Psychological masterpiece!

Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2018)

Rewatched the movie The Witch. I forgot how much I enjoyed that movie. The directing and cinematography are outstanding. You really get the feeling of religious paranoia and dread from the era. The entire movie feels like one long nightmare you can't wake up from. It constantly produces a feeling of dread and paranoia that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The set design was near perfect in every way. It perfectly captured how difficult it was to live in that time period.
The film also made excellent use of sound to build up moments of suspence and horror. Overall a 9 out of 10.
