“For me, good horror is taking a look at what’s actually dark in humanity, instead of shining a quick flashlight on it and running away giggling" - Robert Eggers
yes yesss so true...right on well said!!!
I could not agree more!
Jumpscare horrors with giggling children/monsters are cheesey.
For me,this is true horror.True darkness.
This is a lovely quote and definitely what kept me up at night about this movie. Good and absolutely terrifying 😉
Have you seen Hereditary?
That was quite disturbing and creepy as well.
Also not about throwing popcorn into your girlfriend's face.
The people who are saying this movie was horrible don’t realize that horror doesn’t mean scary, horror is being disturbed, not being scared. You don’t need to have jump scares to make a horror movie.
2nd like
I hate jump scares, it seems like the easy way out
Ana Either your grasp on English is tenuous or you’re on some mind-bending drugs and have figured out the meaning to life
Blair Witch Project doesn't have ANY scares and it's in my top favourite horror movies ever.
This is where all complaints are coming from tbh.
The ability to make a disturbing film without a single jumpscare is just....wow...
there is one jump scare
Watch hereditary and midsommar!
@@vilmagalantomartinez4988 Yep, the witch, midsommar and hereditary are my three favorite horror movies.
The Lighthouse too.
@@esmith2k2 also "mother!"
I really loved that Eggers used natural sunlight for the day scenes, and only natural fire light for the night. It makes it look more realistic for the time this story was narrated. No doubt Robert Eggers is a great director!
No possessed doll, no little girl singing, no jump scares, no creaky door sounds, no footprints - yes! I shall have some of this
plumlogan No looking into the mirror and something creepy is in the background?
Doc Von Doom : We all tried that in grade school-- at school with the bathroom lights out and also at home in my sisters (and my) room. Lights turned out ,twirling 13 times saying "Bloody Mary" and stopping to look in the direction of the mirror. Never saw anything. Did this off and on for about 3 months.
Achenar Moiety no i mean in movies where there is a cliche moment where the main character looks in the mirror, opens it up to get something from the cabinet behind and then when they look back into the mirror someone's there behind them. Then when they turn around there's nobody there.
I see what you mean.
Yep, that idea's been done to death. Hopefully this movie will have a few surprises up it's sleeve !
Also, back in the days of early America -- the Puritans could be pretty brutal themselves, towards anyone even suspected of being involved in witchcraft.
Achenar Moiety oh yeah! since medieval times even. Coupled with a set of "trials" that involve being lighter than a duck (scales were rigged) and pretty much any woman that was hated by anybody would get accused and get torched. Anyway, if channeling a demon by chanting bloody mary to a mirror were actually true then i'm pretty sure a military organisation somewhere would have weaponised it by now.
if you feel alone at night... just watch a scary movie, suddenly you won't feel alone anymore. :)
Oof but true
... (too bad this is not one of them) 😕
No
Nice scary comment to read at 2:13 am 🤗
Kaylie Griffin haha a good way to get around it 😂
One of the best films I've ever seen. So original, and Anya's debut was astonishing.
IDK I feel like low budget movies can do better if they had there camera scenery
Maybe a good doctor will help you…
@@madworld2040for having an awesome taste for movies?
What was the ending?
This was her first movie?
this movie made me so fucking uncomfortable, totally my kind of horror. no jumpscare shit but disturbing.
No jumpscare required. This film is disturbing AF.
A24 makes real horror. Unsettling, not many jump scares, disturbing themes and imagery. They are creative in their story telling and I know many of us can appreciate that.
Veevo why didn’t A24 do that with The Witch then????
SonnyGTA why are u so pressed lol
dont you mean Robert Eggers........
Finally someone gets it
Robert Eggers*** people need to stop giving a literal distribution company credit for the directors hard work
This is what horror should be. No jump scares, just disturbing horrific content. Not like that cookie cutter BS hollywood has been force feeding us lately. 10/10
@@mathiaskanuck6759 A couple of weird things... or maybe a coven of witches deliberately trying to convert a girl to join and killing her family in the process? I dunno, I think weird is a very... strange word.
Solid point.
Lmao this is a Hollywood movie dumb ass. Face it nobody does movies better than Hollywood
@perkele dumb ass lmao. Hollywood is the best at movies and entertainment. Name someone better.
ACE I want to hear
This movie was a masterpiece, from its rich historical accuracy, its old English dialogue , to what the director shows you or allows to be seen and what’s left up to the imagination… this film impacted me when it came out , it’s hopeful that Hollywood still has a few real artists working in the industry
IS a masterpiece, not WAS a masterpiece.
