The Witch (stylized as The VVitcher) is this years early buzz worthy horror film but does it hit the nail on the head of miss the mark completely? The Witch follows a puritan family, banished from a plantation, leaving them at the edge of a mysterious woods to fend for themselves and feed their family. The disappearance of the youngest member of the family sets of a wave of paranoia and accusations in this old English folk tale. Witch's slow burn horror approach coupled with it's fantastic lure is what really wins in the long run. The movie feels so thoroughly developed and researched that the story and acting feels authentic. It's an easy movie to get drawn into, a rarity of modern day horror films. Witch exploits it's sort of "give and take," walking movie goers through this deadly creature deep in the woods and the overly religious family whose lives are in peril. This movie is more about sin and confessions than it is about the witch, which really makes it all the more smart. Thomasin, the main character, becomes the families scapegoat between the inconsolable mother to her young twin siblings Mercy and Jonas, despite her protest her families accusations grow louder. There's noticeable symbolism in the film that never feels out of place like a disturbing scene featuring a red apple, the witches red cloak and a black rabbit and black billy goat. The accent in the film is a bit hard to follow and to untrained ears, you might sit there staring at the screen wondering just what was said. While Witch only has a handful of shocking moments, the movie's so well crafted that it's hard to not believe that this film deserves it's spot in the horror genre. This is incredibly amazing considering this is director and writer Robert Eggers first big screen project. Witch is eerie, dark, intense and certainly different from what we've seen as of late. This is a film you're going to want to grab some friends for and experience on the big screen!
