I love horror movies. Is it worth a watch?
It wasn't horrible. Doesn't really live up to the hype/exposure it seems to have. But I generally find horror movies silly, so you be the judge.
>>68683354
i honestly think it's the best horror film i've ever seen but i'm prone to hyperbole and get big erections for any decently made horror filck of late
>>68683354
Think jump scare then go to the opposite end of the spectrum.
>>68683354
I just watched this.
I don't get it.
It's perfect.
>>68687102
What don't you get anon?
>>68683354
Just watched it today and found it pretty good. It was a bit too slow, but well done overall.
I expected it to be great, but it turned out to be good. 7/10
>>68687342
Anything. I didn't understand what was happening, or what the movie was trying to say.
>>68683354
Yeah its worth watching>tfw there was no literal witch
>the witch was Thomasin's other persona
>she suffers from multiple personality disorder in a time when men and woman feared everything, and the devil was literally around the corner
>the entire farm was riddled with ergot fungus, which causes hallucinations in people who eat it
>evidenced by the rotten corn, and bread they ate on the farm
>tfw the people only died after Thomasin's perceptions were removed, when her witch persona took over
>she killed the baby, left her brother to die, killed the twins, killed her father, and lashed out at her mother
>tfw she sodomized a goat
>tfw there was no witch's coven in the end, it was just her going out into the wilderness and having her insanity take over

fuck, that makes the movie so much better. I wish i was able to see stuff like this when watching movies. Is there any way to train your ability to read between the lines like that?
>>68687442
a family gets banished. They try to build a farm. it don't work. they all get killed by a witch. the daughter then ends up being tricked by the devil into becoming one. the end.
>>68687487

Yeah it's called making things up. The movie is literal. That pasta has been disproven countless times now.
>>68687442

i think "i don't get it" is becoming a meme

Boring as fuck, cool ending though

Nice but the movie is self-described as a "folktale" so this alternate reality theory doesn't hold much weight. As a folktale, a story originating in popular culture, typically passed on by word of mouth, we're supposed to treat the story as truth even though witches probably are not real and this never actually happened.
>>68687844
Me too, unfortunately.

>>68687838
What's dumb about it? It makes perfect sense, so much sense that it would be retarded to not believe it.
>>68688077
kek
So it's an 'alternate reality' within an 'alternate reality'. How far down does it go bro? To the Jews?
>>68688098
You also think fan theories are canon?
Sure it's a read of the events. It's not based on any facts though. There is nothing in the film to back it up, unlike the literal reading.
this movie is not hard to understand. the epigraph explicitly describes its intent in writing.
it's a collection of folklore transposed into film. a family is outcast and harried by a witch. witches are dicks and satan is powerful. puritan values: man stands no chance outside of the community/church, and young women are susceptible to corruption.
i liked it. the twins were creepy as fuck and son's death is some great acting.
Yeah it absolutely is. The era and the dialogue give it weight. You become immersed fairly easily.
The witch is creepy as fuck. There's a kind of psychological side to the movie, the witch only really shows up like three times but you feel her presence the entire movie
Idk m8 it was extremely good all around. Ending was very slightly awkward but doesn't detract from the whole at all.
>>68687487
And ffs don't listen to this guy
>>68688865
why did you do this
how rude what the heck
it's a great movie, no jump scares or anything. just a feeling of dread as you watch a family get torn apart by their own shame and inherent guilt stemming from religion.
it really captures the bleak environment and it's obvious that survival is more of reflex than done out of any real love for life.
they're all unreliable narrators and from each characters perspective it's obvious who is evil and delusional (hint, it's everyone else).

