Alright, but not THAT good...

Rating: 5/10 (24 March 2016)

So another film that is once again over-hyped by critics comes knocking & fails top live up to it's hype! The Witch!
The film is basically about a witch that attacks a family in a farm in the 1630's & is hidden thin the form a human being. That's it & so I'll tell you about the film.
The film was OK, but not worth the stupid hype & 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes! I don't get what's so good about this film, I really don't. Why critics seem to like boring crap like this & hate great films that are underrated is beyond me! What goes in their heads!? Anyway...
The plot of this film was thin & watery, but not too complicated to say the least. My issue with this film is the fact that it took abit of time to get going & was also quite confusing visually & dialogue wise. It got me abit lost at one point. But, we got there eventually when it DID pick up about 30 minutes in.
The dialogue was confusing as with the pacing of the film at the beginning! Why they couldn't speak normally was annoying! I mean it's like talking to someone about Star Wars & them not knowing what your meaning! The film makers & writer/directer obviously got too wound up in this film that they forgot to simplify the dialogue & what was going on in the first 30 minutes, if not the whole film itself! It may be obvious to YOU but it won't be too us! Make it general & not biased!
Also in all honesty, as much as I liked the simple plot, it was all TOO simple! Like you could say the plot within 1 sentence within 10 words or less! I mean I like films that have an easy plot generally as films now work too hard to be clever & end up confusing viewers & falling flat on it's face, but the least the could've done was add abit more complexity into it! It was too straight forward & didn't have a twist or clever plot whatsoever! How critics liked this again is beyond me!
The film did have some good points to it mind. The kills were interesting, the graphic violence did spice the film up abit & also made up for the first boring 30 minutes! I also liked the actress & the naked women near the end of the film! The goat killing people was quite funny & entertaining!
I had a feeling upon watching this film I knew it wasn't going to be epic & judging by the over hype it shows you can't judge a book by it cover! Over hype usually means it's sh!t & under to panned usually means good in the day & age! We also never got to see the witch too which was abit disappointing!
I overall found the film to be mediocre & very below average at best! Watch The Boy instead as it's far more entertaining & has a good plot twist unlike this film which is too simple plot wise & too complex & overly confusing visual wise, it should be the other way around complex plot, & simple visuals with great effects! At least then it would be more entertaining & worth the stupid over hype these stupid critics seem to churn up!
5/10
