Review of The Witch (2016) by Arunscript — 03 May 2016

If your brand of horror is blood/gore and jump scares (as is the case with most Americans these days), you'll not like this movie. The 0-4 reviews are unfounded. I found this movie to be pretty good - there is a palpable sense of dread that runs throughout the movie.

I wouldn't say that this is a GREAT movie or anything but it is definitely a good one. There are plenty of disturbing scenes in the movie - if you experience these in the context of the movie and within the realms of what this story is about, it is pretty unsettling.

However, if you're the sort whose threshold for scares has been upped by the likes of slasher movies, you'll probably not be as affected. Once again - good movie for sure.
