Review of The Witch (2016) by Noel M — 21 Jun 2016
So The VVitch (The Witch) was terror at it's finest. It was outstanding and completely unnerving. I have NOT seen a movie like it. Reminded me a bit of The Blair Witch Project... I still champion as one of the Top 10 Horror mobies of All-time.
Watched some of it through my fingers. Based on 17th century folktales and the fears of witchcraft... a'la The Crucible. It's hard to put your finger on what may have really happened. The plot open to interpretation.
Was it hysteria? Was it The Devil's work? Was there a witch? Was it isolation? Was it religion? Which ever you believe... it was a Coming of Age story. The acting was brilliant. The mood it conveyed was eerie and chilling.
It most definitely should be a contender for award season. If your a TRUE Horror fan you'll appreciate it for what it is... art. ððððð.
