Is it worth watching? Also movies that genuinely scared you.
The end was quite unsatisfying and the movie did not really explain anything going on or why.
It's a hit or miss with people it seems. I get the argument for both sides but I didn't regret pirating it.
>>17740283
Its the scariest movie in the world if you are a Christian. Few epic scenes with the rest dead slow! Heard on /tv/ someone said the girl behind him in the theatre said "I pissed my pants!" and ran out of the theater lulz.
>>17740334
End was awesome WTF are you talking about!?
>>17740334
In an age where we demand over-explanation and simplification of our movie plots, I welcome one that deals with the horror of the unknown.
I liked the twins, they were so happy and funny
Witch has that creepy vibe mixed in with old time before tehnology so it trully gets to your basic fears of the unknown.10/10 creepy drama with few horror elements( no jumpscares) worth a watch definetly...even a re-watch
>>17740283
I liked it. The olde English was a little difficult to understand, especially from the dad. It was pretty cringeworthy and creepy.
>>17740283
>tfw get to live deliciously
I got pretty immersed in the atmosphere so I thought it was quite satisfying
Boring as fuck and basically two hours of misery porn.
>>17740355
>Its the scariest movie in the world if you are a Christian.
strange. because i found the puritan christianity the most disturbing thing. very creepy
>>17740283
I definitely liked it, but I don't think it's for everyone.
>>17740334
how the fuck did you not understand? Must everything be simplified for you simple folk?
>>17740697
Honestly. Hahaha it was pretty clear the whole time imo
>>17740368
>BAHHH BAHHH BAHHHHHH
>>17740355
Just watched it today and Meh. Surprised it got such great reviews.
>>17740283
It's a movie about butter. I liked it.
>>17740684
Same here brah but I follow the ancient Left Hand Path.
>>17740283
It was dope
>>17740334
The ending was the best parr
>>17740792
Yeah but that one part was epic! Lets just say baby; don't want to spoil anything.
It's worth watching but not worth paying for. Underage /x/-philes and /tv/ kino-philes both adore it because it's their most recent exposure to horror that doesn't rely on jump-scares or a completely half-baked plot. The film only benefits from its lack of competition, and gets its rave reviews from the ignorance of its audience. Watch 'The Wicker Man', 'A Field In England', or 'Witchfinder General' instead of this pseudo-arthouse, pseudo-horror schlock. All it can do is "borrow" from New England folklore and ape the themes and aesthetics of superior films.
>>17740283
It's a good movie, but it tries too hard to be a great movie.
Literally just finished watching it. It us NOT a horror film. It's a film about a poor family bring tortured, it's just depressing.
>>17740683
This guy gets it, it's misery porn. Watch if you want to see people be miserable.
>>17740283
this was definitely a more psychological horror movie. i.e., it wasn't so much the supernatural but the breakdown of the character's reality.
ad as much as i'm getting tired of those, i will say this; the movie was unarguably dark. it went places with sound and simple visuals that cultivated a serious sense of dread.
it's worth checking out.
>>17740355
>obviously written by someone who WAS christian but hates it now.
you must have never met some of the nuns i've had to deal with in catholic school.
those bitches fear nothing other than the devil himself screaming in their face, in the depths of hell, while Jesus shrugs and says "sorry, you're screwed."
Stupid question but why the VV instead of a W? Is it just a stylistic choice or is it significant?
>>17741020
Colonial-era printing presses used two 'v' characters instead of 'w'. Robert Eggers, however, used it to be 2deep4u.
It was okay but the ending was poop. Definitely higher quality than the usual drivel but nothing special.
>>17740989
Being exiled like that was usually a death sentence anyway. Puritans did some ridiculous shit.
>>17740902
Just a note, watch the older Wicker Man. The newish one with Nick Cage is more like a comedy horror (still amazing if you love stupid movies)
>>17741020
The V block for a printing press could cover 3 letters. V, W, and U.
If you're not jumpscare fan, it's interesting movie
**SPOILER**
"[spoiler]I don't understand why some of you didn't understood ending, girl wanted to convince herself it was all devil's work. And as stories like these, she got deceived into selling her soul so she could get all materialistic stuff she longed for after they left England[/spoiler]"
IMO, this movie would look cool with retro/vintage effect
>>17740902
you're so pretentious i can smell it from here
>>17740334
I legitimately don't understand what you don't understand. The movie pretty much explained everything.
>>17740989
You clearly don't understand what a horror film is.
The Blair Witch Project still legitimately scares me. I recommend watching Curse of the Blair Witch first, THEN the main feature afterward for the best experience.
>>17740283
I really liked it for it's own sake, it's a relatively smart and interesting movie.. and being a person who's worked in this field i definitely noticed and appreciated how it incorporates some very legitimate metaphysical phenomena..
>>17741209
blair witch project scares me too.. always has. maybe even more so in recent years the more "in" i became
The ending disappointed me. In fact, if they had left out the Witch all together, it would've been much more effective psychologically. It could've been a great mindfuck of a movie.
>>17740334
I agree with you on the ending, it was pretty shitty compared to the whole movie up to that point. But it was better than it follows, that movie is hit from beginning to start
>>17740684
>edgy as fuck
>>17741207
Neither do you my friend
>>17740363
same
>>17740283
I expected something scarier but most of the time it was boring as fuck drama, get's better towards the end though.
Also i want to fuck that cute blonde girl so damn hard, she is beautiful.
>>17740784
>Height comparison
>Marilyn is in heels
>Jesus is slouching
>Napoleon and Obama both shifting weight, altering apparent height
What the fuck IS this?
>>17740283
For being so fucking hyped this almost sucked as much as the babadook.
>>17742107
Wasn't huge on The Babadook's SFX, but the rest of the film was great IMO. Did a great job of showing the paranoia that often goes hand-in-hand with experiences connected to the supernatural.
>>17742115
It was an elaborate feminist propaganda. The movie did not have the dread going for it, the same way as it Follows did, because the fucking supernatural things were so few and far between. It was just kids screaming at each other "you're the witch" which of course daddy took seriously because he's a nutcase Christian, right?! Bull skit.
This better be good, /x/
>>17742658

