there's old witch folklore that states that boiling the flesh of children grants witches the power of flight. the twins are missing at the end but the coven of witches are dancing around a boiling cauldron, and then start to fly. soooooooo uh yeah. them kids got cooked.
Seems a waste of good resources, I always thought the pagans were practical by nature, they don't worship for the sake of glory in this life or the next. What's the power of flight going to do for them? they are not actually travelling anywhere, so casting the spell is like a psychotropic drug, for the rush.
@@w415800 The director set out to make a film that portrayed witches based on puritan beliefs at that time. These weren't pagans to the puritans these were brides of Satan.
The folklore you are talking about is Witches making flying ointment from the flesh of children specifically. They’d put the flying ointment all over themselves which is how they’d fly. The point of the broom stick was to be comfortable in the air. The brooms weren’t what granted them flight.
I've seen this movie so many times and this is the first time I noticed specifically that Caleb chokes up an apple after talking with Thomasin about how neither of them have seen one in a long time (I think it was more noticeable in this video because the moments were edited to be close together). I also love the conversation the father has with Caleb about the corn going bad (not in this video)- ergot is the fungus that grows on corn- implying that they might be ingesting ergot, which causes hallucinations and seizures. How much of their experiences were real (because a witch has been hexing them) and how much is hallucinogens, exacerbated by religious hysteria? I love this movie so much because I always find something new to contemplate. Watching along with you was wonderful!
This is one of my favorite movies ever made. If the people from this time period could make a horror movie, this is what they would have made. If you showed this to them, it would've scared them to death because it's exactly what they feared.
That "Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?" line has lived in my head rent free ever since I first saw this film years ago. Modern culture kind of whitewashed how insanely creepy the concept of witches must have been to people back in those times, and this movie PERFECTLY revives that old sense of dread we lost a while ago when it comes to witches.
This movie flawlessly captured what must have been like to be a puritan back then. They leave England for the United States and find it to be a land completely wild and full of unknowns, and with religion making them believe that the Devil and evil is in every corner and capable of corrupting everything, even you and your loved ones, they must've gone through a lot of hardships. Eggers says he's embarrassed by The Witch nowadays, but it'll forever be my favourite movie of his!
Yeah that line made me feel...different kinds of things than what was intended. It's just dripping with sensuousness and debauchery and I am here for it.
@@eva11883 It is ICONIC for that very reason. Satan shouldn't sound like a snarling demon creature, he needs to have that allure. That seduction. This movie nailed it.
The best part about Robert Eggers' movies (besides the phenomenal acting and directing) is his use of dialects. For this movie and The Lighthouse he did research (by reading diaries, journals, and reports) on how people spoke during those time periods. It gives his films a legitimacy that few other films capture.
I definately recommend the writer/director's follow up The Lighthouse. It's even more of a psychological/lovecraftian horror but its also intentionally hilarious. It's is another movie that requires subtitles since the characters speak in sailor talk as well as knowledge on Greek mythology
YESSS! One of my favorites too and The Lighthouse has some homoerotic undertones that I never hear people talk about when they analyze the film I know Kody will catch them
This film is a work of art and a masterclass in Horror filmmaking. I remembered seeing this the day it opened and it made me an A24 film fan ever since. Robert Eggers put some much working into getting every detail of that historical period right, even to its dialogue. I'm a huge expert on the Salem Witch Trials and this film really captured not just the authenticity, but the paranoia. Anya Taylor Joy and the rest of the cast really carried this movie. It's a masterpiece.
This is one of my favorite movies. A neglected young women overcomes the hardship of her neglectful family & discovers found family. So heartwarming & inspiring. A holiday classic.
I love how her character is called Thomason (Tomison?) in The VVitch and subsequently, in Last Night in Soho she stars with an actor whose real life name is Tomison!
Such a great movie. Robert Eggers was able to weave in a lot of 17th century New England witch folklore and created a genius witch tale that's genuinely creepy.
Ahh, I love this adorable charming movie! A beautiful coming of age story about a girl discovering herself and breaking away from her toxic family. 10/10 would recommend.
When I first saw this movie in the theater, I thought, "Eh, it's okay." It took me some time to appreciate it. Now it's one of my favorite movies. Kody, you have some really interesting takes on this movie. They make a lot of sense and gave me other things to think about that I hadn't considered before.
Ugh Cody has the Neve Campbell Scream 2 hair I LOVE. ❤❤❤ Giving me all my 90s vibes. So the first kill (the baby) was unbaptized. The fat/blood of an unbaptized baby was an ingredient for a poultice that gives flight. So… she churned that baby into butter and spread it on herself
The boiling of fat of the child for flight comes from extreme perspectives on the making of “flying ointment”, a salve made by European witches often from hog’s fat and nightshades. The flying ointment would be applied to the head of a broom under ritualistic conditions and then used by witches that would “ride” it in flight. Datura is considered one of the most popular nightshades for this salve (and is quite toxic). Most flying ointments these days are practically colognes without a nightshade component, and there are many historical recipes that are traps laid by practitioners gone by, riddled with vicious toxins.
