Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale has been building buzz since it premiered on AMC+ and Sundance in early January.
As we approach the final episodes of Santctuary's first season, fans are brimming with curiosity about what the future holds for the remarkably relatable coven at the center of this unique show.
The series' blend of fantasy and realism is a risk that's paid dividends, bringing a bracingly human element to a story in which ancient magic collides head-on with the modern world.
We had the chance to speak with three of the stars who have assisted showrunner Debbie Horsfield in pulling off the impressive balancing act (you might even call it a magic trick) that is Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale.
Check out our conversation with Amy De Bruhn, Stephanie Levi-John, and Hazel Doupe, followed by an exclusive clip from this week's all-new episode.

While its title and its availability on AMC+ (in addition to Sundance Now) might suggest otherwise, Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale is less akin to Interview With the Vampire or Mayfair Witches than to crime dramas like Big Little Lies or Mare of Easttown — albeit with less prestige gloss and more janky CG. Though that comparison doesn’t feel quite right, either.
What’s most memorable about the series is neither its supernatural elements, which are only vaguely explained, nor even really its central murder mystery. It’s the clear and unsparing portrait of its villain, a woman who weaponizes her genuine grief over the death of her son into a literal witch hunt, with shocking and horrifying results.
Upon first glance, Sanctuary looks every inch the Edenic retreat suggested by its name, a cluster of picturesque homes nestled amid rolling green hills. During a picnic for new neighbors, Sarah (Elaine Cassidy...

Dramatizing the tough road toward reconciliation that four Irish women embark on during a pilgrimage to Lourdes, France, The Miracle Club seeks nothing more than to be easily digestible. Between the vibrantly colored costume pieces and the sweeping aerial shots of the Irish and French countrysides, the film tries quite hard to keep its story in the placid realm of the feel-good. Yet those elements belie an extremely dark and tragic center, which the filmmakers are far too keen to wash their hands of almost as soon as it’s revealed.
Set in 1967, Thaddeus O’Sullivan’s film begins in Ballygar, a working-class seaside neighborhood in the outskirts of Dublin that’s reliant on the guidance of Father Dermot Byrne (Mark O’Halloran), whose church is something of a community center. Chrissie (Laura Linney) is returning to the area for her mother’s funeral, some 40 years after leaving Ballygar for Boston, and...

Lionsgate UK has launched the trailer for the life-affirming movie ‘The Miracle Club.’
Set in 1967, the film follows the story of three generations of close friends, Lily (Maggie Smith), Eileen (Kathy Bates), and Dolly (Agnes O’Casey) of Ballygar, a hard-knocks community in Dublin, who have one tantalizing dream: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes, that place of miracles that draws millions of visitors each year.
When the chance to win presents itself, the women seize it. However, just before their trip, their old friend Chrissie (Laura Linney) arrives in Ballygar for her Mother’s funeral, dampening their good mood and well-laid plans. The women secure tickets and set out on the journey that they hope will change their lives, with Chrissie joining in place of her mother.

Genndy Tartakovsky’s work brilliantly reinforces the mantra of “less is more.” Samurai Jack uses the trials of a time-traveling samurai to create an aura of loneliness and desperation, while Primal explores the unexpectedly moving friendship between a dinosaur and a caveman. More broadly, Tartakovsky’s focused ambition lends itself well to the at once mythic and intimate odysseys that he takes viewers on.
Tartakovsky’s new animated series, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal, centers on a group of magical beings—sorceress Melinda (Hazel Doupe), cosmic monk Seng (Demari Hunte), warrior elf Eldrid (Tom Milligan), and steam-powered robot Copernicus—tasked with fending off a monstrous evil through the ages, which means that they’ll need physical hosts to travel through time. So begins a dogged battle, with host body after host body thrown at an ageless villain that doesn’t require flesh to wreak havoc. Oh, and there’s one other complication: This time,...

His new “Unicorn Warriors: Eternal” steampunk series premieres May 4 on Adult Swim; he’s completing his R-rated dog comedy “Fixed” for release next year at Sony Pictures Animation; and he’s prepping for Season 3 of his Emmy-winning “Primal” series at Adult Swim, but departing from the prehistoric world.
With “Unicorn Warriors,” though, Tartakovsky combines his personal steampunk aesthetic with action and humor, going back to his old Cartoon Network days, but without the gore of “Primal” or “Samurai Jack.” It’s about three heroes — powerful sorceress Melinda (Hazel Doupe), cosmic monk Seng (Demari Hunte), and warrior elf Edred (Tom Milligan) — reawakened through eternity as teenagers to fight a mysterious supernatural force threatening humanity. In the first season, the three find themselves in industrial London, joined by a steam-powered robot, Copernicus.

