The Witch

Set in New England circa 1630, The Witch follows a farmer who get cast out of his colonial plantation and is forced to move his family to a remote plot of land on the edge of an ominous forest rumored to be controlled by witches. Almost immediately, strange and unsettling things begin to happen-the animals turn violent, the crops fail, and one of the children disappears, only to return seemingly possessed by an evil spirit. As suspicion and paranoia mount, everyone begins to point the finger at teenage daughter Thomasin. They accuse her of witchcraft, which she adamantly denies...but as circumstances become more and more treacherous, each family member's faith, loyalty, and love will be tested in shocking and unforgettable ways.

Let me start by saying that this movie was filmed in a specific way that made you weirded out from the start.  It was as if we were there and watching this family in their regular day to day life and should not be seeing what we were seeing.  Not sure if that makes sense or not but it did give the movie a certain kind of allure to it.  Unfortunately it failed to capitalize on that and the movie pretty much failed.  There were definitely a few scary moments and lots of creepiness but the whole audience pretty much groaned in disappointment when the credits started.  

I wouldn't recommend anyone seeing this.  It was a great filming style but not much more than that.
