Interesting film facts (453 movies items)"The characters frequently accuse each other of 'signing the book', and a book is offered to Katherine and Thomasin to sign by Black Phillip. In Puritan theology, a person recorded a covenant with the Devil by signing, or making their mark, in the Devil's book "with pen and ink" or with blood. Only with such signing, according to the beliefs of the time, did a person actually become a witch and gain demonic powers, such as appearing in spectral form to do harm to another.

20 Favorite Movies From 2016 (20 movies items)" "Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?" Motherfucking Black Phillip. 2016 was a good year for horror movies, and this is my favorite by far. Atmosphere in this movie is amazing, it's just the way it should be for a horror movie. Everything looks great, and very well made, I just didn't like the ending very much. It's a good family drama too."
30 Favorite Films of 2016 (30 movies items)"If this is Dave Eggars' first film, I can only imagine the greatness that awaits in his future of filmmaking. With impeccable pacing, the dread and foreboding atmosphere builds to a suffocating degree. The sense of time and place rings with authenticity, as if we have literally been transported back in time.

Top 10 Films of 2015 (10 movies items)" On the rare occasion that a horror film comes out that prioritizes subtlety and mood-building over gratuitous gore (which can be fun sometimes, don't get me wrong) and jump-scares, it's worth seeing and supporting. The Witch doesn't disappoint when it comes to scares, and is an impeccably made movie to boot. Looking forward to the next thing from Robert Eggers."
2017 movies (120 movies items)"Like Babadook and The Shinning, The Witch just entered in the small group of horror movies that I love. Great story abou religious paranoia and the guilty for being a woman. I also like how the movie gives us right in the beginning that the Witches are real, leaving screentime to develop the important aspects of the plot."

Movies Of 2016 (252 movies items)"HUNDRED FILM OF 2016! Nicely directed and written film from Robert Eggers. Performances were all well acted, especially Harvey Scrimshaw as Caleb. Dialogy was understandable, even if it was from that period of time. Mood was very disturbing when the witch was on and thanks to a great sound editing for that."
