Faith's world is turned upside down when she finds out her father is dying. When the mysteriously alluring Sissy Young (Anna Walton) becomes her field hockey coach, Faith (Anna Battrick) finds a compassionate spirit and much-needed mother figure. Little does she know that Sissy is the head of a centuries-old witches' coven using the fruit of an ancient cherry tree in a secret ritual that restores life. And soon Sissy has enticed Faith into making a fateful bargain that is about to change everything. (StudioCanal UK)

The Irish production Cherry Tree is definitely impressive because it does not pull any punches and is quite hardcore. It may not be a typical trashy horror movie, although it does have that kind of depressing and oppressive atmosphere, which is accentuated by the fact that there are some disturbing kills. The unpleasant vibe gives you the feeling that something really nasty is about to happen. The ending is a little disappointing, even though the movie's flow is quite good.
