The Witch was great. A completely refreshing horror film. No jump scares. No obvious oppressive score. Completely free of teen/slasher/monster cliches. A horror film shot and acted like a Kubrick film. This was a case of the critics knowing more than audience and recognizing someone willing to try something different. Whereas the audience has been conditioned to react to only one kind of horror film: When you say horror film most teens think "Cabin in the Woods" not Ingmar Bergman. I agree completely. Enjoyed "Cabin in the Woods" for what it was, but "The Witch" was an unexpectedly great watching experience. I got it from the RedBox thinking it was going to be run-of-the-mill, but it really surprised me. Can't think of a horror fan who shouldn't at least give "The Witch" a shot.
