Slowly terrifying and disturbing

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2016)

To put it simply, Robert Eggers delivers a terrorizing horror in the form of 'The Witch'. Do not go into this film expecting cheesy jump scares and scary apparitions. This one does not do that. Instead, 'The Witch' delivers a slow terror, unnerving, and mentally exhausting horror. The constant questioning of what is happening leaves the audience uneasy and when this film finally starts to pick up, it consistently bludgeons the audience with eerie terror. Some dislikes I did have, however, were that the old English is sometimes hard to follow and it can be found as being slow at some parts but it is all part of the style that Eggers is delivering his haunting moments. This is another Indie win for the creative horror category. I would place it among the ranks of last years creative beast that was 'It Follows'. Check this film out and try to keep your sanity.
