Don't believe the haters! This is brilliant film-making.

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2016)

I don't always write reviews, but when I do, I either loved it or hated it so much that I just had to write something about it. I urge all of you who are reading this to just give this movie a chance; it will make you think about all sorts of things (religion, film-making, family, 17th century, corns?) while taking you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions and scares. This movie is so unique and hard-hitting with its haunting atmosphere, its creepy music and its approach to acting, it will just leave you mesmerized, terrified, confused and down right in awe. The fact that this is Robert Eggers' first full-length movie just blows my mind. What solid craftsmanship. What an amazing experience. The less you know about this movie, the better, so I'll keep this short. Just close all the lights, crank up the volume and let this movie drag you to the depths of hell =)
