Quite good!

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2016)

Well, this is something!
It is - as it is labeled - a horror film but also a mystery film. I would add that this is kinda a fairy tale. Are witches in fairy tales?Or only the good princesses and nice things?!
Anyway, the film is quite good. I really liked the performances of all characters in the movie. Really convincing and utterly believable! The oldest boy was phenomenal! The oldest girl too, but really, every role was perfectly acted! I really had a feeling I was in the 15th or 16th century. The mood and the tone of the film totally transports you to those dark ages of new puritan America and those religious fanatics... We have the devil in the movie, but I must say that the figure of father was reminiscent of Jesus ( on purpose or not - and maybe it is only my thought - did not read other reviews yet). The film is disturbing at times. The witch is ... well, I am not sure if there is only one witch or there are many in the film ( not counting the last scene) who were after the family.
The sounds ( I would not really call it music) was totally dramatic! It fits the mood / color of the film. The last witch dance and those sounds were ... chilly!!!
All in all, this is really a great film. Fairy tale horror I would say. Definitely would recommend to anyone!
