It's Halloween, so watch this

I just finished watching "Abandoned Soldiers" a few days ago and was deeply impressed by the heroine Anna's beauty. I saw her profile and found this movie. It happened to be in time for Halloween, so I planned to watch this movie.

The film is okay, the ending is a bit casual, and the few horror scenes in the film are quite amazing. The family's faith collapsed too quickly in front of this barren farm, helpless and lonely.

The black goat, the cold weather, the deep woods, the ubiquitous black rabbits, the twins who talk to the goat, and the bible babbling all day long make the whole movie even more evil.

    The devil is not the opposite of faith, the devil is only in the heart. The witches in the Middle Ages were the victims of the patriarchal society, but the witches in the film and television works of the new century have become a symbol of the awakening of feminism. Sad.

    7.4 Apple, hare, crow, black goat, temptation, desire, weakness, hypocrisy. The camera is simple and the atmosphere is depressing, which seems to be degenerate, but even if a contract is signed with the devil, no one will not support the heroine.

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.