The witch is Thomassin's vagina
Learn how to fucking spoiler post
>>68688865
Stop looking for scientific answers for supernatural events.
>Then Caleb disappears, gets seduced by the witch so that she...What did she do to him, exactly? And why?
He's a young boy who has been having impure thoughts about his sister. The devil offers him a beautiful woman, and he accepts her. He turns to the devil, which you know because he appears to his mother in a dream offing her the book.
>The mom got tricked (by the Witch?) into...letting a crow eat her tit?
Symbolism there lad. The crow is a manifestation of the devil. Many animals in the movie are, 'evil takes many forms' and that. The crow here symbolizes her nurturing evil.
>The twins just disappeared.
Used by the witches for flying potions. The father looks up, maybe he sees something. The baby was used for the witch to transform herself, so twins were probably used to fly.
>The dad gets killed by Satan goat.
The dad is a moron. Satan uses violence against him to tun him towards evil.
>>68689178
Look bro you can be as autistic as you want but not everyone gives a shit so stop spamming it
>>68687777
I didn't get the "Killed by a witch" part.The baby was stolen and killed by the witch in a very straightfoward way. I got that.
Then Caleb disappears, gets seduced by the witch so that she...What did she do to him, exactly? And why?
The mom got tricked (by the Witch?) into...letting a crow eat her tit?
The twins just disappeared.
The dad gets killed by Satan goat.
I don't doubt that it's my fault, I'm sure the movie makes sense to lots of people. I just don't get it.
Reposting with spoiler tags. Not sure why this post didn't doesn't count, though:

