Gorgeous film with good acting and some tension, but ultimately it was a little disappointing.

My main criticism is that it relies way too much on "weird sound getting louder LOUDER LOUDER!!!!!!! now suddenly it's quiet". After like the fifth time it was almost comical.

Black Philip was the best actor in the movie.

Still a soft recommend, but not as a horror movie per se. And period accurate or not, I really dislike horror films that devolve into "family members screaming and wailing at each other" a lot, which this definitely does.

Well I mean, I loved Bone Tomahawk though. I just thought the material here was spread a bit too thin, just when something interesting began to be explored the movie would back off. It felt like a 90 minute long trailer, if that makes sense.

Yeah, I can dig it. I definitely don't regret watching The VVitch and visually it's on par with (and similar to) Dead Man so it definitely has that going for it. At times it felt like I was watching a literal nightmare, nightmare dream logic and all.
