I watched this for Anya but It wasn't really something I liked it, now I have phobia of goats so there's that

This movie showed inappropriate scenes such as touching on a child and gutting the child as a sacrifice, some nerve of the actors is totally disgusting and should be banned.

Fabulous! Gripping, suspenseful, intelligent. Unforgettable! My favorite new director

It's one of the best modern horror movies but it's not your typical horror movie.

My eyes were glued to the screen for most of the movie. Dark and eerie with a masterful dialogue, and a plot that twists and turns in the most satisfying ways.

I was afraid that Mr. Eggers would make this little gem and then we’d never hear from him again. I couldn’t be more thrilled that his filmmaking career took off after this, and deservedly so (“NOSFERATU” was outstanding) since he was able to craft, with such a small budget and cast, an incredibly effective chiller. Great horror movies, for me, are more metaphoric rather than literal, they are restrained rather than over the top, they are suggestive rather than in your face, and they are made with a sense of realism to them. Here, a family living on the edge of the unknown wilderness in 1600s New England, slowly begins to unravel. Isolation, religious zealotry, superstition and fear of the unknown are the sources of dread. Eggers seems to instinctively knows how to tap into our almost childhood-like fear of things that go bump in the night, quiet, open spaces, a dark forest…and family.

Another one of this director’s films that ends up being a snoozefest, praised by pseudo-intellectuals who pretend to enjoy it. Once again, his direction and cinematography are undeniably impressive and stunning—like something out of a Rembrandt painting—but the characters and screenplay fall flat. Ultimately, it’s just another visually breathtaking yet painfully dull film, much like the rest of his work. Being visually beautiful doesn’t make it a great movie; it just means he excels at aesthetics. He should stick to visual art and leave filmmaking and screenwriting to someone with real storytelling talent.

The Gentle Whispers of Evil. - The short story, the fable, the fantastic tale teach us that there is a huge distance between scare and horror. The former is nothing more than an instrument, often exaggerated, and the seventh art has used it to exhaustion, mostly in its cheapest form: the scare-jump. The latter is the product of an intelligent and elaborate use of narrative resources that, in its best examples, refers to the ancient and paradigmatic oral stories in which the imagination of the good speaker stimulated that of his audience in a skillful framework of words, gestures, and brief, accurate, enigmatic silences. Honoring good horror with overwhelming historical precision, hurtful subtleties and dignified graphic sobriety, Robert Eggers reminds us of the ancient, fearful and forgotten truths of witchcraft, relegating the owner of the Blair Woods to the role of a poor, unpleasant old woman. All the elements that the sub-genre can draw on at its roots flow with terrifying naturalness from the first minutes of a story that makes tension its sharpest tool. The dark forest, possession, human sacrifice, the temptation of the flesh, the pact with evil, the blood rite, the cursed animals, the forbidden book as an evil mirror of the other, which does not seem to help at all, parade in their best finery. But if the convincing acts of witchcraft presented with no modesty before our eyes were not enough to hurt sensibilities, the elegant narrator's pen gives us the horror of a ruthless lifestyle, feeding on a fanaticism that refers to the least lucid ways of facing the most fearsome misfortunes. When evil finds no obstacle, prayers are answered by silence and the righteous pay for sinners, the road to the coven is paved with friendly, gentle whispers.

A masterpiece. Robert Eggers is now my favorite director of all time.

Like 20/10 it was aaaamaaaaazinnnggggg.

A film terrifying in its visuals alone, the Witch will isolate the viewer in the darkest pits of the human spirit through the tragic loss of a colonial family's innocence.

Super macabre, very well done, even my dad found it creepy. deserves higher on the popcornometer!

The parents are Too intense

Great performances by the cast, but it lacked that touch of horror. I think it’s more suspenseful.

Don't trust the critics score on this one. This is a stage drama with underwhelming direction for a horror.

'The Witch', Robert Eggers' feature directorial debut, is very good! I enjoyed all of these 90 minutes, I could've watched it go on for a little longer in truth. I really liked the atmosphere throughout, as well as the look of the film. The dialogue is particularly excellent, too. Everyone on the cast gives a terrific performance, shown perfectly by that final scene with them all together onscreen. Harvey Scrimshaw is super convincing in the aforementioned, I was almost questioning if they had got an adult actor and morphed him into Caleb, such was his high performance. Ellie Grainger and Lucas Dawson are class in that scene too, one of the most unsettling moments in this is as their characters convulse on the floor - that sorta thing with kids always creeps me out. I've gone too far into my review to not note Anya Taylor-Joy, who is quality from beginning to end. Ralph Ineson and Kate Dickie merit props as well. I mentioned in my recent review of (the good) 'Nosferatu' that I was unsure how this one was going to fare in my personal ranking of this director's work, given the stark contrast with my thoughts on 'The Lighthouse' (4/10) and 'The Northman' (9/10). In actuality, this falls a notch below the latter; not far off the same rating, fwiw. It'll be fascinating to see what Eggers conjures up next, as long as it is not another piece in the ilk of that from 2019 then I'll excited to check it out.

O filme é exelente, as atuações são ótimas e a ambientação é incrível, teve alguns pontos no filme que não me agradaram, tem certas partes do filme que o ritmo dele diminui e acaba sendo entediante a experiência, porém o filme não deixa de ser ótimo, tendo um final para livre interpretações

Amazing!!, the best horror movie I've ever seen. Robert Eggers is a genius.

There's no point watching it.

One of the best horror movies ever made. Makes you understand why people would want to be witches.
