Horror Movies

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

So a co-worker told me yesterday, that "The Witch" is one of the most disturbing scary movies he's ever seen. Anyone seen it yet?

My review is on post #886 on page 45 of this thread...

I gave up on in 30 minutes in

I actually tried to watch The Witch with the wife, but it was way too slow so I had to shut it down.

I was just now able to finish it. It is certainly not your average horror movie. If you like psychlogical horror then it is a must see. If you are not so much into that then you should probably avoid.

On a side note, I studied some Puritian crap back in the day at Uni, and I am fucking soooooo happy I am not living in that time and place!

@SLY tried to warn us about how slow it was. At least for those of us that were paying attention to this thread lol. I still enjoyed it. Definitely wasn't what I'm used to, but the acting was awesome. Would have loved more shock & awe but the movie wasn't intended to be that way. It's one of those movies that you're either going to love or hate. Really depends on the mood you're in too.

Somebody spoil the ending for me, I wont re-watch it. lol

I honestly don't exactly know if I fully understand what happened... But here's my thoughts:

Spoiler

Essentially the entire movie is about good vs. evil. One thing that needs to be said is the "witch" or "witches" are nothing more than a metaphor for evil. People got too wrapped up in their perception of what a witch is, and they completely missed the point of the movie. People expected crazy Hansel & Gretel type shit, and that was pretty far from what they got. As for the plot & climax... I'm sure you gathered the good vs evil from the perfect-puritan faith they were trying so hard to achieve. The teen girl, Thomasin, tries her hardest to be good. She ends up unintentionally "sinning" by lusting for the outside world. She begins to doubt her faith, etc. Her slow transcendence into evil ultimately leads to the death of her entire family and then she joins the "heathens" or "witches" dancing around the fire. Basically drove home the symbolism of good turning to evil.

Hopefully that helps... I'm obviously far from a director or writer so that analysis of the movie is up for debate.

I can't quite remember, but the person cursed could see "it", correct?

I believe it was whomever was cursed and was cursed before them were the only ones that could see It.

This could be a cool movie, but who knows. Trailer is suspenseful

@FaCe-LeE-uS - if you've done a review already, please post the page number. I'd like to see it. Won't affect my opinion, but I am curious as to your thoughts. My initial view? My kinda horror flick, but I'm not yet sure it is worthy.

So far, I was way more impressed with the Facebook movie. However, I'm only half way through. Not giving up hope yet.

Damn I know I watched that movie shortly after its release, but I can't seem to find a review from me? I did a preview on it before its release. Must have completely spaced reviewing it after I watched it.

Sorry dude I usually let a few slip through the cracks. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing though lol. From what I remember it wasn't anything special. I remember the typical jump scares. Some of the Fx was decent, but I don't quite recall all the details. Don't remember the climax or ending so I'm at a disadvantage!

From what I remember it wasn't anything special.

Sigh...unfortunately, this pretty much covers it.