>>68689737
>easily explained
You need to jump to ridiculous conclusions like 'the fungus on their crops acted like acid and made them see hallucinations'. This is the most far-fetched bullshit you could have come up with. What's next? The daughter destroyed the shed and ripped the goats apart with her hands, or did that not happen? if it didn't happen why show it?
What about the baby? Did the wolf get it?. Must have a been a pretty sneaky wolf to literally disappear with a child.
>>68689957
you literally have no idea what ergot poisoning is, how people experienced it. The goats weren't ripped apart, they were cut open yes, but it didn't show them being dismembered at all. Tard rage runs deep and that amount of destruction to essentially a stick house isn't unfathomable. The wolf didn't take they baby, but reread my post and maybe stop believing in folktales that are considered legends and not real in the first place.
>>68689957
No no no, you see the fungus made them think Sam was a really big ear of corn and ate him
>>68689957
>tfw acid is extracted from ergot
>>68690129
Ok first of all you have no proof that it's this ergot poisoning. The corn plays a part in the story. it isn't a clue to something.
The family are banished from a comity. They think they can do without it. They can't. Their crops fail and now they have nothing to eat. Even after this the father refuses to return. He is painted as an egotist. The corn here acts as a metaphor for their lives outside the commune.
Do you have any proof that the corn was contaminated, since there were obviously still quite a few healthy heads left since the father planned to sell it. Why would he sell moldy corn? Nobody would buy it. Were they eating the moldy corn and leaving the healthy stuff to rot? Do you not see the logical gaps in your own argument?
>>68690634
The father says in the movie that the "rot" has pretty much infected their farm, and they don't actually sell any corn. You don't see all the mold on plants, and back then they didn't have the tools to see what plants were truly non-infected. There are no logical gaps in my argument, only in yours when you get so angry over my take on the movie.
>>68683354
It's probably one of the best horror films that has come out in a long time, genuinely well-made with a lot of interesting themes and ideas.
I feel like I can't even read the thread to decide whether to watch it or not cause there's probably a ton of spoilers so I'm just gonna watch it anyways
>>68691144
>The father says in the movie that the "rot" has pretty much infected their farm
Yeah their crops rotted. Any proof that they were infected with hallucinogenic mold?
>You don't see all the mold on plants, and back then they didn't have the tools to see what plants were truly non-infected.
ummmm I'm pretty sure mold is actually easily noticeable. have you ever seen moldy bread? Don't really need a tool to see that it's infected buddy.
>There are no logical gaps in my argument,
>father cutting corn which isn't moldy to sell
>but somehow they're all high from a fungus which would be easily noticeable
The father was high and didn't notice the mold, right?
>only in yours when you get so angry over my take on the movie.
>I don't need proof to back up my opinion, it's just my opinion don't bully me
>>68687140
it is indeed
>>68683354
I think there's definitely a problem with whoever the distributor is. It's not a "The Conjuring" style horror movie where there's supposed to be spooky shit happening a mile a minute to keep you shoveling popcorn into your face, and that's sort of what the marketing has been portraying it as. It's more of a Rosemary's Baby.My honest opinion is that it can only be appreciated by people that truly understand horror.
>>68691446
do it anon, it's one of the most and most original yet classic horror movies made in the last decade. will age very well.
it's goo to see people are taking horror movies seriously again
>>68687415
>It was a bit too slow
How? For me it seemed fast-paced. Like every important event happened right after the other.
>>68691680
agreed
>>68688520
The psychological side of it is very valid given the time period, it was one of the most interesting things about the movie imo.
Once the baby disappears every one feels personally responsible for it in their own ways due to the heavy guilt factor Puritianism was full of, and a lot of the family's downfall can be attributed to the blatant hypocritical nature of the religion itself. The boy was going through puberty and was starting to have feelings for his sister, the mother lost faith in god, the father got them all banished in the first place. The witch took the baby and cursed the boy but ultimately from the way the family reacted to those events it was more their own fault for turning on each other so easily.
Tomasin is the only one throughout the film who actually notices this kind of behavior and calls out the father on the hypocrisy behind his faith. She signs her soul to Satan ultimately out of fear of being blamed and hung for the murders or dying out alone in the wilderness.
>>68691878
not a single thing about this movie is original.
>>68691680
> conjuring
> spooky shit happening a mile a minute
> wat
>>68692552
im a badass i dont get scared
haha yall pussies
>>68692285
every aspect of this movie is original
>>68692285
The realistic portrayal was.
Name another horror movie where they took literal dialogue from the era.
>>68687884
>>68688339
This guy gets it
>>68693011
realistically portraying a time period is not an original idea.
>>68694004
Nothing is an original idea by your definition.
It's not a horror movie though
>>68694068
everything is an original idea by your definition.
> been done before? doesn't matter, it's original.
>>68694130
Yes, it is.
>>68694130
it is, dont try to discredit the genre
You mean is it worth a vvatch? =3
>>68694220
Name one horror movie which lifts dialogue from actual cases of reported witchcraft in the 17th century then.
>>68694222
>>68694239
It's a horror film...
>>68694312
i guess you got me. this movie is original because it took dialog from other sources.
i wish more movies did that. the lifted dialogue from the 17th century was the best part of this movie, definitely. so good. just loved that 17th century dialog so much.
>>68694323
>>68694222
>>68694239
You're all wrong. It's actually a horror kino
>>68694414
Can't accept that you're wrong, huh?
>>68694312
>original
>lifting dialogue
great stuff.
it's an okay flick but really boring and very slow if you like horror then give it a spin OP but otherwise you shouldn't watch it, a lot of the accents are very hard to understand basically very little actually happens in the film
Wanted to see more of this tbqh. Other than that it was great.
>>68694483
adds to the realism and the spookyness.
What does it take away if it's not a good idea?
>>68691971
This. I'm glad someone agrees.
I felt like the movie could have easily exceeded 2 hours and been great like The Shining. A really slow but creepy atmosphere that draws you in.
I guess a lot of people (like me) had the wrong expectations though. Like >>68692277 said, it's much more about the psychology than the existence of an actual witch.
>>68694521
I'd give her the Joy if you catch my drift

i just saw this, until the last scene i thought it was a black comedy, i don't know why they made all the characters and dialogue so silly, it was shit
>>68695335
How is it in any way similar to that?
>>68695459
it isn't
>>68695610
Then why did you imply it was?
>>68695680
i didn't, but it's a horror movie
>>68683354
Wait until the moon runes are removed. It should be coming out pretty soon.

I'm a sucker for innawoods creepy atmospheres, and this movie satisfied that lust for old, dense and forbidden forests.
