Rating: 8/10 (20 April 2016)

'The VVitch' is a creepy and atmospheric psychological horror movie. Although there are no "hard" scares, certain scenes will haunt you long after the closing credits have run. The tension and horror only works in the context of people who are entirely convinced that Satan is real and striving every minute to trip innocents up with their own carnal urges, even in the most mundane, everyday situations. Due to the movie's use of authentic period dialogue, spoken in English/New England accents, sometimes mumbled or whispered and further hampered by the iffy enunciation by child actors, you have to pay close attention to follow the thrust of the dialogue in certain scenes.