hahaha mate you sound like a right fucking twat, you either have no friends or theyre just as pathetic as you.
>>17742838
Why u projecting kid?
>>17741209
Arguably the worst ending in a horror movie ever though
>>17740784
An imperial, high elf, red guard, and nord usual suspects
>>17740802
Yess
No, shit is trash. Could've been good, had potential, all comes apart in the last 15 minutes with maybe the worst movie ending ever?
>>17742100
>Jesus is slouching
>Jesus is standing like a faggot
>>17742908
How is that not the greatest ending ever? You must be a fag.
I went to see it with my boyfriend, but because I'm not a native english speaker I didn't understand half of what was being said (even then, it was pretty clear what was going on). I found it very atmospheric though, great cinematography. If you're looking for a scare it's not that kind of movie, though.
idk my impression is that they tried to go for something scary but ended up with something far more atmospheric that still works pretty fine.
>>17742658
Ya dun goofed, anon.
this was hella good. glad i rented.
>>17741738
Same. I'd wreck.
>>17741738
exactly my opinion of the movie
also checked for fetty wap
Why does /x/ usually have shit taste? Whenever there's some piece of media to come out worth a damn that's in our wheelhouse and someone points it out, why are there so many anons with pure shit taste who say it isn't anything special. What the fuck do trolls like this actually like? What's a "good" movie to them? Honestly.
>>17743327
>rented.
>copper sound emulate from ye.
Must be the coin.
>>17740334
Since you have to be spoon fed like a child i'll explain to you. After the loss of her family, Thomasin summons Black Phillip and signs his book pledging her soul to him. She then strips off her worldly possessions and then is led to join a witches sabbat. She then flys off into the night to do witch stuff. The End. Are you satisfied now, retard?
>>17740902
I like people with strong opinions, and know you'll have the same tastes as me because you also like Daniel Danger artwork. So I'm going to watch those movies.
>>17742856
How so?
>>17743456
You sound like an elitist, retarded nigger. Please, don't forget to kill yourself before going to bed tonight, aids-ridden piece of filth.
>>17743481
End yourself, faggot lord.
>>17743549
Remember to take your heart medication, you'll pop the ol' boy.
>>17740283
The shinning. The feeling of isolation and desperation it gave to me was awful. Loved it though.
>>17743456
Agree. X's got surprisingly bad taste in movies.
This was a GREAT fucking horror film. The ending was trippy as fuck and great. People who couldn't follow the dialogue can't speak English and should be sterilized.
/thread
I really don't get the people who claim to be horror fans who didn't like it. I am kind of a history buff who read a lot about witches and stuff when I was a teenager, so that may have been part of why I enjoyed it so much, but also, I think maybe not so many people can appreciate the idea of a extremely religious family, being exiled from their community and moving all alone out into the creepy as fuck woods of New England. It reminded me a lot of The Shining in a few ways. One was the total isolation of the family, another was the amazing visuals of the surrounding nature. The score also seemed similar to me, and then also the fact that even when nothing graphic or supernatural is happening, it's just creepy and gives you this feeling of dread.
The production wa ssolid, the sets, the costumes, the cinematography, the score, all top tier. The acting was solid as well.
I guess I can kind of understand why people had a problem with the ending. I saw it in the theater with a friend of mine, and we were both pretty drunk, but I think the screen was too dark, because neither of us saw Black Phillio shape shift at all. And I thought the ending was good because it felt like a natural progression from the rest of the movie, and a complete ending to Thomasin's arc. Another friend of mine had a problem with the ending because he thought it was cheesy. He said that through the resin of the movie, you hardly ever see anything actually supernatural. The disappearance of the baby is too fast to be explained, but you don't actually see anything. He claimed that everything you see can somehow be explained until you get to the end. This is where we differ because I think that makes the ending wrap the whole thing up tight, and he said it made it seems silly, but whatever.
I thought the movie was GOAT. Baah Baah Baah

