After reading all the long reviews, there was no mention of the religious background of the movie. The town in the film is a conservative Christian area, which can be learned from the dialogue in the court and the police chief. Therefore, the residents of the town repelled the witch on the surface, and they were dubious about the supernatural phenomenon in their hearts. People's rebellious psychology leads to the more benevolence and morality, the higher the crime rate. Domestic violence, child molestation, extramarital affairs, promiscuity. . . All the prohibited behaviors of Christianity are not missed in this small town. But it is precisely the heresy in Christianity-the witch, who played the redemptive role of the "Virgin Mary". So Buddy’s statement that "the people in this town need you" is to some extent an irony of traditional Christianity.
