I really think it's average, it's far worse than many old horror movies.

The director is good , the
actors are good, and
the crew is fine,
but I must say that the fucking screenwriter is really powerless to complain. . .
Even though everything looks good, the ambience and whatnot set off nicely. . .
but?
but?
I've been waiting for an "orgasm," but I still haven't had any orgasms that make me feel like an orgasm. . .
Families die one by one, but where the hell is the witch.
In the whole play, except for the head-on collision between the little boy and the witch, and the witch parachuting into the barn to show her face, the witch itself has always been squeamish and hidden from the audience.
The whole film has been arousing the audience's interest from beginning to end, but every time it reaches a critical moment, it does not go deep into the theme of the witch's story itself. . .

Even after the whole family was almost dead, I didn't notice it. . . What to watch.
so! Those who watch this movie should be fully prepared.
No surprises. There is no climax, and there is no in-depth interpretation of the witch. Even, even the story is incomplete. Because when you watch until the end of the play, you will suddenly realize that this is the end? Is this going to be a sequel? Can this movie really be watched without a sequel?

To sum up, although it is a small cost and the actors' acting skills are in place, it is a pity that the script is too poor. This is a horror film that does not even tell the story completely, but it can basically be classified as a bad ending film!

The Witch quotes

  • [first lines]

    William: [before the court] What went we out into this wilderness to find? Leaving our country, kindred, our fathers' houses? We have travailed a vast ocean. For what? For what?

    Governor: We must ask thee to be silent!

    William: Was it not for the pure and faithful dispensation of the Gospels, and the Kingdom of God?

    Old Slater: No more! We are *your* judges, and not you ours!

    William: I cannot be judged by false Christians, for I have done nothing, save preach Christ's true Gospel.

    Governor: Must you continue to dishonor the laws of the commonwealth and the church with your prideful conceit?

    William: If my conscience sees it fit.

    Governor: Then shall you be banished out of this plantation's liberties!

    William: I would be glad of it.

    Governor: Then take your leave, and trouble us no further.

    William: How sadly hath The Lord testified against you.

    William: [turning to leave] Katherine...

  • Thomasin: [walking gradually toward her sister] I be the witch of the wood.

    Mercy: Liar! Liar!

    Thomasin: I am.

    Caleb: List' not to her, Mercy.

    Thomasin: I am that very witch. When I sleep my spirit slips away from my body and dances naked with The Devil. That's how I signed his book.

    Mercy: No!

    Thomasin: He bade me bring him an unbaptized babe, so I stole Sam, and I gave him to my master. And I'll make any man or thing else vanish I like.
