A horror film that's worthy of appealing to critics.

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2016)

One definition of the word 'Horror' is "Intense Repugnance" this film is a perfect example.
The Witch follows a family that's being torn apart by the acts of a witch. This film doesn't have jump scares, nor lame cgi driven action. It instead focuses on its story.
The performances are brilliant. Everyone was FANTASTIC! This movie just looks brilliant. So many shots look like they could be genuine works of art.
I'm not going to go on about being a cinephile though. Because this movie can really appeal to all. The great dialogue and chilling audio leave you feeling perpetually chilled. You can't sit comfortably watching this.
There are several shots that are quite disturbing but they aren't overly gory or torturous. We don't get to see the Witch in the film very much but when we do its awesome and unforgettable.
I just can't recommend this movie enough!