This movie is what i like to call "a slow burn" absolutely terrifying. And uncomfortable to watch. It's not for everyone.
the blackcoats daughter is a slow burn too it’s on netflix i love it
it´s literally not terrifying at all
@@annischickle6059 maybe because you watch crappy movies with jump scares and expected this to be like them
This is very historical, when a person back in the 1600's felt that there was a witch or demon upon them, they would go through all of these risks. Blaming their friends and family for the paranormal happenings because they didn't want it to be true. I applaud the writers.
Yeah they went very deep with research. Some lines are ripped from accounts of witch trials.
Cloudess I applauded the end. Since I was so happy it was finally over.
Yo Marella what is UP my guy
This movie is for serious horror movie watchers, this movie excels
@@kristianspot2683 as an Indonesian, unfortunately these things are still exist in our modern society.
And also African Country
Can't believe this only got 6,8 on IMDB. Probably many people thought this was a hard horror film. It's more like a creepy drama. The quality tho. Amazing movie.
Ass movie it's like an acid trip
@@heaven9393 I'm a 15 year old white boy, english please
This movie was horse shit
Efe Aydal'ın bunu beğenmesine şaşmamalı. Kendisi bir ateist, o da böyle işler yapıyor tabii.(!)
@@trampustefertiller6246 Oh i am sorry. I wanted to give reaction to the comment of Efe Aydal. I spose i clicked something wrong.
"Jump scares in horror movies is like a comedian physically going out and tickling their audience" ~ Chris Stuckman - This is why movies like this are so amazing compared to many of the other films we get! The atmosphere, mood and cinematography is amazing! You just get such a pure feeling of dread and eerieness with films like these and its just so well done!
Damn what an accurate comment.
Who's here after watching the Queen's Gambit? :)
I was surprised to know it was the same actress!
She's on Emma. too
Mee hahaha
Me! I am binging her movies!
@@kingslushie1018 Sammmme I love her
this movie is as dark and hopeless and soul crushing as it could get.
gives you a good glimpse of how shitty life was back in the day too
Arthur Dealy those people were defenseless.. if you didn’t like someone, you could call them a witch. And destroy their lives completely.
@@robertawilson3688 kinda like sexual assault allegations these days. Oh, gotta love Mccarthyism
Climb down off the cross. Back in the day if someone called you a witch 9/10 you hung. These days someone calls you a rapist their are a few thousand bros ready to call them a liar. Rapist almost never go to nail. I

@Groyper of Gondor by "wrong" you mean?....
Stephen King said this movie terrified him...
Did he? 😱
*The Brady Bunch would terrify that dweeb*
O shit that means this is realy scary
King is terrified of a whole lot of things that wouldn't scary a little kid. He wrote a lot of good stuff, but his opinion about horror movies doesn't count much.
@@StudioSerious1
thank you for seeing the reality of that charlatan of a 'horror' writer
This movie didn't really scare me, but made me deeply uncomfortable. Like I-would-classify-this-movie-along-with-suspiria-and-midsommar type of horror.
Same. This made me uncomfortable, hereditary actually scared me.
that's the point, the horror here isn't being senselessly scared, it is being hopeless and powerless against incomprehensible forces.
You know it was a good movie when you're watching the trailer years later. This is what horror should be imo
I thought the same thing. I also don't mind the dialogue, It gives a sense of authenticity to the movie.
+1
The Witch has such an authentic and unique style and atmosphere to it! I haven't found a film quite like it yet, and this trailer alone is so good! I can't wait for Robert's version of Nosferatu!
Now, _this_ is how you do a horror film!
Mau Jo I would actually argue it is more a psychological film than a horror film. And THAT can be terrifying.
Jeremy Banchiere No, it's a horror film.
In the wise words of _Batman Begins_ Carmane Falcone, "You always fear what you _don't_ understand".
Mau Jo Fear is an unpleasant emotion. Horror is INTENSE fear. You can have a suspenseful film that provokes fear without it being a horror movie. Only time will tell.
Jeremy Banchiere Mothman Prophesies and Silence of the Lambs are psychological thrillers. This is real horror at it's roots.
Who’s here after watching the incredible trailer for The Lighthouse??
Meeeeeeee
Me of course
Me
hello there 👋
Me haha. Now I have to see The Witch to see what this director is all about!
