A Brilliant Movie that will stay with you long after your viewing

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2016)

There are others reviewing "The Witch" very harshly, giving the film one star. Many of the descriptions of the film are from viewers that have apparently never ventured from the realm of the typical jump- scare fest, or are deeply religious, which is typical of today. It was a near-perfect incarnation of a specific horror theme that, unfortunately, no longer really resonates with most people.
The Witch is not for those who become easily distracted, or those who expect everything in a film to end as expected. The Witch is for those who enjoy horror as it was made when one would visit a theater to see a movie, before the advent of the VHS. It is also for those who are practitioners of Pagan, Hermetic, Magick, or traditional Witchcraft beliefs. The film shows the tribulations of a family in a way that drives the viewer to feel that the Evil is in fact not evil, but revolutionary and cool.
