So much promise..

Rating: 1/10 (17 April 2016)

The title & erotic cover capture your attention and draws you in.The cinematography is visually stunning and really evokes the sense that this is 1630 New England.
You sense pretty early that the soundtrack just doesn't go with the film..unforgivable and goes downhill from there.
I don't know what Mr Eggers was thinking but like others in the genre.He's guilty of taking a great concept,which had so much promise,only to write a load of garbage that doesn't live up to the title. That fact is brought home to you as the witch scenes are unnerving and the fantastic ending scenes..were you find yourself thinking "dammit yes, this could have been good"
The brilliant acting of Ralph Ineson couldn't save it.
Mr Eggers had the start,the witch and the ending but had no idea what to write in-between.
I haven't seen such terrible a movie since Wendigo.
