Not your typical horror, it's much, much better
on April 15, 2016
Posted by: Anonymous
I saw this film in theaters. It's one of the single most terrifying movies I've ever seen. I didn't once scream. I didn't once yell out in surprise. Instead I shrunk into my chair. I squirmed and forced myself to watch. I chewed on my balled up fists. My jaw was slack and "oh god..OH GOD NO" kept slipping out as whispers. The acting is phenomenal, the direction is impeccable and the music is stunningly fitting. The atmosphere is oppressive to the point of almost being a physical force. For days afterwards, I could feel it's repercussions. The entire film felt deeply evil, like I wasn't supposed to watch it. The most unsettling scene in the movie in my opinion has little to no blood or violence in it. It's the supreme skill of acting of everyone involved that makes you feel their helplessness against the supernatural force that's tormenting them that makes it so deeply disturbing.
There was a rumor in the 70s and 80s that the evangelist Billy Graham had told his followers that every print of The Exorcist had a demon possessing every copy of the movie and watching the movie would allow that demon into your life to torment you. The Witch just may have such a demon attached because it seeps into your subconscious and the images and story haunt you for days afterwards and as such, should not be viewed by anyone who likes sleeping well.
This film doesn't rely on jump scares, or gore or peril. It digs much deeper and will unnerve and disturb you like no other film can.
I would recommend this to a friend!