Best horror movie I’ve ever seen. No tacky jump scares, no cringe teens, just pure terror.
Absolutely loved this movie. This movie introduced me to unsettling horror. Just pure psychological tension. The music is very important in it yet even without it, you feel the tension rise progressively as things take it’s worst turn. The closest sensation to this I’ve felt from another movie was from The Lighthouse, which is also by Robert Egger, the producer of this movie. This producer knows precisely what he wants to give and he does give it. 9/10 movie. The overuse of the music, whilst really well done, is the missing one, as I personally think it’s use make some tense moments less impactful. However they are very well timed. It is just a tad over the perfect amount.
not 1 jump scare. 10/10
Is there such a thing as a site that rates thrillers 'scariness' by whether or not they have a jump scare? I almost always turn off the audio...
Jump scares are for people who need to be told when to be scared. This movie gives you the room to decide.
excited to watch this one. As a horror movie fan I like the way you put that first sentence... it really is 'scares on command'
It seems that a real horrific story scares enough, whereas a mediocre story depends on jumpscares to achieve its purpose
well there was one near the end, in the barn. I was so scared i was paralysed
no cheap jumpscares? damn, this seems to be worth watching
MarinOS2107 I know right? I was scared there would be jumpscares but damn that girl in the end was enough to spook me out. I dunno if I have the courage to watch this
+
oreen Camacho
MarinOS2107 I've heard there are a couple jump scares in the film but I also hear the film somehow warrants them. The tension builds so much that you're just hoping for a jump scare to end it.
MarinOS2107 ikr?
+Noreen Camacho go on you can do it
It’s crazy to see how far Anya has come in her career since the witch
I love this director. ‘The Witch’ and ‘The Lighthouse’ really were fantastic movies. I know his movies aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but I really like what I’m seeing so far.
I just rewatched this last night, and there is a very interesting detail. When the father is inspecting his corn, look and you can clearly see that the corn has ergot fungus. Ergot is a hallucinogen
Hundreds of years ago people who had ergot poising from crops was said to be witches and where killed by the community.watching this movie tonight.0
How can you tell?
Dang
Ergot doesn’t affect corn. Sorry to burst the bubble. It does however affect wheat, rye, and other grasses. Commonly eaten. PhD is in plant pathology. Corn does get other fun fungi though. But we actually eat one of those and it tastes a bit like a weird mushroom.
@@andreapayneconnally390
Ok....this is getting weirder and weirder.
this movie had amazing child actors.
+Minicule X YES! That was the best part of the film. All of the child actors did an incredible job. Really crazy.
This movie was so good it was amazing
good to hear, child actors in horror/thriller can make or break them
Yeah those twins were really good... I find their characters really annoying but that was their job.
lol!!!!
What I loved about the movie is the Thomasin was the only one who was free from any sin. And the devil got the best one to turn, thus defeating god in this instant.
This movie wasn't scary at all. But it was hella disturbing and twisted for sure.
That's exactly right
Horror doesn't mean blood, gore and the jump scare. A horror film can be disturbing and unnerving without being the usual bloodfests they're usually known for. The Witch is f'n awesome for this very reason.
Still say The Grudge did it better.
Thats the point. Horror doesent mean being scared, its being creeped out and leaves u thinking. Sad that people mistake this genre for cheap jumpscares.😔
@@hishamrashid5293 Speak for yourself. Creepiness doesn't scare me; it just makes me uncomfortable. I want my heart to race, to lean back in my chair, and fight the urge to turn the lights on. I want to go to sleep and have nightmares, or to lose sleep because I don't know how my subconscious will process what I saw. THAT is fear.

Fantastic movie! From my point of view to see how Anya Taylor-Joy’s journey throughout the years is where it is now astounding. I didn’t even remembered she acted in The Witch, until i just searched her filmography. Now, I feel going on a binge of her acting now. In hindsight, a part 2 of The Witch is needed with her. 🤗
Eggers is in a league of his own. Completely original and unique. How refreshing. The Lighthouse and The Northman are two of my favorite films ever. Anya Taylor-Joy is superb and has a bright future.
A brilliant film telling the story of how Katy Perry signed with Capitol Records

One of the most beautifully dark and elegantly scary horror movies I've ever seen. This movie speaks to my soul❤
Am I the only one who loved the 'olde Englishe' used in this film?
Probably. It was muffed and hard to understand at times.
I watched the movie on my computer with earbuds so it was not hard to understand the dialogue, but it was probably a lot more difficult in a movie theater setting to catch everything
It's Early Modern English from the Elizabethan time period, not "Old English".

