An expertly crafted unsettling picture.

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2019)

If you are into artsy films with solid substance, then you will appreciate this film. The Witch takes risks and succeeds on nearly every one of them. The unsettling and eerie nature of each scene gave me goosebumps. The score gives off a similar feeling that The Shining had, and it elevates each scene when it is used. The actors succeeded in being believable in the films dramatic and thrilling scenes, and the script asked a lot out of them. I cannot commend the cast enough for pulling off certain scenes. This film may disturb many people, and I would definitely proceed with caution if you are sensitive to religious themed horror.
My only true negatives would he the slow start of the film and the rewatchability. It's hard to imagine myself going back to watch this film again because of the sheer unsettling nature of the premise.
