The Witch2016

This is the story of how a girl sells her soul to the devil and becomes a witch. I elevated my rating from a 3.5 to a 4 since the last time I saw it back in 2015. Still warming up to the film, but I find the climax and the end scene as nothing short of a fever dream. This gothic folk horror film takes its time, relying strongly on atmosphere to give you the chills. Anya Taylor-Joy's finest hour—because she went totally Hollywood and lost her raw indie edge after The Queen's Gambit. And the boy who played Caleb is incredibly good and easily my favorite character here.