"Old English" refers to the Anglo-Saxon language, which would be nearly completely unintelligible to us

Thanks!
sounds irish to me
Anybody that says this film is trash has absolutely no taste in horror or appreciation for the genre at all. They are just used to the cookie cutter shit that you leave your brain at the door before going in to watch it. This was a masterpiece of a film.
Tell me more
The movie is fucking terrible, not eerie not disturbing not scary, too predictable and impossible understand wtf their saying.
After watching The ritual I think I’m going struggle to find another good and relatable horror
Yeah your the authority on horror
Completely agree with you. This is a masterpiece. Watched it after a University film professor recommended it and I see why he did. Very unsettling and fantastic cinematography
@@marise-cellardoor2031 That's pretty cool! What are you studying at university?
I’m on a quest for watching all A24 films. They’re. All. Excellent
This is fantastic, everything to the time period and that uneasy feeling called “ suspense “. Taste and originality, its refreshing to see movies like this and are still being made.
“Hereditary” owes its lineage to this film. Both “Hereditary” and “The Witch” are masterpieces.
and now... „Midsommar”. :-)
And now "The Lighthouse" As Well :)
Hereditary was crap
Throw suspira in the mix too
Maximum Perfection not one bit. it was great but good try. you probably have a low attention span
Finnaly something great not those found footage movies.
Senior Adrian Goodnight Mommy is also a promising German horror movie. It looks like its going to be good as well.
Senior Adrian Right? They are completely overdone now, mainly because of the poor directing and writing.
Senior Adrian You're acting like there are tons of found footage movies released. Of the hundreds of movies released this year, there has/have been one, arguably two, (The Gallows and maybe Unfriended, depending on how loosely you want to use the descriptor) that have made their way to theaters.
Matthew Norman 2 is to many.
+Matthew Norman Yeah but in recent times the "found footage" genre has been thrashed like an old crack whore!
The scene where the black goat goes rampage is genuinely terrifying. Also the scene where she founds the witches around the fire.. 😕
One of my favorite horror movies of all time. The setting and visuals are so good and the story is well written and terrifying .
Is that the breast feeding mom from game of thrones lol
matthew w It sure is! Sexy! ;-)
matthew w Dagmar Cleftjaw too!
matthew w sexay!
matthew w That scene made me want to fucking puke. And I wanted throw that little brat from that hole. But not before I got to bitch slap him about a few times, and then proceed to kick his ass to be thrown into the hole.
matthew w And somehow her kid looks like he was raised eating nothing but nestle baby formula, 100% reinforced with lead and Chernobyl shit.
You know it would be a weird horror movie when you see A24...
I wonder why this movie on rt got bad ratings for the audience
Jaime because it’s a baffling piece of shit movie
Lorenzo Smit it’s a shit movie.
alicia terisno right? A23 or A25 you would not expect it. But A24??? Come ON! Am I right?
@@SonnyGTA why do you think so?
"The Witch"(2015) is one of the 100 best horror movies of all time for sure! This is a classic horror masterpiece already, and it has a very sorrowful and scary ending!
This movie was amazing.
Not cheesy or corny, you can actually see this took time and effort to make. One of the most disturbing and mind playing movies I seen in a loong time, also with some shots reminds me of Hereditery or even Midsommar.
Just saw this last night. Great movie. Old fashioned horror that stands the test of time. Well written, sound plot, authentic dialogue, brilliantly directed and could not get over how brilliant the acting was from every single character, even the kids.
How was the soundtrack? Did it add to the intensity of the movie?
superwolfgirl27 hmmm...y'know what? I can barely recall the soundtrack and that in itself is a further testament to the quality of everything else as the soundtrack is one of the main things I usually take note off.
yeah the thing is this kind of isn't REALLY a horror.. it's like a period piece.. folk tale. i think that might be why people got so mad that "it wasn't really scary." (although they are totally wrong.. it's scary in a real way not the cheap jump-scare way. maybe disturbing/foreboding would be better words than scary.)
AutomobileFunk While I don't agree with your opinion, It's nice to hear your view. Hope the next one you see suits you better:)
AutomobileFunk Didn't see Crimson Peak. What was one you did like? Just to give me a flavour of what hits the spot for you. Curious is all.
Nah. I'm seeing something scarier...2016: The Election, rated R for ages 18+.
