The Witch [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2015]

It was entertaining, kinda slow though. Definitely need to watch with the subtitles on. Kinda hard to make out what they are saying. Great picture quality, and the story was creepy.

They don't make interesting dark/horror movies anymore or at all. This is non of the jump scare that the world is accustom to, it's more on the parallels to hereditary where it builds on dread instead of trying hard to scare the watcher. It is one of those A24 gems that are low budget, simple premise, but acting is of high quality and interesting story if you stay open minded. Besides, it is very cheap worth just buying to diversify your blu ray collection

Tbh I wouldn't bother watching this if youre not a fan of subtitles because they are definitely needed in this film. Also if youre a fan of this one go check out hereditary which is a much better film. This one is still good and creepy though especially if youre religious.

I was a huge fan of The VVitch when it came to theaters, but was very surprised when a 4K was announced. A small indie horror film getting the UHD treatment must've meant the demand for the new format was ramping up and people wanted to see Robert Eggers' film in all it's glory. And it does look better. Much, much better, but still there's some sort of issue with the HDR where it fluctuates in the middle of scenes that were more evenly lit. The Bluray never had this issue. I know because I popped the old disc in as soon as I finished watching this new 4k and did a side by side with another tv. This fluctuation only happens twice or so, but to someone who's watched the film as many times as I have, it was still very noticeable. Other than that minor issue. The new disc is definitely recommended.

I’m impressed by the directors work & the screen writer. He also made the lighthouse & I was also impressed by that. Such a great movie and it’s always nice to hear accents I’ve never heard before.

I was looking for a Salem period witch movie which this is but the plot told from a girl being accused of being a witch didnt keep my interest. Historically very accurate I am told right down to the smallest details. Not your typical horror movie.

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.

One of my favorite horror films that can have multiple interpretations. Acting and setting are spot on for colonial Massachusetts. Only problem I had was that the sound got extremely loud at random portions of the film.