The Old English dialogue I didn't have a problem with in the theater, but I suggest watching it with subs in your own homes, as this is a low budget film, the sound mixing is not great.

>>17740283
Lords of Salem was the last thing I watched which actually scared me, even if it was only for a bit. I'm just really into horror filmmaking so I kind of ruined these things for myself.
>>17744080
I loved it, and I'm glad I got to see it in a packed theater. I was more unsettled by the religious stuff than scared, but I'd sign Black Phillip's book, lol. I did a piece on Bloody Disgusting a few weeks back about "how important are scares to horror movies," after the negative reaction The Witch was getting by some horror fans just because some idiots didn't think it was scary enough.
>>17744090
Lords of Salem actually good!? Tried watching it and it didn't feel professional like the witches seemed like actors like hell they probably real witches trying to act or something you know like they know them in real life or something or the person doing casting isn't a pro and just a friend or they did it. Halloween was so legit. I guess I should give it a chance.
>>17744090
So jelly you saw it in a packed theatre. I was like when does it come out... oh shit its out and ran to the movies; 5 other people there. Yeah the christian shit was the scariest!
>>17744108
Believe me, Lords of Salem is basically The Witch in RobZombie-vision, but in modern times. I'd actually suggest a double-feature with both films for maximum spoops. Give it a chance, but it isn't for everybody. It's not as subtle as the Witch, but still carries the same Kubrick influence. I'm a big fan of Zombie's movie, more so than his music, but I doubt he'll make something as good as LoS any time soon.
Fun fact: the witch neighbors are actually the actresses that played Magenta and Columbia from Rocky Horror Picture Show!
And things feel so much more intense when the people beside you are gasping and screaming, though it gets awkward when some random bloke begins laughing for no good reason.
>>17740902
I like all those mentioned and The Witch, great atmosphere, really unsettling, breath of fresh air, soundtrack really unsettling, 9/10. Well worth seeing A Field In England.
It's typical Christian garbage, unoriginal and boring as fuck, 3/10
I have yet to see a mainstream movie that isn't garbage, typical over hyped piece of crap
>>17744189
>>Weird period piece in period language is mainstream
Filthy casual
>>17744080
Horrorfag here. I wanted to like this film, I really did. I think it succeeds in telling the story it wanted to tell, but ultimately fails as a horror movie. The atmosphere is strong, and the attention to period detail is fantastic. But to the seasoned viewer it falls apart as setting up for something legitimately scary.
The New England witch tale is nothing new in cinema. Pic related. These types of movies are typically dependant on the oppressive aesthetic of colonial America. It's a well worn trope that is used in everything from Lovecraft's work to fucking Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. While The Witch has this aspect down pat, it's lacking in any truly striking imagery. A movie needn't shoehorn in a jumpscare to accomplish something jarring and memorable, but the boogeyman in this movie is so vague and ill defined you spend more time chewing the myriad subtext than you do figuring out what the fuck you're supposed to be afraid of. There are no peaks and valleys here, the entire movie is a downward slope. By the time shit starts hits the fan for real I had grown to dislike the entire cast of characters and couldn't really care enough about them to give a shit about their plight, further divorcing the story from any horrific aspect.
It's not a bad movie, if you like period-centric fantastical tragedies. It might even work as a novel or short story, but as a horror movie it's simply not scary.
>>17744336
I understand and respect your criticism but honestly I felt like the movie was asking a lot of the viewer. I think it wants you to crawl into and inhabit the headspace of someone raised in the culture it portrays. Someone who believes a real, physical devil lives just out of sight in the woods. A world where a simple ritual or lack thereof could damn you and all you know to eternal hellfire. A bleak internal landscape bereft of hope or solace. The horror comes from trying to understand these people and their feelings.
imho
>>17744336
I actually quite agree with you, but still liked the movie. That slow downward slope was a nice change of pace for me than so much other horror, it was really "comfy" to be slowly enveloped by the darkness of the film, I really felt drawn into it - yeah, to a degree it was misery porn, but that suited me at the time and I'd watch it again if in the mood - expecting to greatly enjoy it. I honestly thought that the monster in the film was the father, the imagery kinda struck me (pic related) the path to the devil was one of enlightenment.
>>17742658
Have a nice nap.
>>17740334
yeah, i had so much questions about the end
>>17744542
Speak them, for I had none!
Its not special. Its just a slow, very slow, paced burn that doent amount to much. Its a below average movie that would of made more sense as a VOD or straight to DVD release. 4 outta 10, ill nevah watch again. Saw it in theatres, that was probably my first mistake. Maye ida liked it more if i hadn't of payed 20+ dollars.
>>17741728
>Edgy
But he's right you fucking mong, wonder why no one are puritans anymore? Because it was batshit insane. If you weren't predestined to go to Heaven.. well then you're just fucked enjoy Hell
>>17743551
Eat shit and die, bitch. If I ruined the movie movie go cry about it.
>>17743456
Because it was released in major theaters and wasn't made with a budget of a coffee mug, and a shoestring like "the pros"
>>17740283
Amazing movie.
>>17743456
Are you implying I should say The Babadook is good? That, I cannot do.
>>17743456
>waah people have opinions
The movie OBJECTIVELY SUCKED. End of fucking story.
What a damn snoozer this movie was. It Follows was superior in every sense.
>>17743040
Don't worry. I'm a native English speaker and I didn't understand half of what they were saying either. They were speaking a very very old dialect of English that nobody uses any more.
As for the quality of the movie, I thought it was pleasantly creepy, but the friend I was with said it just felt "wrong" and like he "shouldn't be watching this". Might have something to do with the fact he's religious and I'm an atheist?
This movie made me want a deaf gf
>>17744948
Tell her to shut up?
>>17744746
I'm not sure that you understand what 'objectively' means..
>>17744557

