The movie is awful!!! It is one of those movies that you really want to like, but it just doesn’t deliver. First off, the pace is painfully slow. From the very beginning, you're waiting for something, anything, to happen, but it just drags on and on. It tries to build tension, but instead, it feels like you’re stuck in a movie where nothing important ever happens. Honestly, don’t watch it if you’re hoping for a fast-paced or exciting story—it’s not that kind of movie at all.
The visuals are nice, and the creepy atmosphere is set up well, but that’s about all it has going for it. The characters don’t do much to keep your interest. You don’t get to know them enough to care about what’s happening to them, so when things start to go wrong for the family, it’s hard to feel anything. If you need characters you can connect with or root for, don’t watch it. You’ll just be sitting there, waiting for something meaningful to happen, but it never really does.
Then there’s the story, which feels like it’s trying to be deep and mysterious, but it just comes off as confusing and pointless. There’s a lot of religious paranoia, strange behavior, and some witchcraft sprinkled in, but none of it adds up to anything that feels satisfying. The movie seems like it’s building toward some big moment, but the ending leaves you scratching your head, wondering why you just wasted all that time. Seriously, don’t watch it if you want a movie that actually goes somewhere.
In the end, *The Witch* is all slow buildup with no real payoff. It’s the kind of movie that thinks it’s being clever, but really, it just leaves you bored and disappointed. If you like horror movies that are exciting, scary, or even just interesting, don’t watch it. There are plenty of better options out there. Don’t waste your time with this one—just don’t watch it.
