Kinda. Just so long as it doesn't end like The Village.

Looks like it might be pretty good.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 88%, based on 16 reviews, with an average rating of 7.2/10. Variety commented "A fiercely committed ensemble and an exquisite sense of historical detail conspire to cast a highly atmospheric spell in “The VVitch,” a strikingly achieved tale of a mid-17th-century New England family’s steady descent into religious hysteria and madness"

I find goats creepy. Anyone else? Maybe it's the Baphomet thing.

 Beelzebub has hooves and goat horns. And goats will chase you up a tree. Evil little beasts. |

Saw this yesterday. Pretty damn good. Probably as close to that Blair prequel as we're likely to see. The film looks great. As a period piece they nailed it. Some of the dialogue was a little hard for me to follow at times. I'm assuming that was accurate 1600s New England speech. Not a scary movie per se, but creepy in places. It's different for sure. Not the usual Hollywood tits and gore horror junk. A slow paced film. No jump scares that I recall. Recommended! Hey look! The goat has his own Twitter account! twitter.com/blackphillip |

The soundtrack isn't bad either. Nice and creepy. You can find it on YouTube if you want to listen.

I absolutely loved this movie. Wonderful detail to the setting. It's up there with The Exorcist and The Shining for me.

Lots of hate out there for this movie. But I liked it. Will be picking up the blu-ray in a couple of days.

I just watched it today and thought it was a really good movie. Especially for a newer film (I am mostly into horror movies from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s). I've seen lots of complaints about it being "too slow" but since I watch a lot of older horror I'm used to films paced like this so it didn't bother me. Black Phillip is a horror icon in the making and the film is worth seeing for him alone.

Black Phillip, Black Phillip
King of sky and land,
Black Phillip, Black Phillip
King of sea and sand.
We are ye servants,
We are ye men.
Black Phillip eats the lions
From the lions' den.

This was an awesome movie that captured the atmosphere of Blair in a prequel-esque capacity. Well made film, just some really boring dialogue

I was psyched for this movie, for the exact reasons mentioned before. Seemed like something an Elly Kedward movie could look like. I found it quite dull though, unfortunately. It starts with a bang, doesn't it? (Witch and baby scene). But that whole black Phillip narrative didn't work out for me. I loved the ambience, the soundtrack was great. But I found the story to be lacking.

LOVE this movie. The atmosphere, sound, and setting really create the horror just like the Shining and Blair Witch. A slow burning movie like this is refreshing when I grew up on mostly lather rinse repeat slashers. Hell, with nothing on today on being stuck inside with Minnesota winter outside I'll have to watch this for the 100th time.
