The VVitch (2016) - Perils involving goats and home schooled children

i did not clock him at all either! wow

Finchy was the only thing that pulled me out of this movie a bit, because I think I'd only ever seen him in The Office and he'd done such a good job of convincing me that he was a disgusting human being that I was a little taken aback to see him playing something other than a disgusting human being.

Recently at the theater, I saw the main girl from this in two and possibly even three trailers before the movie. Good to see she's getting work.

I like his voice a lot, I appreciate that non-brits and some brits might find his accent hard to understand but I wouldn't change it. Thought he'd be more recognised from Game Of Thrones and Harry Potter. Apparently he's in Guardians Of The Galaxy.

I don't think there's a lot of good folk horror films. There's obviously Wicker Man and I've never been as into that as most people but it's still unique. Blood On Satan's Claw just isn't very good. Can't think of much that slots in that neatly.

guys, i'm seriously getting worried my family room and/or apple tv is haunted because apparently no one else out there has seen this figure in the woods.

I never watched The Office so...who was he playing? The dad?

yes the dad

he play the dad

When does the figure in the woods show up?

the scene when Caleb is in the woods on his own. pans into the shot on the right as he's walking.

or the figure is standing alone in a dark corner of my living room. waiting for me.

Wow, yeah, I just spotted it. That is creepy.

oh thank god.

i didn't go back to check – but there's also the scene where the mother is in her bed praying/sobbing, and you see her through the gap in the curtains – I noticed something moving above her, just barely in the shot. thought maybe it was a mic or some other slip-up; but now i'm not sure – am going to check when i get home.

this was amazing

re-watched this last night, still incredible. what a film.

the final sequence is so masterful and beautifully shot, it makes the payoff ("yes, everything that has been implied IS TRUE") so much more impactful. I don't think it diminishes all the ambiguities - about the nature of sin/redemption, family lies and dissembling, puritan repression/oppression, "wicked" children - at all.

Anything involving the death of children or evil children is hard for my wife to take (altho she agrees this film is great), but I told her hey, she had to kill the entire family otherwise she would never be free of all that puritan bullshit

Had to turn on the subtitles in order figure what the dang was being said, but yeah it was good.

in order to figure out

damn, now I need subtitles

best horror film in recent memory, and it's not really even close

i was hoping the revive would have some news about what eggers has been up to but i had to go look it up myself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lighthouse_(upcoming_film)

agree the final sequence of the vvitch is just about perfect.

this shit was terrifying and unnerving. I watched it right after watching Hereditary. What a nice night I had.

Willem Dafoe as Old

bit harsh

lol

the kid in the possession scene was acting so well I was terrified for him in real life

i wanna watch this again for Halloween

love everything abt this movie

AND i’m going to watch Lords of Salem

Now on Netflix, thinking about revvatching it soon.
