A really atmospheric and creepy film that doesn’t attempt to hide its horror in ambiguity or metaphor - there is definitely a witch out there and she is not messing around. This could so easily have gone in a different direction, but Eggers is more interested in depicting the paranoia and fear that engulfs the family as they struggle to comprehend what they are dealing with rather than focusing on external forces that are out to get them. The cinematography and brilliant score help to create a real sense of dread throughout the film, and ending, whilst divisive, is certainly unlikely to be forgotten.