>>17741148
Every film with Nick Cage is a comedy...
>>17740668
Exactly what did. And the fact that I was under the influence made even more spoopy. I had to pause and go out a couple of times for some air.
>>17744336
>>17744356
This.
I didn't find the movie scary at all.
My girlfriend who is normally the strong one when it comes to horror movies, like she doesn't flinch at jumpscares and has never even liked a horror movie, was freaked out.
The difference being I've never even been to church and she's very religious on the downlow.
If you truly believe in the devil hiding just out of sight then this movie will put you ill at ease.
>>17740283
I fell asleep 3 times during this "horror".
It's a very interesting film if you have any knowledge of traditional or sabbatic witchcraft, the Man in Black, and so on. I personally loved it.
I enjoyed it, but it was a mistake to ask my roommate if he wanted to watch with me.
The whole time he was complaining about not being able to understand their thick accents.
He even pulled out his fucking phone for the second half of the film until I kicked him out of the room.
Immersion was ruined on that day.
Almost every movie /x/ has ever recommended, aside from one (Lake Mungo), has been fucking shit.
Also, I just want a decent Lovecraft story film with a good budget. Maybe Shadow Over Innsmouth.
>>17740283
It's good, but it's really unsubstantial. It feels like half a movie.
Too much drama too little horror. The trailer was way scarier.
>>17740283
Interstellar is the most recent movie that's genuinely frightened me
>>17747576
The problem is it's hard to do lovecraft right in a way that would make the movie reasonably profitable because of how surreal all the "monsters" are and the concept of sanity being hard to accurately depict.
>>17740283
If you have taste, you'll love it. Its a fantastic movie with a lot of depth to it. Its got horror, but more importantly its a moody dark suspense period piece.
Some here say they found it boring, and that's because they're used to watching shit like Unfriended and Paranormal Activity. If you enjoy those movies, The Witch isn't for you.
>>17740283
You should watch it fallows I was on the sfx team, I got a dumb name find me

