no thanks. After having to suffer through It Follows and Session 9 I'm never taking /tv/'s advice on horror again

You can read all the words to the twins creepy ass song. Watch it again with subtitles you'll enjoy it more

no they weren't

It Follows is a 100% generic teen horror bullshit that takes its premise from college weed parties. Session 9 has a good base but the production is beyond terrible, it looks and sounds like it was shot on a 1980s home video camera and because of that it misses all the cues

>>70836909

The witch would be 10/10 if solely based on dialogue, costumes, ambience, score, characters, actors.

Sadly it falls flat based on one tiny little minor detail:

>the fucking plot

Its so poorly written I dont even know if I should say "It could have been great", or simply say "its terrible".

The witch pissed me off. It had potential.

Plus, fuck the feminist allegory.

This is MY personal interpretation based on my initial reaction to the film and to the responses Ive heard from some women IRL who praised in on the "empowerment factor":

>Man doesnt want to abide by social rules
>takes his family and moves to the woods (social exlcusion of women, aka sheltering)
>daughter is a work horse and slaves away for the oppressive parents
>is blamed for the theft of the baby (responsibility and guilt of being a woman, aka "behave and do as youre told")
>eventually the little brother desires her sexually (rape culture)

This is getting long...

>father asks her if shes a witch (or has sinned whatever, which essentially is trying to keep her prudish and proper, aka dont fuck and dont do shit I dont allow)
>mother wants to mold her into a proper woman (or she wont find a respectable man to marry)
>eventually she disobeys her father, gets her little brother killed or w/e (meaning that making her own choices is suddenly an option)
>bla bla bla everyone dies
>she goes into the woods and leaves her family behind (a metaphor for essentially "having to leave your family behind" in order to be able to live life free and devoid of responsibilities and "rules", like being a whore giving your family a bad name for example)
>joins group of witches in the wild doing naked dances etc. (allegory on nuclear family and society being oppressive and women having to forcibly and violently having to escape to become the women they want to be, aka sluts)
>>
>>70838474
Feminist hogwash, just ignore it.

First off its a fantasy movie. Second I believe they are trying to show the modern audience how it was to live during back then and at the same time incorporate some myths that shaped social landscape.

>empowerment factor
I don't see how living as a witch, serving the devil and preying on the weak is empowering, you ought to tell them that if you ever get the chance imo

But then again I guess that might be what they see as empowering?
>>
>>70838830

Thats the beauty of it.

To women being "free" is appealing, but in the long run, they will sell their soul to the devil.

This film was not very literal IMO.

Always put on subtitles because someone or something might pop up and talk or interrupt you

Jesus Christ must everything be tainted by SJW? The fucked up part is a lot of those ideas make sense when you think about it but only a feminist would look at the movie like that.

Any witch-related piece of fiction from any time of history would take that direction I'm sure. The difference would be with which strength they remind us that witches are damned and forever the slaves of Satan, a powerful male entity.

because it was black phillips plan all along to have thomasin, he wanted to destroy the family from the inside out first so she had nothing left to do but join him. she always had the potential to be a Witch, which explains her repenting in the beginning of the film for "breaking all the ten commandments in thought" and also telling that awfully specific "i'm a witch" story to the twins.
>>
>>70838474
the actress said something about how she thinks its a feminist movie but though she thinks the director had no intention in doing so. he just wanted to make a horror movie.

fucking lame stale ass dialogue

What does the title card say? "A New England Folktale". It's not meant to be ambiguous or complicated. Think of it like you're being told a story at bedtime or in a classroom. The movie has a very straightforward lesson.

What's the first scene in the movie? William think he's better and more pious than the village counsel, and says he's happy to be banished. This leads directly to his baby being kidnapped. He ignores this and ignores that his wife is beside herself with misery because of his actions.

The movie is mostly a catalogue of his lies and hypocrisy and how his poor example spreads to the rest of the family. He lies constantly, about the cup, about hunting, and encourages also his son to lie, even as he tells him to memorize how his soul is riven with sin. Even his baby is filled with sin, in his mind, yet the sin we witness is his constant hypocrisy.

Things spiral out of control. The children accuse each other, but only because they've learned how to lie for their own safety when convenient, and out of a sense of real danger that their parents will harm them if they're found to be consorting with the devil. They're right to turn on each other! It's only natural in a house as mad as this.

The father dies, killed by Black Phillip. Why does he accept his death? "Corruption, thou art my father".

And so Thomasine, left with nothing, turns to the only source of authority and shelter left to her: the evil present in the house. But they had every chance to turn away from evil, to scorn hypocrisy. They didn't.

So what's the moral of the story? False piety is no substitute for moral substance. Very straightforward, very unambiguous.

No, it looks like it was shot on early digital 24P, which it was, because that was really the only option at the time other than film, which would have fucked up the budget.
