Hail the goat!

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2016)

I really dig this movie and have found The Witch to be very authentic and well done period horror that brings these morbid tales of New England folklore to life. The Witch is a very serious minded production and pays meticulous sense to detail from the sets, to wardrobe and to dialogue. It also has the right tone, psychology and atmosphere to deliver the creepiness and horror. The crumbling family dynamic is also a pivotal part of what makes this film relate able to audiences and have them encompassed in the story as well. Performances and direction are real strong and while The Witch may not suite all tastes, it is a solid and original horror story that delivers and one that I have grown fond of and truly appreciate.
