Spellbound is an excellent movie that should get more credit. The parents who are showcased as monsters are metaphors for adults losing their way with anger and grief that consumed them. The strong little girl has a fire inside her that is so bright that she guides them back to themselves through resilience and love. It is an emotional journey where many obstacles make it challenging, but there is always hope with each struggle. It is an excellent spin on the modern struggles of an only child trying to navigate their path and how their resilience can guide the lost souls around them back to life. Please be sure to look for the hidden meanings in this gem.