>>17751276
Just keep working on 'Nosferatu', Roger Eggers. Maybe you'll have better luck copying something other than folklore.
>>17740283
it was slow and boring as fuck. thats my opinion, im more of a blood and gore type of guy.
>>17751293
What are your thoughts on 'Hostel'?
>>17751305
first one was ok. mostly into 70's-90's horror (bloodfeast, cannibal holocaust,dead alive etc) exploitation and cult films. the vvitch had and awesome atmosphere but it was just too slow,boring for my taste. to each his own
>>17751288
Did this mean something to you? Also name a horror movie not "copied" from folklore.
Having shit taste isn't necessarily bad. I've enjoyed plenty of lowbrow movies and books over the years but panning something as "boring" because you're to lazy to engage with it and think is bullshit.
>>the accent was too hard to understand..yes English is my first language

Otherwise I agree
The Witch sucked. There was only one part near the very beginning that was creepy.
>>17748489
This is a really good movie, much better than The Witch. It Follows actually resonated with me for a few days after I saw it.
good watch, not scary
> pseudo-arthouse, pseudo-horror schlock
Exactly. The only people I see who claim to like it are pretentious teens and twenty-somethings who think they are "deep" for liking it or some shit.
I saw it at a movie theatre in Detroit and after the movie was over all the black theatre patrons were like "aww hell's naw, thas sum em night shymalmalon sheet right there!" They were the most entertaining part of the whole experience.

>muh payoff
>I'm braindead
>>17748489
nah, this movie was bad. very thin metaphor in place of anything of interest and definitely in place of anything scary. The whole movie was just a metaphor for something else and it wasn't even subtle about it. Like an hourlong advertisement about cancer awareness
>>17744183
It's an anti-Christian movie. Did you watch the movie at all?
>>17744189
Not mainstream at all.

You completely misunderstood the movie if you thought the end was bad.
It was a 10/10 ending.
>>17759014
Because it was fap-fodder?
>>17743668
The shining was ok at best. Far too confusing and way to many hidden messages packed into it, which took away from the main story line. Although, I did an interesting theory that it was a subtle way for Kubrick to admit that he faked the moon landing, but could no longer admit to it and what he dealt with as consequences
>>17740283
>The Witch
The movie is 4/10. A horror film is supposed to be scary.
>>17759931
>He doesn't realize 'The VVitch' is actually 10/10 horror-comedy-kino
>>17743481
People that didn't understand the end of this movie are literally shit-tier garbage lords.
>>17759978
I didn't understand why they made the flying scene look so silly. Was it symbolic?
I didn't enjoy it.
It's slow. Very slow. It was advertised as a high paced horror movie but it's more of a "suspenseful" drama, up until the last 30 minutes. And the last 30 minutes and the ending are just a huge let down.
It could have been a great movie. But I think they were too afraid of being "generic" that they actually became generic, and boring, and ended up with a movie that is not what it was supposed to be.
>>17759990
Damn fine trailer, though.
>>17759994
The trailer was actually better than the movie man.

He'll probably argue with me.
I think it was symbolic in that the girl was actually abused by her dad, in fact that may be why they were kicked out of the village, is because he was having an incestuous relationship (the twins being the daughter's.)
Like, he was a good natured guy. But his morals were a little wonky. And his wife was ok with it all as well.
Like the entire scene with the son starting to talk was meant to be as sexual as it sounded, because it was reflecting the father (god.) towards his daughter (and maybe son.)
Dunno though. There were a ton of "in the family" sexual references throughout the movie.
So the ending was her "rebelling" literally and metaphorically because her entire idea of God was related to her dad, and her mother's most likely condoning of her father's actions.

this pretty much
the intro was so fucking great, but the rest of the movie was bland. At least they tried something original, so kuddos for that, but at least for me Babadook and The Witch are not only better "horror" movies, but better movies overall
The witch had everything I search in a movie, great acting, passing, camera work, ambience, sound design, the mood, script, really well done and with memorable characters
It Follows had an invisible monster and really bland metaphors

Personally I think they are all equally not good. In my opinion. I can see why someone would like each movie, even It Follows, but I just thought all three were pretty much failed attempts at being unique.

