Robert Eggers’ *The Witch* does something rather nastier than simply putting a witch in the woods. It builds a family perfectly capable of destroying itself, then puts the Devil close enough to offer assistance. William takes his family out of their settlement in pursuit of religious purity and promptly creates a tiny kingdom governed by his own pride. The crops fail, money disappears, truths are withheld and Thomasin occupies the particularly unenviable position of being old enough to work, old enough to blame, but not old enough to possess any meaningful authority. By the time anyone seriously accuses her of witchcraft, the family has already constructed the machinery required to believe it. Eggers makes that machinery horribly convincing. Samuel vanishes during a game of peekaboo with an impossibility that the film barely underlines. There is open ground everywhere except towards the forest, so Thomasin walks towards the forest. What else can she do? That refusal to overplay the impossible becomes one of the film’s great strengths. Even the supernatural arrives with unnerving discretion, right down to the almost subliminal progression from Black Phillip’s hoof to the boot of something considerably less goat-shaped. Meanwhile, the human details hurt more. Katherine climbing into Caleb’s grave beside him is seen at a distance, a tiny action inside a huge landscape, and says more about her grief than another page of Puritan anguish could manage. Caleb’s extraordinary death scene and the shrieking twins around him make faith itself feel contagious. There is an interesting argument that *The Witch* need not even be supernatural: bad crops, religious mania and a story subsequently told as New England folklore could explain plenty. The film rather spoils that tidy escape route by showing us the witch when nobody is there to hallucinate her. Quite right too. The richer idea is that the witches are real **and** this family has made itself exquisitely vulnerable to them. That is why Thomasin’s ending works. She has not secretly been the witch all along. She becomes one. Her approach to the coven is hesitant, almost appalled, until she rises with the others and something finally changes in her face. After ninety minutes of obedience, accusation and misery, living deliciously does have quite the sales pitch. --- Reviewed by FolknHell, the folk horror film podcast · folknhell com Hear the full FolknHell podcast discussion of The Witch: folknhell com/the-witch-review along with our other reviews, transcripts and episodes.

One of the best movies I've ever seen. The acting, the lighting, the writing were all divine. Also, even though this is a horror movie, I liked it because I'm a bit of a scaredy cat. I don't like horrors that have a bunch of gore or jump scares.

<em>'The Witch'</em>, Robert Eggers' feature directorial debut, is very good! I enjoyed all of these 90 minutes, I could've watched it go on for a little longer in truth. I really liked the atmosphere throughout, as well as the look of the film. The dialogue is particularly excellent, too. Everyone on the cast gives a terrific performance, shown perfectly by that final scene with them all together onscreen. Harvey Scrimshaw is super convincing in the aforementioned, I was almost questioning if they had got an adult actor and morphed him into Caleb, such was his high performance. Ellie Grainger and Lucas Dawson are class in that scene too, one of the most unsettling moments in this is as their characters convulse on the floor - that sorta thing with kids always creeps me out. I've gone too far into my review to not note Anya Taylor-Joy, who is quality from beginning to end. Ralph Ineson and Kate Dickie merit props as well. I mentioned in my recent review of (the good) <em>'Nosferatu'</em> that I was unsure how this one was going to fare in my personal ranking of this director's work, given the stark contrast with my thoughts on <em>'The Lighthouse'</em> (4/10) and <em>'The Northman'</em> (9/10). In actuality, this falls a notch below the latter; not far off the same rating, fwiw. It'll be fascinating to see what Eggers conjures up next, as long as it is not another piece in the ilk of that from 2019 then I'll excited to check it out.

Talk about old school! “The Witch” is a painstaking recreation of Puritan life in New England. The lifestyle is mimicked. The clothes are period-accurate. The dialogue is actually based off of documents and speeches from that time. It’s as if Mel Gibson decided to update “The Passion of the Christ” by 1600 years. As mentioned, the movie is set in Puritan New England as a family is banished from the larger community and has to make their own way out in the wilderness. As they build their home, strange things begin to happen, starting with the abduction of the infant Samuel. Things continue to get worse and worse, until… okay, no spoilers. See the movie. This is a dark and effective movie. I can’t remember the last time I actually had a start from the all too often used jump scares, but the movie is absorbing enough that it did manage to “get” me a couple times. Robert Eggers seems to have kicked off a new wave in old-school, deep supernatural and existential horror. I won’t lie that I drew some comparisons between this and Ari Aster’s “Hereditary,” if nothing else than by simply the way the movie felt and left me feeling at the end. That being said, the film isn’t perfect. In fact, oddly enough, it’s perfection is what gives it imperfection. The period is so painstakingly recreated, in particular the dialogue, that sometimes hearing it can be jarring, making me stop for just a second to think about what was just said, which unfortunately interrupts the flow and managed to pull me out of the film. It’s kind of a strange complaint that something could be so accurate that it fails to suspend disbelief, but here we are. “The Witch” is quite an achievement and I’m glad that this film, which would otherwise be relegated to underground status, has managed to achieve a following, enough so that Robert Eggers got to do a follow-up with the Lovecraftian-looking “The Lighthouse.” Definitely worth checking out.

This was a really good horror film. The direction was very interesting and Robert Egger plays with darkness and shadows in a really horrifying way. The tension is unbearable at times. The dialogue is a bit hard to follow as it is very "oldé English" to add to the historical accuracy of the piece. The actors are all good at reciting this strange dialect and demonstrating the paranoia spreading through the family thanks to religion and superstition.The film is based on accounts and texts found from the era and so everything seen on screen has been taken from sources and barely been touched. Every part of the film seems authentic. It is refreshing to see a film that doesn't really on jump-scares and annoying "cattle-prod" techniques to make audiences scared. 'The Witch' is genuinely disturbing without resorting to these techniques. It is very strange and gory when it needs to be. I also found these strange scenes quite fascinating and educational as the film almost seems like a historical document. ★★★★

> While an evil force slowly possessing them, the family bond is put on a test. The film was based on the collection of a series of the real events that takes place in the 17th century New England. The story of a farmer family who came across the ocean, but now lives on the edge of the forest after denied permission to build a house in a village. When the newborn baby disappears in a thin air, the family begins to experience the mysterious events. Without a clue about the happenings, the evil force begins to possess them while the unity of the family is tested. Wow, finally a wonderful horror-psychological-thriller. Usually horror films are the worst kind compared with other genres, because most of them overly rely on the sudden sound/noise and gore. But there are many awesome horror films I had liked which were better story than the graphical presentation, like this one. So I love good narration than those try to scare me with make-ups, stunts and sound mixings. It was a limited cast film, sets in a beautiful remote place and the language was awesome that perfectly suits for the horror theme like this. Everyone's performance was brilliant. It is just a one million dollar film and the entire film was shot within a month. The records are not matter when the writing and the direction were top notch. Especially for a first timer it was a remarkable achievement. A simple plot, developed greatly and the suspense was the highlight. Yet viewers expect more explanation, but I'm happy for what it is and it should not go deeper than that which might spoil its unique flavour. Not just horror film fans, everyone should try it if they're capable to handle the slow narration. Finally, like usual, here I won't ask for a sequel, because it'll make an amazing one off film than the dozens of crappy follow ups. 8/10
