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

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.
