Review of The Witch (2016) by Karamnos — 19 Feb 2016

The negative fan reviews shock me almost as much as this amazing, creepy, beautiful, terrifying film. I saw it several months ago at a screening and couldn't wait to see it again. Everything: soundtrack, dialogue, cinematography, acting, pace seamlessly create a mood of real dread unlike anything I've seen in years.

Maybe some people going in were expecting a jump scare, slasher film. This isn't that. Its a deeply moody slow boil about a family unraveling as evil eats it from the inside out.

Go see it.
