A masterclass in terror

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2019)

If a horror film manages to fill every inch of me with sheer dread, then by god it's done it's job. It's been a long time since a scene in any movie actually made me feel physically ill; at some points, it was even a little too much. But hey, it's not like I watched this to have a pleasant time.
I read a review by someone who gave this a 1 star rating, and they trashed The VVitch in the same paragraph... which explains a LOT. People complain about not having enough quality horror films these days, yet at the same time, the excellent ones go WHOOSH over their heads. Are people dense? This is not even that subtle of a plot, guys. What part did you not understand?
