81 I Humans need some kind of guidance to serve their purpose in life. They have the freedom to choose their belief but they cannot tell which one is the right path, only their heart and a bit of hunch could decide it. When they feel it is right to follow that path, they will follow it for the rest of their life. Anything except the path that they believe is darkness and sins. They see the light but they are also blinded by it.
The family on The Witch is moved to a land that they think is cursed after what happened to their baby. The Witch told that premise with such an explicit scene that could make us drop our jaws. The entire film would make us uncomfortable with the way they filmed it. The cinematography perfectly captured the situation in the olden days in England. In addition, the language used in this film is old so it feels like we are brought to the year 1600.
All of the cast in The Witch gives such amazing performances, even the young actors and actresses. Combined with the directorial by Robert Eggers, The Witch is a modern horror that redefines the horror genre. Almost every cinephile praised this film because of how good the art of it is. The imageries in this film are visceral with a lot of meaning and interpretation. Sometimes it looks too much because of how explicit it tried to tell the story.
The Witch is not a universal film, even for horror lovers. Because The Witch is not like most horror films which are heavy on jumpscare or loud music. The Witch more focuses on the dialogue and the interaction between characters. The conflict that revolves around the film is more like a drama genre. That's why some people who hope with some expectation could be disappointing watch this film. But for indie film lovers, guarantee they would love The Witch. The Witch probably does not get enough appreciation from general audiences who watch films for only entertainment. But it is pretty sure well accepted by people who also watch the film as art.
The Witch is a film that made Anya Taylor-Joy get recognition in the film industry. She incredibly gave a great performance as a daughter who was pressured by her own family. Her laugh and pain finished the film with horror and creepiness. She flies to the moon afterward, her career as well.
