An attempt was made to recreate that atmospheric gritty feel of the era, but it fell short. I was going to make a drawn out critique of the movie and atleast back up my complaints.....no need.....this movie was horrible. They had and actor with a booming voice and the look. It matched the mood they were going for. He was magnificent in the Witch. No attempt to build this character in any real way. This movie was all over the place. Real quality films/movies are dead, just repackaged bullshit....they will just let anyone with a script make a movie if you are connected....sad day....miss going to the theater for a good flick....those days are gone
