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.

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 love Horror Movies, This scared me which is saying something! The thrill always is more powerful when it is simply suggested terror. The superstitions of the past always fascinated me. I recommend owning this movie and seeing more than once.

an interesting,dark horror movie,,not everyone is going to like this though..

The Witch is a very very interesting tale of a family degenerating into total madness....I will warn you from the beginning all of the dialogue is in period english an may be a bit hard to understand...so the captions help a lot. The movie is well acted and the story is very good.

Movie is on the sad side. It's sad the family was banished, sad that life back then was very hard , especially if you are going at it alone. How the family ended up was also sad as was the choice made by the older daughter at the end. Movie is also interesting. I like that they used original language/tongue as much as possible and showed how hard life can be for a family. The ignorance of the times is also interesting also and plays a big role in the movie. Overall, worth seeing.

I had seen this film originally on Blu-ray and enjoyed it. That was several years ago. So, when there was a sale on the 4K UHD Blu-ray, I jumped at the chance to pick it up and re-watch it. While the 4K presentation is very good here, with great depth and plenty of detail in the picture, it does lack Dolby Atmos or a DTS-X immersive sound track. Still, the 5.1 does a decent job. If you are a fan of the film, it is worth checking out or owrning on 4K.

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.
