A somewhat flat and boring storyline...

Rating: 3/10 (13 August 2017)

I had initially looked forward to getting to sit down and watch "The VVitch", though it is only 2 years after it was released that I actually got around to do it. I do remember watching the trailer back prior to the movie came out and was intrigued.
The story in "The VVitch" was plagued by a horribly slow storytelling, and it didn't really help that almost next to nothing happened throughout the course of the entire movie. It was only towards the last quarter of the movie or so, that the movie started to pick up pace and things started to happen.
One thing that did work in favor of the movie was the acting performances put on by the cast. The actors and actresses were really doing good jobs with their given roles, despite having a limited script and storyline to work with.
There was a really good and realistic atmosphere to the movie, and it definitely seemed like it was quite true to the time period in which the movie was set to take place. And the costume, props and sets were quite convincing, adding a lot of flavor and detail to the movie.
"The VVitch" didn't fall into my liking, because it was just too slow paced, and the ending of the movie didn't sit well with me either. This was somewhat of an acquired taste of a movie by the hands of writer and director Robert Eggers, and I believe that having an interest in the time period and particular aspect of American history that "The VVitch" is set to take place in is a definite must to fully enjoy this movie.
One thing that puzzled me was the fact that if you have seen the original trailer to the movie, then you have essentially already seen the entire movie. Everything else is just filler that really doesn't serve much of a purpose to the story.
