BEAUTIFUL CREATURES 

Ethan Wates dreams of a girl then sees Lena Duchannes, who resembles her. She and her family are accused of Satanism and witchcraft. Lena and Ethan become close and she tell him she and her family are ‘casters’, who can perform magic. When sixteen she will have to choose between light and dark. Lena wants to choose light, but her cousin Ridley and her mother Sarafine arrive to force Lena to dark, as they believe she will be so powerful that she can use her magic to eliminate all humans and leave only casters. Ethan and Lena learn their ancestors were in love and when her ancestor used a forbidden spell to resurrect Ethan’s ancestor this put a curse on all the women in her family, steering them to dark. The only way to end the curse is for someone Lena loves to die. Not wanting it to be Ethan, Lena erases his memories of her.   On December 21, 2013 [1:40:43 – 1:53:17] during a re-enactment of the Civil War Battle of Honey Hill, Ridley gives a bullet to Ethan’s fellow reenactor “Link”.
