Title: THE WITCH: A New England Folktale
Post by L.A. Connection on Mar 4th, 2016 at 2:44am
liked the movie. There were all of 7 people in the theater which was disappointing, but, at least the talking and texting was kept to a minimum - save for some ahole's cell phone ringing during the climax of the movie!  >:(

I appreciated the setup, the acting and the mood of the piece. For the most part, it played out more as historical drama than a straight horror movie. And, that's where my problems lie. It seemed as though the movie was constructed around the idea of showing the isolated family drama as a microcosm of the Salem Witch trials. But, the ending goes off into a more blood & thunder direction that I didn't feel quite meshed. It's still a solid effort that deserves much much better than the C minus rating it got on Cinemascore from general audiences.