Fucking ok we do not need your fucking comment here i think i dosen't look scary but at least it looks good
I agree
+Sandpaper Snail The Purge: Election Year can't even beat it.
+Brisa Pacheco I just watched the movie; The Witch is definitely a psychological horror, which is quite refreshing to be honest. If you are looking for cheap jump scares, this movie will let you down, but if you are looking for a film that has some meat to it and are of an open mind, you will likely enjoy it.
i actually looked that up and was confused when i couldnt find the trailer xD
can we just TALK about the fact that this was robert eggers' debut film? imagine having a filmography of just this and the lighthouse, both among the best indie films of the twenty-first century. he's got to be one of the greatest talents of this generation and i cannot wait to see the northman.
the acting from the cast was astonishing. even the kids had hell of their perfomances
This movie is a modern masterpiece, and will be considered a classic of the genre in the years to come. Period.
underground man You can’t be serious. This movie was a downright boring piece of shit. Then again, you can’t even figure out how to make a profile pic....so you obviously don’t know anything. Period.
SonnyGTA You are legitimately trash talking people who say this movie is good.Somebody needs to go outside.
SonnyGTA Who pissed in your Cheerios?
This movie was trash
Elena Escriva Muñoz
No
To all the people saying this doesn't look scary, go watch something like the gallows or the poltergeist remake you know with jump scares. The rest of us will stick to real horror
so true! Horror movies are not original anymore full of fantasy and jumpscares. though i actually liked the conjuring O.o
+Enrique Quinto I agree, in my opinion the insidious movies are plain ridiculous, there are at least 50 jump scares in each of those movies lmao it was so annoying
Alea Farmer Insidious isn't as bad as a lot of other recent horror movies. Sure there are tons of jumpscares but they all accompany something meant to be scary like a demon as opposed to a door slamming really loudly or something falling or breaking or a person coming up behind someone else. I would much rather watch it over the gallows, poltergeist (the remake) or sinister 2
+Alea Farmer Insidious is not all that bad. I can say the first movie is the best of the 3 and yes it has a lot of jumpscares but i agree with Ian about them. BUT let's hope the horror genre is ressurected:)
+Ian Levinson I was so into Insidious....and then we see 'it' listening to Tiny Tim. I was done. Spongebob and Insidious would have the same soundtrack lol
I saw this and it had me shook up for 3 days, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I have the soundtrack on vinyl
I enjoyed watching this movie back Then. Really scary and classic. Terrific. Not like any modern horror with jump scares formula.
Exactly! People have been conditioned to expect plain old shock value from their horror movies. If there's no real attempt at going deeper, however, that type of thing just gets boring.
I can never play peekaboo with baby sis ever again.
+Nurin Izzati Haha!

Or drink milk from a goat!
+David Poland your right it's very clever
I'm sure someone on here will volunteer to play with her :(
I've been waiting for this film since January when I read some amazing reviews from Sundance, I'm so happy so see films like this, like the Babadook, It Follows and Goodnight Mommy, genre films with atmosphere, great stories and fascinating characters, something that big Hollywood forgot to put on their genre films (I'm looking at you Blumhouse). I'm gonna watch the shit out of this movie.
The Wilfred How dare you speak about Blumhouse that way.
The Wilfred I was expecting the Babadook to be good, but when I finally saw it, the monster looked like something out of The Might Boosh TV show. We all cracked up lol, so bad.
+The Wilfred The Babadook was a horrible movie!
Frank P A bummer that you didn't liked it man, but is a great movie (98% in RT and 84% in Metacritic).
The Wilfred The Babadook is the best horror movie about mental illness since Repulsion.
it's just so true to the old tales. so effective. the feeling is also very real. especially if you know about witchcraft and have delved in it. one of my favorites. I usually dislike horror but this was accurate, artistic and effective.
The goat who played black Phillip is an amazing actor, wish I could of seen Him in more movies. Honestly he could of been one of the G.O.A.T.S!
Finally, real horror. What fantastic film. Almost no CGI, no jump-scares.
agree, except it's not a horror movie.
+Duff The duff Yes, it is.
***** So The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby and The Omen are religious dramas as well? lol.
It clearly is a horror movie.
CGI isn't bad
Just saw the movie, and first off, this is a GREAT horror movie. Very slow-paced, and a lot of people might not like that at all. But this is true horror. The whole vibe of the movie is disturbing and the last 15 min pay up tremendously. Now, for anyone who's seen it, I was wondering if anyone can help me out with the ending.. *Spoilers*
When the daughter was in the shed, was she talking with the goat, who was satan? Because in the corner you could see a manly face behind her vaguely. If anyone can confirm that'd be great!
