“Dark, atmospheric period horror that builds unbearable tension through authentic dialogue and paranoia instead of cheap scares.”

“One of the best movies I've ever seen. The acting, the lighting, the writing were all divine. Also, even though this is a horror movie, I liked it because I'm a bit of a scaredy cat. I don't like horrors that have a bunch of gore or jump scares.”

“'The Witch' , Robert Eggers' feature directorial debut, is very good! I enjoyed all of these 90 minutes, I could've watched it go on for a little longer in truth. I really liked the atmosphere throughout, as well as the look of the film. The dialogue is particularly excellent, too.”
