it is time for a witch hunt

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2016)

I had heard a lot of good and bad stuff about this film. It was strange that in this world of found footage horror films, bad cgi horror films, and really poorly made slasher flicks that we could ever get a period piece type of horror that seems like it would be closer to a true story than any past found footage movie. I don't think this is some artsy horror film like "It Follows" was, but I do think it is in many ways a sophisticated horror film that uses a lot of language of that time period.
Sadly I don't think that sort of old style speaking is going to appeal to the mass of people who wanted to see a horror films, but I do think that it will get them talking.
This is a real treat of a film that should be watched. It is not a psychological horror flick, but rather a scary and yet neat look into the ideas of the Salem Witch Trails that had once happened and brought fear into many people of that era.
It brings in the use of magic and witchcraft in a pretty new and different way. It is a film that works on all levels to make the reaction that the directors and writers want us to feel.
The Witch is creepy and daring and has a lot of characters to match. It works on multiple levels to be a cool a neat flick that I think you can find some enjoyment out of.
