Yes it is wonderfully mind-boggling. That a film so inaccessible to the majority of movie goers *had absolutely no corners cut whatsoever.* Literally nothing was compromised, not the budget, nor the run time, subject matter, rating. Nothing. We may never see another film like this again.
I do think the theatrical release should have been shorter just to get its money back. The movie is perfect as it is.....
But it makes me sad that if they had cut the runtime a little bit then the movie could have been sucessful and we could have gotten another sequel
Something keeps holding me back from watching The Witch, it's on Amazon Prime, I can never get myself to watch it.
The witch is not foreign. But it is done in old english. I had to put subtitles to understand them.
But i think the movie was pretty amazing.
It doesnt rely on any jump scares.
Doesnt rely on shaky cam.
Doesnt rely on crappy acting.
Relies on slow dread and a lot of suspense and very realistic settings and acting.
There's no other movie like it. It is probably one of the best movies about witches.
It kinda feels like a documentary on old times and living in the woods and dealing with the darkness that lives in the forest.
Very atmospheric, extreme attention to detail. Has subtle but effective horror. Relies on good storytelling instead of cliches like the movie the ritual did.
This is everything the ritual and the blair witch sequel should have been.
It was a great experience of a movie.
