Mind your expectations

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2017)

'The VVitch' is an excellent, and to my mind, a perfectly genius horror movie, which isn't at all reliant on cheap horror movie clichés and tricks like loud sound jump scares, tremendous amounts of blood and gore or unbelievable ghost stories, no - it sets an amazingly creepy and suspenseful atmosphere, accompanied by a terrific score and wonderful cinematography. Everything about this movie is on point and well made, it succeeds in everything it wants to be - the main idea of the movie is quite original and it is brilliantly executed.
What I meant by "mind your expectations" is that some people might watch the movie expecting to see a gore-fest and an insane witch terrorizing people, but that isn't the case. The witch's character is so well-built and written - she's not your typical horror movie monster going about killing off people, on the contrary - we rarely get to see her and she's basically a part of the terrifying atmosphere, we don't see her but, we're still afraid of her and so are the characters. They don't even know for certain whether she exists and that's one of the reasons that their family breaks apart.
Anyway, I loved this movie and everything about it - the cinematography is beautiful, the screenplay is brilliant, the acting is top-notch and the atmosphere is absolutely horrifying - exactly how a true horror film should be.
