Be afraid of the woods

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2016)

The Witch has made me unnerved and scared in a way that I haven't been scared in a very long time. It's not a crippling fear, nor is it a jumpy fear but a fear that will make you squirm in your seat. This movie has a undertone that I can only describe as being "incredibly uncomfortable". Robert Eggers found a way to take the once campy and silly Halloween decoration that is the witch and make her feel real and terrifying. 17th century dialect helps you stay grounded and adds to the realism that this movie goes after. I give this movie a 10/10, this movie is important for independent filmmaking and artistic integrity. Please go and support a great movie made by talented people.
