This film provides a satisfying spook for kids; nothing too scary or violent. It maintains that perfect level of spookiness that children can enjoy without the morbidness of contemporary horror films. The structure, continuity and production style are outstanding. It reminds me of a ghost story being told over a campfire. The choice to make it a period piece was a good idea and the locations are well chosen. It is simple yet effective. Two siblings go into the woods to get milk for their mother, providing a great set up for the climax of the film. Visually, it's rather dark and keeps an element of mystery throughout. Overall, this film is well planned out and holds your attention for its entire 12 minutes in length.
Take a journey with a brother and sister through the woods of their small, rural town to get a bucket of milk, as they pass through haunted woods where a giant oak tree, known as The Ghost-Eye Tree, tries to frighten them. Relive the innocence of childhood and the wonder of imagination as the two siblings embark on an adventure they will never forget. Based on the book by John Archambault and Bill Martin Jr.