Genndy Tartakovsky is responsible for creating cartoons that have gone on to define a generation of ’90s kids, with works such as Dexter’s Laboratory and the action-centric Samurai Jack. Now he’s set on creating animated series’ for his now-adult audience with mature shows like Primal and now Unicorn: Warriors Eternal, set to premiere on Adult Swim on May 14. Echoing the cinematic artistry of Tartakovsky’s previous critically-acclaimed projects, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal sees an evil force looming across the dark, thick-aired streets of industrial revolution London when a group of heroes dubbed Unicorn are accidentally reawakened in the bodies of teenagers instead of the adult hosts they’ve embodied in the past: Melinda (Hazel Doupe), a powerful sorceress, Seng (Demari Hunte), a cosmic monk, and Edred (Tom Milligan), a warrior elf. With distorted memories and their magical abilities weakened and fragmented, the trio must work together with help from their steam-powered robot,...

"She has powers. She might be the evil we've been fighting again." Let's go! Adult Swim has launched the first trailer for their upcoming action animation series Unicorn Warriors Eternal, premiering in May. It's the latest original creation from animation mastermind Genndy Tartakovsky, who has been working on the "Primal" series for years before this (as well as the Hotel Transylvania movies). The series follows a team of ancient heroes protecting the world from an ominous evil force. The concept almost sounds like a fun homage to "Clone High" (though not really the same) - all-powerful heroic "unicorns" are reborn in the bodies of teenagers, who must now battle darkness on their own, along with their teen angst. Featuring the voices of Hazel Doupe, Demari Hunte, Tom Milligan, plus Ron Bottitta, Victor Alli. This marks the 6th show created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network Studios after Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack,...

A North Dublin teenager suspects her mother may be afflicted by more than just a psychological condition in this striking horror debut from writer-director Kate Dolan. Cleverly blending folklore elements and relatable real-life issues, it’s an effective, unsettling chiller that will get under your skin.
Set in a grim-looking North Dublin housing estate, You Are Not My Mother opens with a disturbing prologue, centring on a pram on a deserted street with a crying baby inside. After a while, a woman takes the baby into the woods, where she lights a fire, and the child begins to cry again.
The story then cuts to the present day, where withdrawn teenager Char (Hazel Doupe) lives with her borderline disabled grandmother Rita (Ingrid Craigie) and her mother, Angela (Carolyn Bracken...

A24’s SXSW opener Everything Everywhere All At Once, Bleecker Street’s Infinite Storm and Sony Pictures Classics’ Mothering Sunday offer something that’s been rare of late at the specialty box office, fresh content and choice.
They’re in a market with only one new studio wide release, Paramount’s The Lost City with Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock. And if that film does okay it’s a nice win for everyone, said a specialty distribution executive, since it appeals to an older and female demo that’s been hard to win back to theaters. He’s got fingers crossed that the variant of the Omicron variant won’t make a new dent in the very slowly reviving market for non-superhero films. He and others have noted week after week that no specialty recovery is really possible in any case without the consistent flow of new content that we’re just starting to see.

The so-called “elevated” horror genre has lately been overrun with stories in which supernatural creepings function as a metaphor for psychological trauma and dysfunction. At first through-the-fingers glance, “You Are Not My Mother” appears to be following suit, centering as it does on an isolated teenage girl haunted by the unpredictable rhythms of her mother’s debilitating mental illness. But this pervasively eerie, emotionally acute debut from Irish writer-director Kate Dolan doesn’t trade in neat symbolism or pat explanations: Steeped in local folklore, it lets mythic and mind-based terrors exist side by side, allowing the viewer to interpret and believe what they will. This leeway comes at no cost, however, to its effective atmospherics, which sink into the bones like an unexpected twilight chill.
Now getting a limited theatrical run Stateside, Dolan’s film was a highlight of last year’s Midnight Madness selection at Toronto, though that label...

Hazel Doupe is in practically every scene in "I Am Not Your Mother." Kate Dolan's feature directorial debut is a horror movie, yes, but it's also a coming of age story centering on a girl named Char dealing with issues at home. There is a lot of weight on Char's shoulders, and Doupe shows that internal discomfort when she's on screen, whether she's wandering the streets of Dublin or wondering what's happening with her mother (played by Carolyn Bracken).
Char's mother has been replaced by a changeling, and stories of changelings have a long history in Ireland. The creatures will steal or replace people,...

There is a unique variety of dread known only to horror fans. It is not the fear that an ominous foreshadowing will lead to something terrifying. It is the fear that, this time, it won’t.
With every slow-burn horror story there comes attached a creeping anxiety that it might ultimately fizzle, instead of bursting aflame.
Films like writer-director Kate Dolan’s “You Are Not My Mother” may outwardly project a tale of looming supernatural dread, but in this tale of a young teenager whose mentally-ill mother behaves monstrously, and whose grandmother may or may not be the cause, equally great is the anxiety that Dolan’s film won’t be able to make it all come together in the end. It’s a lot to ask of “You Are Not My Mother,” that it operate as both a scary supernatural thriller and a meaningful allegory for mental illness. To...

