Outline

Sally and Liam, a brother and sister, played by siblings Alix and Liam Matthews, run away from home to escape from their new stepmother, Rachel (Patsy Kensit), and make friends with Raglin, a troll (Mick Walter). They help him to find a magic door which will take him home to Fairyland. Once there, they need to defeat Raglin's bitter enemy the Black Witch (Jenny Agutter).[2]

Reception

A Common Sense Media review is headed "Mild scares in confusing U.K. fantasy movie"[3] and complains that

… there are mild fantasy scares along the order of a young elf constantly hissing in a menacing manner, demonic growls and laughter, and eyes made to look green and demonic through special effects.[3]

When the film was released on DVD in October 2012, The Dove Foundation was unable to recommend it, as one character "damns" another, and it also noted "Sex: Husband kisses wife on forehead."[4]
