The Witch

       This was an absolutely outstanding effort and felt like such a fresh breath of Horror air. I had high hopes from all the advanced screenings and it never let me down. Even though shit splatters and hits the fan in the last 20 minutes, what is most unsettling about this is the family dynamic that occurs as the element of conflict and chaos ensue. When terror strikes, who can you really trust? What will people around you, even those considered close do to save their own asses? The scariest movies in my opinion aren't the ones with vampires, zombies, or mass murderers who just won't die despite being slayed in every entry. It's the human elements that I find to be the most bone chilling, as you find that those around you morph into these creatures that you have never experienced before, but ones that strike to the core when panic and desperation take over. Let The Witch cast a spell on you, as you will find yourself entranced up until the credits roll.

4/4
