The Witch

Woulds’t thou like to live deliciously? I shall guide thy hand

A horror unlike any. Tension builds slowly but palpably. Atmospheric and rich with contextual detail. The acting is quality even from the younger members of the cast. A welcome break from the run of the mill stuff coming from the genre, currently.

I thought this film was superb. It wasn’t fast paced but had me engrossed.

Every frame drips with atmosphere and an overwhelming sense of dread. This film is a cinephiles dream but I can understand why it has so many negative reviews as it is not a film for everyone. Story plays a back seat to aesthetic and thematic narrative. If you go into this expecting a ‘typical’ creature feature you will be sorely disappointed.

This film is awful dreadful and boring.i got it free when someone bought the DVD they gave me the uv code from it.honestly I felt like I'd wasted money using electric just downloading it.i sat counting the minutes till it finished,not wanting to knock it off in case I missed something as it was classed as a "top" film.unless it's a list of most boring films ever then this won't top nothing.even the do called big reveal at the end just reminds me of a straight to DVD 99p budget film.just awful attempts at acting and stupid accents.its meant to be suspense but in reality it's just nothing happens ,that's their excuse for an awful film ,just saying it's building on suspense but that usually means building up to something.yeah people die but it's so random and badly acted and lasts seconds.just think of it like American horror story coven but worse,if you like that series then you might like this but if like most people you hated it then you'll hate the witch ,GUARANTEED

this movie is absolutely disgusting, the plot and idea is veryy sickening and the movie was extremeley disturbing. Honestly I am a huge horror and thrill fan but i am completey shocked when i watched this as i am confused how the rating are high on this movie. WAste of my money and my time!!

I wouldn't waste your time.

Just watched 'The Witch' - it won't be everyone's cup of tea but I thought it was fantastic! A really disturbing tale of horror and tragedy that brings home the sheer strength of superstition in the 17th Century. The forest and the dark are the backdrop for this blend of various English/American folk tales of the period. It is an outstanding mix of beautiful cinematography, especially lighting and soundtrack, and fantastic performances... the young lad who plays Caleb gave an outstanding performance. It wasn't comfortable viewing in any sense, disturbing from start to finish without the need for any big budget special effects. Recommended.

Despite the poor audio that made listening to the dialogue impossible at times, the story was almost nonexistent, drawn out for an hour and a half and although I'm a fan of the main male actor the resulting production was in simple terms, a total non event. Not scary, slow, boring, and a pointless waste of time. If you want to watch a good horror movie, this is not for you. And I love all types of film.
