  • If you're a horror fan , there's nothing not to live about this great film. Truly one of the classics !

    Set back in Puritan New England, A 24 did a amazing job getting everything to feel authentic, from the dialect to the scenery. The acting is too notch , considering that over half of the actors were kids, in a horror film. Very creepy vibe in the film, would make a great Halloween party film

  • Properly chilling, the VVitch has a lot to say about the way in which societal forces can effectively create a form of predestination for individual people. When the world takes away your options, what's left of free will and what does that concept even mean?

  • The Witch is my favorite Robert Eggers movie. It oozes atmosphere and dread the same way my favorite horror films do. I truly had no idea what was going to happen in this film but watching the family slowly get torn apart is unbelievable. One of my favorite reveals ever.

The Witch Review
7/10

The Witch is effectively unpleasant and creepy, but it works better as a psychological thriller than a horror film.