I got the impression that she really was talking to Satan.
One of the most unique horror films that has come out recently! Finally, a horror movie that is not a lousy remake, sequel, found footage movie, Exorcist ripoff, or a movie filled with lame jump scares. Stanley Kubrick would be proud!
+Harris Highlights i think she was talking to satan, i think she made a deal with him to get what ever she wanted and he turned her into a witch...idk
Can anyone tell me what was going on at the end tho?? I was so confused.
+Laila Flagg after she lost everything she decided to join the witches, she as pushed over the edge. so she made a deal with the devil to gain power etc
The Witch is one of the best and most original horror films of the past 20 years. From the clothing, to the houses, to the Elizabethan English, the 1600's are rendered in beautiful detail here. In contrast to the laughable Jamestown television series (basically a modern soap opera in period costumes), everything about The Witch is authentic, giving one the eerie feeling of "being there" in 17th century New England. The atmosphere is uniformly ominous and foreboding, reflecting the total isolation of the family in the wilderness. The cinematography is excellent (Note the wagon scene when they are forced out of the colony: it is beautifully shot). The acting is excellent by all involved, creating an intimate portrait of the disintegration of a family under extreme duress. The intimacy and emotion of this family's experience is even uncomfortable in some scenes, almost making the viewer feel like a voyeur. The film is somewhat ambiguous. Is the witch to be taken literally, or is she a manifestation of a group psychosis brought about by isolation, Puritan paranoia, or perhaps poisoning from tainted grain? The film maker leaves it to the viewer to decide, which may account for some of the negative reviews. Some viewers need everything spelled out for them. Ignore the negative reviews. If you are a horror fan who appreciates great craftsmanship in film making, see The Witch.
This movie is amazing. All the actors and actresses were phenomenal!!!
Great movie to watch during Halloween time. I recommend you watch with subtitles though, that way you won't be missing anything they say. The actors accent was ON POINT. They speak with a heavy old English accent.
Yessy Estrada yeah and the voice quality is shit and ancient. You need subtitles to understand what they saying but even if u don't completely understand the words it's ok---it was meant to be like that ---like Shakespeare
@@cruisertechgt nope. some of it may be old English but it's another case of people (almost always people from MURICA) not opening their ears and listening to words that are the same language as what they speak. It's a joke!
@@jonnyplusone4894 God forbid people can't understand a thick accent they're not used to, dumbass.
good job i'm english, lol
Yessy Estrada lol just sounds like a Yorkshire accent to me
For those of you who want to see a horror movie that scares the shit out of you, this is not the film for you. I saw this movie last night, and it was amazing. The cinematography, acting, dialogue, etc. all on point. (minor spoiler below)
But just a forewarning you don't see the witch (witches, actually) until the last 10 minutes.
The film does a good job at making the viewer feel unsettled but it didn't scare me in the slightest. The movie is incredibly slow for the most part; you'll find yourself wanting something scary to happen and it ultimately doesn't. I was slightly disappointed with this film as I was going into it expecting a horror. It watches more like a drama film.
Don't get me wrong, though. The film is amazing! Some masterful writing and directing.
I think it IS scary, but for different reasons. The best part about this movie was it didn't rely on jump scares, but atmosphere and imagery instead. The scariest part was the family, because we have to witness their turmoil and we as an audience want to get out. It took me a lot of time thinking about it, and now I can say that The VVitch is a very different, unique and original horror film.
what? we see the witch in the first five minutes, ya liar!
Allison Collins Didn't count it because it's so brief.
Connor Morley It was unsettling to me. I wasn't actually scared at any point in the film. I wanted to be, but I wasn't. The imagery and the atmosphere is done AMAZINGLY. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to scare me. I was really hoping to see more of the witch(es); instead, we got an hour of dramatic tension and family turmoil. This film is definitely horror. It's just not the horror that breaks me.
+John Doe speak for yourself. This, Maniac and The Strangers are the only non-found footage films to legit scare me. (Though to be fair, Event Horizon came pretty fucking close)
just watched it and let me tell you im.. TRAUMATIZED
This is based on a true story. During that time, the area experienced a few consecutive years of unusually damp growing seasons with very still air. This was perfect breeding grounds for ergot, a fungal infection that attacked rye grain, the staple crop of that time.
