Spending the last days of her sentence jail, Vivan Miller, a young girl has been sent to the Cawdor Barn Theater, where she has watched an old movie of Macbeth, the thing that brings terrible for her and challenges her, as a supernatural creature has been brought that follows her and tries to get rid of her.
We will always forgive low budget horror for below par effects, score and even acting if we are presented with an engaging or intelligent plot, but unfortunately this film offers neither.
Protagonist Vivian (Shelby Young) may evoke memories of Natalie Portman in Black Swan or Suspirias Jessica harper. But shes a comparatively underwritten character, failing to convince as a trauma victim.
Though never outright dull, "A Haunting in Cawdor" manages to provide few incidents of genuine interest while leaving potentially rewarding character and thematic elements unexplored.
