Review of The Witch (2016) by Bazza — 10 Apr 2016
Seriously, how does this get such rave reviews? I am totally perplexed that even users on here are saying things like 'stunning', 'fantastic', 'beautiful' when it's anything but. I have to admit, the acting is very, very good but the story is almost non-existent.
You'd expect a movie containing witches to be very mysterious and creepy and this requires subtlety to execute - there is none. It's in your face, silly moments like the witch appearing and cackling that renders it devoid of subtlety - just look at The Blair Witch, totally creepy despite not actually seeing the adversary.
Almost all of the cinema were baffled by what they were watching. I think the people posting 9s and 10s either watched a totally different movie or simply have very low standards to begin with. Do not waste your time and money.
