Witch, The
USA 2015, 92 minutes
Dir. Robert Eggers
Rating: [R16] Violence, horror & content that may disturb
Genres: Horror
Topics: Period - 1600s.
Feat. Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie
“In the tradition of William Friedkin's The Exorcist, this taps into the same temporal fear that sparks religious feeling.”
Aroview: A rigorous arthouse horror-drama that follows a puritan family in 1630s New England as they are torn apart by the apparent forces of black magic and possession.
Researched and constructed in painstaking detail, it is quite exceptional as a rustic historical reconstruction, while its deliberate and largely unsensational approach to the horror elements will both extend and limit an appreciative audience. Scripted in the authentic dialect of the period, subtitles are recommended.

4 stars (Very Good) Damn spooky and, for those so inclined, rife with potential subtext. Though the visuals alone make this "folk tale" persuasive (sets, lighting, and framing all very evocative), it's the actors that make it unnervingly real. Imperfect but very impressiv ~fairbrother
3 stars (Good Enough) Its more suspense than horror and its low key, its used sparingly and therefore is more effective. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) ~trauma_hound412
