Review of The Witch (2016) by Wanyarolf — 07 May 2016

The Witch. After beeing lauded with an absurd high score by the critics, I've watched and is awfull. The story could have been better, but they chose not to develop it. The horror is absent. The dialogue sometimes didn't match the time period.

After loosing complete interest in these aspects (story,characters), about 15 minutes from the start, I couldn't kept myself of noticing how clean everyone was in the movie. That was the most immersion breaking feature for me.

They were always pristine clean, white clothes, all their wardrobe is brand new. Even the little ones, who like to tease around goats and whatnots, not even a smear across their white, bright teeths, face.

So, instead of trying to extract some sense of this horrible movie, I spend the rest of viewing time trying to spot a smudge, a smear, a hay in the hair, a bad tooth, a dirty nail. Nothing. Aparently the people were very, very clean at the time.

Much more than today.
