to a world of fairies. It has the same feeling as ‘Unwelcome’ when a family moves into a home which has a set of visitors who want more from them. This uses the evil presence to keep the family needing to overcome something they never believed. There is also the issue of a family dealing with their personal loss, which is often used for the supernatural to get closer. The movie does have low-budget effects, which could turn people off, but if you are used to this style, you should enjoy this movie enough.
