Egger's visionary old horror tale is a gem for the horror universe

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2019)

Eggers finally gives the universe of horror films a rare gem. An ancient gothic fairy tale, dark, ancient but not unprejudiced.
With "The Witch" you don't expect a conventional horror that overflows with blood or jumpscares.
The narrative rhythm is rather unconventional for a horror, but it is well suited to the universe that Eggers created and was able to draw and transmit with this film.