Irish folklore is made up of things like music, folktales, and dance, and includes all of folk culture. Storytelling has always been an Irish tradition and embraces tales of fairies, mermaids, leprechauns, and other mythical creatures. Dublin-based filmmaker Kate Dolan has successfully created a chilling coming-of-age story, which relies on the dark folk history of Ireland, with her debut feature film You Are Not My Mother. Written and directed by Dolan, the film follows a teenager whose mother goes missing and when she returns a few days later, she is horrifyingly different. You Are Not My Mother premiered at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival and received the Runner Up People’s Choice Award in the Midnight Madness section.

Halloween – or Samhain, as it is spoken in the small-town Ireland of Kate Dolan’s stellar debut – is a time of change; a marker of the shift from summer to winter, the light to the dark. It’s also when, according to local folklore, the veil between our world, and the Otherworld, the realm of deities – and the dead – is at its thinnest. When, as horror dictates, we are most at threat, not just from sinister spiritual forces, but ourselves too. And it’s in this multi-layered approach to genre; the deeply personal overlaid with the fantastical, that Dolan’s first feature stands out as a truly powerful piece of horror storytelling.
Set on the greying streets of a suburban housing estate, on the outermost edges of Dublin (where the industrial meets the rural), You Are Not My Mother follows struggling teen Char (Hazel Doupe) in the week leading up to Samhain,...

This year’s Frightfest strand at the Glasgow Film Festival has been dominated by the impressive contributions of Irish filmmakers, and one of the highlights is this powerful first feature from Kate Dolan. Drawing heavily on folklore and set in a community where it’s far from being a thing of the past, You Are Not My Mother stars Hazel Doupe as an outcast teenager trying to find her place in the world whilst coping with her mother’s (Carolyn Bracken) mental illness, and gradually being persuaded by her grandmother (Ingrid Craigie) that it might not be what it appears. When Kate and I connected, she was keen to talk about the origins of the story and its deep roots in Irish culture.

It’s night-time in an Irish housing estate edged by woodland. A pushchair sits alone at the end of a quiet road, its small passenger unaware that anything is wrong. By the time the camera turns and we see Rita (Ingrid Cragie) standing nearby, most of us will already be feeling unsettled. And that’s before Rita takes the baby into the woods, consults an obscure manuscript, and starts building a fire.
Flash forward some 15 years and Rita is still living in one of those small red brick houses, with her daughter Angela (Carolyn Bracken) and granddaughter Char (Hazel Doupe). She’s not as fit as she used to be and has a bad foot, but she often takes care of Char, all the same, because Angela is mentally ill. It’s not immediately clear what the problem is but she struggles to get out of bed and perform basic tasks.

Something wicked runs in the family in a creepy, hugely effective feature debut from writer-director Kate Dolan that is anchored by its remarkable lead performances
“Families are the scariest thing on the planet,” says a teenage girl in this Irish horror film from young director Kate Dolan, making a seriously impressive debut. It’s the dead of night in a suburban cul-de-sac outside Dublin: a baby is in the middle of the street, alone and whimpering in its pushchair. A woman scurries out of a house, pushes the buggy into nearby woods and lights a fire.
For the next hour or so the film feels like a slow-burn slice of drab family drama: claustrophobic, but not obviously supernatural. The unsettling sound design begins to reveal the truth; all clanking pipes and whistling winds. Hazel Doupe is terrific as quiet, introspective teenager Char, who lives with her mum Angela (Carolyn Bracken...

On the TV Side, crime drama Kin dominated the field with 13 nominations, including Best Drama, as well as director, script, actor (twice) and actress. Vikings:Valhalla, the Netflix sequel of the popular historical show, received seven noms, as did BBC show Hidden Assets.
Leading the way with ten apiece are Kenneth Branagh’s much-fancied awards contender Beflast and Irish-language feature An Cailín Ciúin, which recently won the Grand Prix of the Generation Kplus program at the Berlin International Film Festival.

"It's not your mother up there... If we don't do something, we'll never get her back." Magnolia Pictures has revealed a new official US trailer for the Irish indie horror film titled You Are Not My Mother, marking the feature debut of filmmaker Kate Dolan. This premiered at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival last year, and recently played at the Gothenburg Film Festival. In a North Dublin housing estate Char's mum mysteriously goes missing. When she returns without any explanation, Char is determined to uncover the truth of her disappearance and unearth the dark secrets of her family. Obviously something is very wrong with her. The film stars Aoife Spratt, Ingrid Craigie, Jade Jordan, Paul Reid, and Hazel Doupe as Char. The film earned some great reviews at TIFF: "With fantastically committed performances and a deft management of tone, it's one of the better genre films of 2021." The dance scene in here this looks nuts!
