Plots(1)
John Gregory (Jeff Bridges) is an ageing Spook who is responsible for protecting his town against all sorts of supernatural creatures. He is the last remaining Spook, however, and has been unsuccessful in finding a replacement - all of his apprentices have died. He seeks out a new apprentice in the form of Tom Ward (Ben Barnes), who is the seventh son of a seventh son. Tom joins Gregory in his battle against the evil witch Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore) and along the way meets and falls for her niece (Alicia Vikander), learning that not all witches are wicked. But will he be able to defeat Malkin and prove himself worthy as a Spook? (Universal Pictures AU)
