The Witches and the Grinnygog (1983)
An ancient church is being dismantled and moved to a new location, stone by stone. One of the gargoyles from the stones falls into the possession of a mother who takes the stone man back to her family. Soon after, four strangers show up in the village and the Sogood & Firkettle children seem to be the only ones who question the mysterious things that begin to happen. This film was originally broadcast across six 25 minute episodes with a total runtime of 150 minutes. A few years later, the US cable network Nickelodeon edited the miniseries into a 2 hour (including commercials) movie block. This 2 hour edited version was shown throughout the 1980s on US television.

Sadly Over-hyped
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Good start, but then it gets ruined
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
