**** plot and story....this one is all about color and sound and brutal death scenes
And I was actually cool with that, even though I actually don't remember any satanic witches, but I was pretty out of it. I was just enjoying the spectacle, even if I had no idea what I was watching.

I'm hoping it'll help to be able to remember what happened five minutes earlier.

Crying Freeman.
I had forgotten just how stylish this movie is.
Haven't seen any other action movie like this.
Maybe it imitates some anime, since it is after all based on a manga.



The soundtrack and the way it is shot and staged really makes it quite unique.
Maybe it is a little bit corny, but I like it quite a bit.

Watched "The Witch" on Amazon Prime based on Frowny's recommendation. A bit slow in places but a really well made and acted supernatural/horror genre movie set in Pilgrim era New England. The entire flick has this crazy sinister vibe to it that just keeps building and building until the ending. The last 15 minutes is some of the creepiest **** you will ever see.

I didn't just love the The Witch as a horror movie, I loved it as a movie in general. I honestly believe that they could have taken out the horror elements and it would have served well as a thriller/drama. The last 15 minutes were mental though, for sure.

You can even view the supernatural elements as more metaphorical contributions to the subtextual tale that the movie is telling.

For sure. My first viewing of the film was soured because the theater I caught it in was filled with one of the worst audiences I've ever been in. They were laughing and yelling and carrying on throughout the whole time, so I didn't really know what to think of the movie. I picked it up when it was released on blu-ray though, and the second viewing blew my mind. Definitely one of the best things to come out of this new wave of independent horror films, and I'm excited to see more stuff from this director.

The Witch....third viewing now

quite a few people left during my theatrical viewing...they hated the dialogue and hated that it wasn't some witch running around killing everyone.

personally i don't think there is anything sinister about the film at all....what might feel sinister is the fact that this film in every aspect is drenched in hopelessness.

That is the horror here.

This family is fucked right from the first sentence of the film and it never gets better.

i really feel this film is quite simple in it's point. Here is freedom. Here is servitude. Choose. Faith is servitude. Freedom is following your energy.

this is my film of the year hands down...with neon Demon in a very close second.

It's not my film of the year but definitely in the top three. I just love how you could almost FEEL the dread and the cold and the bleak hopelessness of it all. Such a creepy film.
