Broke and happy
Rush and khev summed up The Witch perfectly!
I can totally comprehend and respect some hating this movie, it can really take a ton of patience to settle in and get engaged with it.
I already knew what I was walking into and I love slow burns and even then it almost lost me, I kept hoping for something more threatening to happen from all that built up tension, if anything this movie could've actually benefitted from a few jump scares but the director refused to do them, he wanted to remain respectful to his vision of having the scares come from the creepy tension, and for the most part he succeeded.
Man, the isolation in this movie was creepy (see spoiler for more on this).
Spoiler time:
DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE, IT WILL RUIN THE ENTIRE MOVIE! GO SEE IT BEFORE READING THIS, IT WILL BE WORTH IT!
I can't stop thinking about this movie!
Sure there were a few times where a jump scare would've actually worked, but the movie was still able to deliver the tension without them, so I guess that makes the movie even better.
Everything coming together made for a super high quality work of art, from the music to the acting.
The music certainly did its part believe you me.
Instant buy.
GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

I liked how they tricked us into thinking the father was going to go all Shining/Amityville and start chopping up his family with the axe, but that's not the direction they went.
This movie is brutal on kids, being a parent definately made this movie more disturbing (Like in Rambo 4 with all those kids getting killed only here its with religious mental trauma).
The heated debate involves the ending, and I can understand why some are not liking it but I fully embraced it.
It goes full on fairy tale, it literally is one of those fairytale drawings depicting witches in the woods surrounding a fire come to life!
But even then we really don't know if this was all in their heads.
This movie only reenforced my beliefs on just how dangerous and deadly religion can be
Like I mentioned before the isolation in this movie was insane, it became a character all of its own, especially when the daughter was all alone at the end, yikes, the silence was deafening!
