The Witch

girl wtf

8.1/10
-this one was hard to rate, until i read an explanation
-i hate the twins, they’re the worst
-makes total sense how so much devotion to something can lead a person to leave it behind when it all falls apart
-self awareness is very important

Definitely a horrifically traumatising watch. If a movie makes you physically utter sin, then thou has won. Eggers is easily one of my all-time favourite horror directors. The rawness really gets under your skin. I did think some scenes were far too raw, but it's forgiven. The dialogue, score, and production made me feel secluded, always waiting for something, just to be blown away by the acting and teased by the genius in escalation. I just can't get over how disturbing this is, all while feeling grand. I'm both admired and astonished by this, but I'll never watch it again. I just can't.

5/5 - they should’ve stayed in england.

beautifully shot, absolutely chilling sound design, & a gripping story; all round another absolute wondrous film from robert eggers.

7.5/10