Ergot has two main alkaloid groups. Lysergic acid, which is LCD, which makes you experience powerful hallucinations. And the second group is clavine, which makes you experience as if invisible entities start crawling under your skin.
Combine all of this with the fact that back then they had no idea about any of that and at the same time were heavily religious, the results were what this film portrays.
The reason why pretty much only younger women experienced this? Back then, the biggest and most healthiest portion of the food went to the father, then the sons from oldest to youngest. Then the mother, then the daughters from oldest to youngest. This resulted in the youngest girls getting the worst quality rye and basically tripping heavy balls off of the psychoactive ergot that it contained.
No it not. but it is a horror story so it not bad. The real life story is that there a beautiful silver haired witch that lived in forest in England. She lived in hovel alone in forest. But a coven of Witches in the next town over jealous of her beauty and of her being popular as a healer got the Church and Inquisition to killer her. But don't worry Alex it seems that she had a powerful admirer. A Magnus of sorcery and magic he got his revenge on the coven that killed her.
Man, just watched this film. Gotta say, this movie is more of like a piece of art rather than just a normal horror movie. So I wouldn't recommend It If you're just looking for something to get scared of.
it was too fucked up and depressing to watch. this movie had pedophilia, baby killing, and just evil conjuring shit.
+UnbelievabIeMontages Depressing? lmao.. This is a horror movie you jackass.
dominic labriola for a horror movie, there was nothing scary about it. just completely edgy satanic shit.

Horror doesn't have to be scary and have jump scares or creepy creatures in it. It has to make you uncomfortable but still thrilling and entertaining to watch.
Finished it amazing, the ambient, the scenes, the actors (including the kids), etc; and the final really enjoyable, this kind of movies are a treasure in this days.
Agreed. They're few and far in-between.
they were no child actors... the short ones were midgets...
Agreed 👍

Coughs lights out 😂😂😂
This is one of the best Unsettling and disturbing movies of the last decade and I just recommend to u watch it for only once..not again!!!
The way he says "There's evil in the wood" is enough to run a chill up my spine
I watched this movie with both my father and mother. We were halfway through it when my father stood up and took the Bible and went to the other room to read it. My mother and I kept watching it and to this day this is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen.
Your father decided to read the bible in the middle of a movie and you didn't find it wierd?
@@edweisai well he's a very religious person, so it's normal for my mother and I to see that kind of reactions from him. In that moment we even find his reaction even funny
I think this movie is a masterpiece! The Lighthouse is a dismal mistake. Anja and Ralph's performances should have garnered them Oscar nominations. More you watch this movie the better you appreciate it.
God bless your Dad, and God bless you and your Mom.
I really appreciate what your Dad did. I'm sure he felt grieved as a Christian by some dark or evil or cruel things in the film, and felt convicted by the Holy Spirit to read the Bible instead. I think that's beautiful and genuine love for Jesus. Your Father is very blessed and a very wise man.
I wonder why he didn't invite you to read the Bible with him though.
I wouldn't let my son watch this movie until he was maybe twenty. I believe horror movies have really poisoned my mind over the years and I wish I never watched many of the things I've seen. You can't forget them.
God bless your Family and may you understand why your Dad did that. If you think it's funny, you are underestimating him. He Loves Jesus and wants to please Him.
And that father? Albert Einstein.
Saw this at Sundance. Blew me away. Terrifying, haunting, filled to the brim with style and originality.
give me a synopsis please. looks pretty good.

***** looks like overblown boredom
Hormonal Hermione get RKOd
It's one of the best from the decade, maybe the best in horror pictures cinema...
A proper masterpiece, they achieve everything they were going for.
Totally agree with you!
Eggers is becoming a kid to watch . The Northman comes out next year and has a pretty formidable cast.
Ah. Yes sir. William Dafoe was incredible. Only right to have him return.
It's called The VVitch, guys. Get it right.

Austen Green Literally a "W" is just two "v's". It should be called a double v. It is spelled correctly, but Im guessing your joking. This was just a nice excuse to complain that A "W" ISNT AN ACTUAL "U".
Of course I'm joking. The text of the movie title in the trailer had the W disconnected in the middle. So it looked like two Vs.

"Does thou like the taste of butter?"
Hahahaha 10/10
+Robert Kennedy Who the heck would trade their soul for butter, Satan? He should have started his pitch with a better bait.
+Flyingtart hehe , it worked thou
Riyad Chokri Should probably use it as a pick up line.
