Review of The Witch (2016) by Grant D — 01 Oct 2018
The Good:
- Doesn't rely on jump scares, but instead just casually crawls inside of you and lays an egg of creepiness.
- Doesn't hold back. A lot of horror movies will cut away during some of the more questionable scenes. The Witch shows pretty much everything.
- This actually works as a period piece (apart from the part where there's a witch in the woods) as well, since the characters actually talk like they did back then.
- It may be a slow burn, but the final 30 minutes or so make it all worth it.
The Bad:
- I wish we got to see more of the Witch.
- None of the characters are particularly likable, and because of this I wasn't really worried about them when stuff starts to go wrong.
