my hard of hearing ass throughout this entire movie: WHAT? WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?

I am going to go into spoilers so if you haven’t seen it, don’t read on.

The whole film had great build up. The storytelling was great. However were it lost scores for me was how predictable it was. Now, I usually say a film being predictable isn’t a bad thing, but my issue was the whole film felt predictable. I predicted how Black Phillip was the real devil and how Thomasin was being falsely accused. I knew the twins would disappear, based of how the films plot was heading. However, but aside all of this it’s still a great film. Eggers carries over, again, this dark tone, which I’m just going to change to the Eggers tone. The dialogue, rooting back to old English was a pretty bold but in the end the best choice, as many big budget studios would want normal English, which would probably bring down the score of the film as a whole. I thought the ending with her eventually joining the devil, was the best possible route, finally not every film needs a happy ending!

❝I am that very witch. When I sleep my spirit slips away from my body and dances naked with the Devil. That's how I signed his book.❞

❝Corruption, thou art my father!❞

I absolutely loved Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, so I'm really mad at myself for not watching his other films as well. The Witch is wonderfully bleak, tense, and spooky, with brilliant performances from the cast.

Eggers' commitment to ensuring historical accuracy, from the costumes to the dialogue, translates into a completely immersive experience, and I was so engrossed in watching William and his family gradually turn on each other.

The plot was very well-written, and I really liked the way the ending went from zero to a hundred so quickly; the cinematography was also gorgeous, like the use of natural and candlelight, the claustrophobia-inducing 1.66:1 aspect ratio, and the gloomy, cool-toned colour palette. The costumes were fantastic, too, although I would've liked to see more of Black Phillip's outfit in human mode.

Anya Taylor-Joy was excellent as Thomasin, but Ralph Ineson for me was exceptional in this film; he completely nailed the weight of responsibility and wavering faith of a Puritan father trying to keep his family alive, and he stole the show every time he was on-screen. Kate Dickie was also fantastic as Katherine, the grieving mother worn down by life and unfortunately very susceptible to the psychological and religious warfare being waged against the family.

The Witch is a truly exceptional directorial debut; I have to watch Eggers' other films, because if they're all this good, I may have found my next favourite director.