>>17760173
no no -- Trumpfags most certainly are cucked by Trump, that's a fact. In fact, I would call it the largest form of mass hypocrisy in the past 100 years.
>>17742856
Yeah thank god we have American Horror Story
>>17760189
And Berniefags and Hillary supporters are somehow...better?
I also don't see how Trump is indicative of hypocrisy. Do you hate Freedom, son?
>>17760173
Perhaps; yet, from my experience, the kind of people who follow boastful, charismatic leaders who make much more noise than sense are usually the weakest ones. They love empty displays of "power" because they have none in themselves.
>>17744746
>I just found this this word the internet, objective! I'll use it on 4chan, that'll show them!
>>17760195
I like Trump. But I don't think I'm weak. I just see him as less of a risk to our nation. At worst he'll be a seat warmer for 4-8 years. At best, he's half as good as he says he is and I hope he is, and we get a bit of our nation's former solidarity back. Because all the other guys are status quo fags or Bernie Cuckers, and want to divide the nation further.
>>17748422
Too bad it's 2001 but with a normie Hollywood ending.
>>17760192
They like their candidates, they don't worship them. The fact that you're not allowed to even question Trump's views on things just shows how weak his arguments and supporters actually are. They project themselves onto him, wishing they all of the same "alpha" traits that they prop him up to have. Everyone else is always at fault, never him. He's never made any mistakes, that's just media bias. His extremist views don't need to be defended, because he makes silly faces while he says them. So yes, in the modern internet-sense of the word, he's cucked his fans.
>>17759926
>appreciating silly conspiracy theories more than the film
What's confusing about it? The dad goes mad and tries to kill his family. There's no need for an explanation of the shining and the dead twins.
>>17760203
I don't even think he'd be a terrible leader; and either way, I'm not American so what do I care. However, that doesn't contradicts my point: the vast majority of Trump supporters (not all, but still) are apolitical 'murican sheep who just love how loud and in-your-face he is; ask them to name just one of his propositions, and you'll be lucky if they say "build a wall on the border".
>>17760210
I questioned the fuck out of his policy ideas. And I've met a lot of his supporters that were very intelligent. I think you may be the one projecting here. Most of Bernie Faggers' fans are people that can't deal with reality and want a hand to hold, and Hillary's support comes from people who want her because she's "a woman." or "BILL WILL BE BACK IN" or "She'll be just like Obama."
Every candidate has fans that are fucking retarded, because the majority of any population is full of retards.
And bias IS a lot of why people dislike Trump, or Hillary, or Sanders.
>>17760216
>I'm not American so why should I care.
Because if 'Merica gets fucked up, so will you.
And see the above. I've met a lot of idiots and a lot of smart people on all sides. Whatever you accuse "Trump Fans" of being, you have to also accuse other political supporters of other candidates of being the same, or of similar things because the majority of the U.S. IS sheep.
Luckily, I think Trump would be good or a net neutral president. If he is half as insane as he is painted as being, Congress and the Supreme Court will both put him in a corner. If he's any good, Congress will support him and everything will be ok, or as ok as possible.
Anyway, we need to stop derailing.
The absolute most wretched and cretinous of plebs are those who judge horror movies solely by the criteria of 'how scared was I?' and comedies by 'how much did it make me laugh?'
The Witch isn't the scariest film in the world, no, but its appeal extends far beyond that.
Sometimes the atmosphere reminded me of Haxan, which is one of my favourite movies and one I'd recommend to anyone interested in the witchcraft genre as the best entry.
Of horror films in general, A Tale of Two Sisters is GOAT.
>>17760236
>Because if 'Merica gets fucked up, so will you.
I hiiiiighly doubt that, but whatever you say my dude.
>>17760259
If our economy tanks, and it will, so will yours. And if you live in the EU, the U.S. is what holds NATO together. And we also hold China's economy together by buying their crap. And we keep Russia from Annexing back it's old territory.
I don't agree with us doing any of that at all, but you know. Hillary/Bernie will over exert us on all that shit, and ruin way more than just the U.S.
>>17760253
>this pretension
Holy fuck, m8. I bet you read those reviews on Rotten Tomatoes before deciding whether to watch a movie.
>>17760271
Yeah, I've heard it all before. The world has been suffering a huge economic crisis for the past, what? Ten years? The worst part actually is through already. Regardless, throughout all this time our government has made sure every worker has food on his table and a roof above his head.
You make think your country is the center of the world, but I couldn't care less about it.
>>17760283
may*
>>17760283
>>17760288
I don't think my country is the center of the world. I think it has spread itself thin because of our string of idiotic presidents from Bush Pt. 1 to Obama Pt. 2. And we have unfairly weaseled our way into Europe's defense measures (which seemed like a golden opportunity for them at the time. Pat less, get more.) Into the Middle East. Into parts of South America.
Basically our fingers are in everything and our allies are not necessarily incapable of doing without us, but if our fingers break, the holes can't be filled immediately. Like, if we fail tomorrow, NATO will be in shambles for at least a short time.
You got me all wrong man. I want the U.S. to turtle up, say "Fuck everyone else" (in terms of military stuff, not necessarily trade.) and focus on itself. But that won't happen with our status quo government. Or another Democrat as a president.
>>17760281
You'd win that bet.
>>17760301
WAIT...
Wait.
Wait...you actually use Rotten Tomatoes as a movie guide and not a laughable Hipster blog about movies?
>>17760253
>'how scared was I?
This trivializing of the 'how scared was i element' is dead wrong when discussing horrors thought. It's good that the movie goes beyond the typical convention of horror, and into the experimental cinema, but it's primary objective should still be towards causing the horrific effect. Look into Eraserhead, unconventional as it goes but still scary as fuck.
>>17740283
The Witch was a solid movie in the sense of being well done, well-acted, well written, etc.
However, it really wasn't that scary. Also the ending was really dumb.
Movies that genuinely scared me:
Eraserhead was a bit of a mindfuck.
The 'ratting heads' thing in Jacob's ladder stayed in my mind for weeks afterward.
>>17760305
Not Rotten Tomatoes, I usually look at the critic and user reviews on IMDb and make a judgement based off of that.
Isn't Rotten Tomatoes functionally similar though?
>>17760298
Yeah, well, I'm sure the whole world would be affected to some extent if things went down in America. I'm well aware that the economic crisis I mentioned before had its inception on the bursting of a real estate bubble you guys went through a few years back. Sure, nowadays everything is connected.
Still, I trust my life wouldn't change much if such a thing were to happen again. Any decent government can take a few measures to fix the prices and make sure people's lives go about unscathed. Call us "socialists" if you want; at least we still have our jobs.
Anyways, I wish you guys the best and all. Whoever wins the election, I hope they'll follow your advice and focus on your own country. God knows we could do away with all the fucking gringos.
>>17760315
Rotten Tomatoes is IMBD run by people who are even more Hipster. They are not simply "harsher critics". They base a lot of their reviewing off of "how mainstream is it?" Levels of idiocy. They often try to be contrary to other reviewers as well. Like if IMBD or a bunch of other big name critics like a move, they seem to dislike it based on that.
>>17760325
>Gringos

