It absolutely isn't because the first four minutes shows you that there is a literal witch out there up to no-good and then the rest of the movie is people mumbling around and yelling at each other

Lol, looks like I was tricked into watching another paranormal activity movie.

The VVitch sucked. Primarily for the reason Jay stated, they spoiled the movie in the first act. It also has the worst sound design I have ever heard, and the dad was cast by one of those crazy bass competitions with the cars you can't even sit in.

The Witch was great you rubes.

Visually it was good and it did a great job of making really tense moments out of family distrust but holy poo poo it became a loving Looney Tune in the last twenty minutes or so and diffused all of the tension and actual conflict it had spent hours building up in exchange for "witches!!!"

I like how during that trailer for the greasy strangler, all the glowing reviews were from the Daily Mail, The Guardian, and The Huffington Post.

Instead of a witch they should have had a regular old woman. Like maybe the family finds a lodge in the forest, and that old woman lives in its walls. Now that would be interesting to watch. Witches, on the other hand, do not exist in real life, which makes the whole premise of the film very flawed.

Everything Max Landis is involved ends up somewhere between mediocre and awful and he has reached the heights of mediocrity with Dirk Gently.

It's Doctor Who if the protagonists weren't as sanctimonious or schlocky.

Zootopia and Moana had the distinction this year of being the first non-pixar non-cars kids movies that didn't make me want to kill myself from annoyance.

Did they push back the opening of Sing? It seems like they were advertising Pets, Zootopia and Sing at the same time but the studio realized that was too many talking animal movies.

I'll say this about Vicious Lips: The first 20-30 minutes is actually I think a pretty interesting film. If they'd focused on a sci-fi all-girl rock group in space having adventures, it'd be like a live-action 80s anime or even Jem and the Hologram (almost, as JatH wasn't going into space). But the moment they crash on that planet the movie just dies and it never recovers until nearly the end for just a short burst or so. There felt like there was such a better movie with that concept than what we got.

Someone has been working on an Empire Pictures documentary that now that I'm aware of it I'm sort of looking forward to seeing.
