A boring and superfluous product

Rating: 4/10 (1 September 2019)

This film isn't a horror but a mystery, because it can only scare children. The problem is that the resolution of the mystery is predictable from the first scenes. So it's a mysterious film in which, however, there's no mystery. So what kind of movie is it? Hypothesis 1: it's a documentary about a folk American legend; the most fake and reactionary documentary possible, because it represents like real bloodthirsty witches. Hypothesis 2: it's a nice style exercise, performed for authors and critics and not for the public; so anyone can see how good they are director, actors, director of photography, audio technician, costume designer, makeup artist, etc. (and they are really good), critics can praise the technique and cultural connections, and viewers can feel really disappointed.
