This was better than The Shining.

obvious bait anon try harder
It wasn't a bad movie, but it's highly overrated. Would have been much better if the ending wasn't ass.

>tfwthere 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

Are you that moron who thinks that showing flying witches ruins the movie?

It's because this film stylistically is basically a remake of The Shining.
Robert Eggers has confessed to this several times in interviews.
>>68633942
It's not even remotely similar in any way except MAYBE the soundtrack, but then again most horror movies nowadays sound similar to The Shining
>>68632579
No, I'm the guy that thinks Thomasin wasn't developed enough to a point where we can sympathize with the choices she made in the end.
watching this movie was like paying for a porn website, you can fap but you still feel scammed
>>68634565
Stylistically it is, but in subtle ways. Eggers said he studied The Shining exhaustively as a blueprint to understand horror film-making techniques. In one interview I believe he said something (when speaking about his own film) like, "it reeks of The Shining".

she is so cute speaking in argie spanish
No it very wasn't.
It would be Shining tier if things which were terrifying and unexplained happened dramatically for no seemingly no reason.
Like those native indians from the split second we saw at the start, if Thomasin inexplicably saw a horrible vision of them slaughtering the two white goats. That'd be pretty Shining tier. There was also a cut scene where Black Phillip mounts and mates with one of those goats too. I think a scene of Jonas watching that would be pretty fucked up.
The Shining is really the only film that the Witch can be compared to.

>here's my analysis
>the main character was crazy and it was all a delusion
So deep
Of all these indie horror/thriller films, The Invitation is the best one.
The VVitch and The Guest are ok, creep and It Follows are meh and the Battery fucking sucks.

Just because he said it doesn't make it so. It's far more similar to Bergman's movies I'd say, especially his horror movies.
>>68635070
Actually I really think you should give a director the benefit of the doubt. He knows better than you do. It's strange that you would presume to know better than him.
I too don't see the similarities, and I find Grandrieux's Un Lac (proper patrician shit) to be the closest film in substance to this one; it also has a similar atmosphere.

>tfw no Witch ever seduced you when you were young
>>68631240
>implying The Shining was even spookino
It was just a regular supernatural thriller with a rotten rotting old lady.

I disagree with the idea that the artist holds sole control over the artwork. Woody Allen thought Manhattan was awful and pleaded with the studio not to release it, even offering to do a movie for free for them if they'd shelve it. I, and many others, think Manhattan is Allen's best movie. Does this make us wrong?
Sometimes the artist doesn't always see the same things as their audience. I didn't say I know better than him in this case, I just said I disagree with his statement. An artist isn't always going to be correct and it's good to challenge them.

>director uses a movie for inspiration when making something new
>some fucking retard on 4chan insists that he didn't for some reason
Are you serious right now?
The VVitch and The Shining are practically cinematic siblings. They share at least half a dozen traits.