I’m so happy to see this reaction finally happen! May I recommend The Lighthouse (2019) also by Eggers. The one movie I reallyyyy want you guys to see is You’re next (2011) though!
I needed this today! And look at Cody’s hair?!?! I love you guys so much! I pray to have a relationship like this one day! You guys are so beautiful! Love you ✌️ 😘
I always thought Caleb coughed up the apple bc Thomasin said she wanted one so badly, when they were talking before he was taken. And since it seemed like she was the one the devil wanted, he gave her the apple as a message. A very gross, horrific message lol.
The father and the Mother are they the same actors from Game of thrones. Yes they are. the wife was lady the from the vale who tried to kill sansa. and the father was the who blocked arya from seeing her father beheaded 😊😊😊😊😊😊. Oh wait the father also was father brannen in the first Omen movie 😊😊😊😊😊😊
The director Robert Eggers went on to direct the amazing movies The Lighthouse (2019) with Robert Pattinson & Willem Dafoe and The Northman (2022), also with Anya Taylor-Joy alongside Alexander Skarsgaard & Nicole Kidman. His next project is a reimaginng of Nosferatu (the first trailer for it drops this weekend).😊
This film is a brilliant look into the isolation, paranoia, and fear of the frontier days. Eggers also uses many different witch tropes from the days, the rabbit, the goat, the young witch, the old witch, the coven, the bonfires, the talking animals, the succubus, the bloody milk, sudden misfortune, and possession. The beauty of it is, did any of it happen as we saw, or is it all a hallucination because of spoilt rye or just good old madness?
The She’s All That moment with the hair shakeout! 🙌🏼 His voice bass tho! Phillip WTF?! ASMR 💀 I did a double feature of this & Hereditary last year & it was…an experience 😂 Loved your reaction! It had me cracking up 🖤
@@cupofcait Aww thanks 🙃 I typically find horror movies funny for some reason & love watching them with my cousin who always gets scared. She’s like how are you making me laugh right now? I should be scared 😂 Maybe because I can see where the plot is headed typically but these 2 definitely kept me guessing where the plot was going.
Fun fact, I watched this movie the night that my kids were born. To this day, I have never rewatch this movie or talked about how I felt about it since the birth of my kids was a bigger life event than rewatching this movie.
I love the many messages in this film. And I love how the witches basically needed to do nothing, because the family turn on one another so quickly. The devil is Black Phillip sure, but he was not from the woods; he came with them from the very beginning, brought with them all along. All of them are innocent but also sinful by their own design; the constructs they live by punish people for being human (lying, lusting, simply growing up). It's their own faith that destroys them, catalysed by tragedy - the devil doesn't need to actively do anything. It's symbolic of the corruption of faith. The kids are also so relentlessly annoying. Certainly so many back then believed in witches but it's recorded plenty of times that many accused others for the own gain or simply out of spite.
Bro when i was a teenager i remember finishing watching the baby scene and just being ready to cry out of pure shock, i had never saw a movie take a baby out like that, just profane, and i loved horror movies even back in time, still took me by suprise
17:00 Woods in this folklore are associated with witches and the devil who have their rituals out there. It stands in contrast to the villages that are land subjugated by the Christian settlers where there is no hiding "sin" because everyone spies on everyone else. You can see this usage in The Crucible, the WGN Salem series, or the Chilling Sabrina comic series that preceded the Netflix show.
I like to think this movie was somewhat a portrayal of Dantes Inferno in a way. Where each family member represented a deadly sin. Though it’s a very loose theory. In one way or another this family has been commended to hell. Dad - Pride Son - Lust Mom - Wrath Daughter - Envy Baby/Twins - Gluttony/Greed/Sloth in some capacity not entirely sure.
The last cpl weeks have been quite entertaining since I found you guys' channel. Even though I've seen like.. every horror movie under the sun, it's still fun to watch y'all react to these movies. Much love! ❤
I remember watching this in theater with my wife. The ending happened and we were blown away, absolutely loved it. I think we may have been the only ones in that room who did like it, everyone else walking out spoke loud enough to hear that they were either confused, upset that "evil won" or asking what the hell did they just watch. (i don't think they knew it wasn't a typical horror movie, which yeah would definitely taint their experience) Anyway i went out and bought the dvd lol.
Absolutely love this film, Anya said she loves the last shot of Thomasin feeling free. This was her debut as a main character, she was 15 and even suggested to Eggers the scene where she is angry because she wanted Thomasin to display feminine rage.
