Review of The Witch (2016) by Spangle — 09 Jun 2016
A truly horrifying experience, The Witch is a film that makes you feel as though Satan himself is sitting there watching it with you. As a Christian, it left my soul shaken to my very core. This film scared the crap out of me.
With a truly haunting score and an even more frightening atmosphere, The Witch is a truly phenomenal horror film that ranks up there with some of the better films of the genre. With strong acting, led by Anya Taylor-Joy, and terrific direction/writing from Robert Eggers, The Witch clicks on all cylinders and will live in my dreams forever.
Additionally, The Witch has truly phenomenal cinematography and impressive period detail that really sets the scene perfectly for the film. Overall, The Witch is certainly a slow burn and is devoid of jump scares, so the fear it creates may be lost on those not willing to dedicate time to focus on the film.
For those that are okay with slow burns, The Witch will be a rich, rewarding experience.
