Finally something fresh in the horror genre

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2020)

You probably know already that The VVitch is not like the many formulaic horror films out there, with jumpscares and other clichés.I am not a fan of morror films, mostly because I am easily scared, but this one is fantastic and for my taste. I was not scared during the movie, I saw it during daytime, so this made things easier, watching it at night would not do me good. The beauty of this film is, for me, the atmosphere, taking place in the XVII century, packed with many thee and thou, with a religious puritan family, and the psychological horror, you don't if what you see is something supernatural or not, until the last thirty minutes obviously. Some scenes are disturbing, yet subtle, I think, and this is why I loved this film. I liked all the characters, most of them were used in the best way possible, didn't like the twins. Anya-Taylor Joy and Ralph Ineson, his voice suited perfectly with the film concept, were great here. The disturbing aspect, the tension, the moments that were unsettling, the build-up, everything here is great. The costume design, the production design, the soundtrack, the cinematography here, it is perfect, and looks like the film was shot during the 17th century, it was so emmersive, at least for me, I am a history fanboy so the experience was amazing.
Oh, and Black Phillip. One more reason to love this film.
