Good but severely lacking

Rating: 6/10 (25 July 2016)

The Witch is a prime example of a film that has a great concept for a story but it fails at delivering all the key ingredients that could have made this film a lot better than it is.
The things that are wrong with this film are that it focuses too much with drama, not a lot of things happen, the film is 30 minutes too short and of course the most important ingredient that this film didn't include enough of, it didn't have enough Horror to it.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the general story concept of a family in 1630's New England that have forced themselves into exile to the wilderness and are being torn apart by witchcraft and the characters in the film work quite well but that's about it, I mean it's not a bad film but everything else just drags it down into being a forgettable film. If I were to fix the films problems, then The Witch could have been a fantastic Horror film instead of being a let down that it is.
