"The VVitch" is Avvful !!!!!

Rating: 1/10 (11 March 2016)

Being a huge horror fan, I was really looking forward to watching this film, after the great reviews on IMDb by both Critics & Users ....... BUT WHAT A MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT !!!!
New Writer/Director:Robert Eggers has clearly tried to make a horror version of "The Crucible" .... BUT FAILED MISERABLY !!! The 1 out of 10 rating I have given is partially due to the good performances by the cast ... and partially due to IMDb not allowing 0.
It is a real shame that these good performances were drowned in the mire of this dreadful story/script !! Mr Eggers appears to have a passion for long blackout sequences (of 5-10 seconds) after a dramatic scene ..... IT'S A SHAME HE DIDN'T USE THIS BLACKOUT TECHNIQUE FOR THE ENTIRE 92 MINUTES AND DO US ALL A HUGE FAVOUR !!!!! I am a believer in closely following the work of promising new writer/directors, but I'm afraid I will not be viewing any more or Mr Eggers work ... as this film was Truly APPALLING AS A HORROR !!!
Back in 1982 there was a far less clever & cultured horror called "Superstition (aka The Witch)"..... WHICH IS INFINITELY MORE ENTERTAINING AND IS A REAL HORROR FILM!!! Mr Eggers version is pretentious tripe !!!!!!!!!!