+Flyingtart lol
The last two movies I've seen made me cry, this was one of them
Absolutely loved this film! Especially the ending!
[WARNING] jumpscare at 0:55
Thanks to you, I skip that part. You saved a life today. Pat on your back.
Uhhhh no
I just shit my pants
That baby is scary.
Bende bişey sandım salak ya
finally a masterpiece among all the crap that they sell as horror movies.
Ditto completely, and have watched a lot in the movies lately. We have to savor them because they don't come out often.
+Y'all Poor it's more disturbing than scary but it's an absolutely amazing film totally recommend it
Yes you're right, except of the masterpiece part, because its a mastershit
there are people who are able to catch the dark and distrurbing atmospfere in this movie and feel the real horror behind it and than there people like you who think saw 1 to 23 were good horror movies :-)
Obviously that pinhead didn't see it, it sucked hard.
Amazing movie, i recommend watching with subtitles because the old timey language can be hard to understand. Like any obscure movie like this people will say it's boring because they don't pay attention or don't know the symbolism of it.
Robert Eggers always makes his films look so damn perfect! I love his filming style. I’m heavily influenced by it.
That was true cinema. Bravo.
You mean it was true Kino.
true cinema my ass lol
@@dimitrios0072 lol
dimitrios007 this movie was excellent, don’t know what you’re going on about.
Yeah, it was more of a drama than a horror movie. It reminded me a lot of M. Night Shamalan's The Village.
this looks raw as fuck, i cant wait to see this
daniel ainsworth wasnt sure at first if it was another movie made without a budget! Looks creepy... never had that kind of a feeling before from a trailer :O
daniel ainsworth Wow, never thought 'raw' was a word to best describe this trailer, but that's bang on.
Well l could not even get my head around with this remake
+Luke Nancarrow igen
+Luke Nancarrow this isnt a remake
I really dont want to believe that the imdb is this low it was an excellent movie a movie that could really be talked about.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I don't know when but I've learnt to love the feeling of being disturbed by movies and this is a masterpiece of making you feel that.
01:56 Oh God my Lord I now begin. Oh help me and I'll leave my sin.
For I repent and thou shall be. Thru evil I will turn to thee.
Whom ever shall destroy my faith. For I repent and thou shall be.
Oh God my Lord I now begin. Oh help me and I'll leave my sin.
For I repent and thou shall be.
Thru evil I will turn to thee. †
Witch House in my The Witch?
:D
This was one of the best films I've seen in YEARS.
HE SAID ONE OF THE BEST, NOT THE BEST
Does it had any sexual or nude scene. ?
Coz i want to see with my family..
@@AkshayKumar-sh1bc there's very minuscule hints of sexuality along the movie but no sexual interactions or nudity until the very very end, and only then its only a backshot of a naked person. You should be perfectly fine watching with your family
@@dakotaoakley7077 thanks..
You must be from some other world then coz this is stupiddiest ever film. No entertainment at all
i have come back to this movie so many times. a great rewatch.
After reading some of the comments I'm actually frightened to watch this move. Robert Eggers is an incredible director as The Lighthouse will attest. I think it's a masterpiece.
Why am i only discovering this now
I bought the DVD today, it's okay film
This and the lighthouse were both excellent
I watched this at midnight 2 years ago and I was so scared to fall asleep😂
Becouse you live under a rock
Because Robert Eggers new film "the lighthouse" is getting a lot of awards buzz
The Witch is one of the best films of the past decade. This is one of those examples where I just can't comprehend that anyone would disagree. A lot of non-critics apparently do. Regardless, this film is truly a masterpiece of cinema.
I think people have a difficult time understanding that just like there are different types of laughter and different types of comedies, there are different types of fear and different types of horror films. This film is meant to convey atmosphere, tension, a feeling of discomfort, cold isolation, and uneasiness about nature. It's not meant to make you jump out of your seat, as much as it's meant to give you a feeling of being in someone's nightmare.
+Huesos 138 yeah u r right, there are different tastes and different types of horrors (and films generally) but a lot of people complains that they were waiting for a climax and there was no climax...
Huesos 138 I don't understand why people find this movie good. Out of ALL movies I have seen in my entite life this is the very worst one
AFCA 1900 they just explained why, read you daft fool.
AFCA 1900 .BASIC ALERT!!!
It's always the A24 movies that "scars" me
This movie is 9/10 !! It just doesn't relay on jump scares but takes a good 30 minutes to introduce the character and their qualities thab builds up tension in every minute of the rest!