>>17760348
Didn't know that about Rotten Tomatoes. That was informative.
>>17760350
Just go look at their comparative scores on movies. Unless the movie was seen as really good or really bad by common consensus, you'll see the pattern.

It's kind of boring at first, but it's alright. Music is Conjuring-tier distracting, but they did pretty well with the witchlore.

>>17762948
>Conjuring-tier
Sorry. I meant Insidious-tier. Maybe it was just something about the versions I had, but all the speech was quiet, and then the music was unnecessarily loud and cacophonous.
And I couldn't even figure out why it had music. The Witch in particular would have been far more disturbing without it (or with something far more subtle).
>>17740989
It probably seems like misery porn just because you don't really understand old New England, it was basically some of the saddest times for people, and I think all the brutal shit fits that theme of a really horrid time for old Americans. In New Hampshire, people even now still don't expect to be happy in life, just try to be successful (just what I thought about it)

>>17760029
I've got to disagree with you. Thomasin was probably in the 14-16 age range and the twins were at least 6-7. The time lines that you suggest just don't add up. I don't think there was any sort of incestuous relationship between her and her father. If anything they were kicked out of the town for their father's pride and vanity. This was symbolized by stack of wood and the failed crops. Ultimately, the most pure person in the film, Thomasin, signs Black Phillip's book because she's got nothing left. The ending itself is about the freedom she receives from stripping off her puritanical mantel and embracing her true nature.