Ooh I can't believe you guys brought The Witch to the channel! It's on my top 5 favourite horror movies of all time! Robert Eggers is an incredible director and you should check out his other movies as well!
GOD i love this movie so much!! its terrifying, the atmosphere and music, the lighting. ITS PURE ART. Im a witch myself, no i dont worship the devil but this movie SLAPS 😂 i want more witch movies!!!!
Considering the director's commitment to period accuracy I wouldn't be surprised if Ralph Ineson did actually lick dirt. But like...period accurate dirt from a museum or something 😂
You may be interested in The Confession of Isobel Gowdie. She actually confessed a lot of stuff without torture nor any other form of pressure. Her confessions are crazy. And very illuminating
Most movies about Puritan witch hunters say that they're just assholes. This movies says, no, they are shit-their-pants terrified. Their spiritual culture and their move to the wilderness combined into a perfect storm of paranoia. (Yeah, yeah, the witch was real, but just because they're out to get you doesn't mean you're not paranoid.)
Everyone thinks the Devil comes at you with horns, red skin, glowing eyes, fire, and a pitchfork. They’re wrong. The Devil comes at you with everything your little heart has ever wanted. You just have to be able to sign your name, and if not, he’ll help guide your hand. Great reaction!
I can't believe it took this long to find you two's channel. I love reaction vids, and a queer couple reacting together is literally the exact thing I've been looking for😊. I adore your reactions. I definitely relate more to your conclusions, opinions and impressions than any other TH-camr. Thank you for the quality content, y'all are the best❤❤
the score of the film is also the same person who did the first omen and crazy enough that the father in this is the priest in the first omen. love your reaction by the way!
loved watching this last night with the full movie with you guys 😭 there were so many scenes I was hoping for a funny edit so it's very satisfying getting to see them here hehe
The story is open to be interpreted either literally by the folklore, or more psychologically, that the things they are seeing express anxieties, especially for children on the edge, or over the edge, of adolescence. The two older children are in the age cohort of the girls in Salem who has fits and accused people of bewitching them. The New Englanders believed that the land in America they were moving into was all Satan's territory, so perhaps the parents' warning about the woods reflects this point of view. 'Familiar spirits' are demons, which can take the form of animals, that the devil sends to accompany witches in their enterprises. The Providence author HP Lovecraft, who was steeped in New England lore, refers to an entity called the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young. I think he might well have been inspired by lore surrounding the Devil appearing in the form of a goat to lead the witches' Sabbat.
I love the themes of this film, and the way it captures all the best part of true folk horror - the fight between nature's wildness and the inherant magick of the world, vs. man-made evils and technology. it's so so good!
So thrilled to see you react to The VVitch! This movie was one of my earlier horror experiences and I only dove deeper into the genre after. And now that you've seen this one, I really hope you watch Eggers's other movies! The Lighthouse (2019) is my favorite
This is one of my fav movies!!! So glad to see you guys react! 💜❤😁🫶 ⚠⚠‼(SPOILER): The 2 kids were taken by the Witch and it's actually their bodies burning in the bonfire at the end when all the witches are floating. Children's blood helps them fly in the old lore. That's why we see her flying earlier after what she did with the baby and that's why she rubbed it on her broom and herself.
The thing that makes this a great horror movie is that if you remove all the supernatural elements, you still have a compelling tragedy about a family turning against each other. Also, fun fact, if Black Philip seems uncanny to you, it's because he has human-like eyes instead of regular goat eyes.
this is one of my favorite movies everrrrrrrr, not just from the horror genre. yalls reaction is prolly my favorite i've seen for this movie. much love! xoxo
The baby was used for flying ointment. According to Francis Bacon you needed fat from a baptized (or was it unbaptized?) baby. As a huge fan of both theology and history, this movie is a grand slam.
there's old witch folklore that states that boiling the flesh of children grants witches the power of flight. the twins are missing at the end but the coven of witches are dancing around a boiling cauldron, and then start to fly. soooooooo uh yeah. them kids got cooked.

No, that is a different actor, Yoren(Francis Magee). This actor was Theon's Iron Island Captain, Dagmar egging him on during the taking of Winterfell.

The two older children are in the age cohort of the girls in Salem who has fits and accused people of bewitching them.
The New Englanders believed that the land in America they were moving into was all Satan's territory, so perhaps the parents' warning about the woods reflects this point of view.
'Familiar spirits' are demons, which can take the form of animals, that the devil sends to accompany witches in their enterprises.
The Providence author HP Lovecraft, who was steeped in New England lore, refers to an entity called the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young. I think he might well have been inspired by lore surrounding the Devil appearing in the form of a goat to lead the witches' Sabbat.
I love the themes of this film, and the way it captures all the best part of true folk horror - the fight between nature's wildness and the inherant magick of the world, vs. man-made evils and technology. it's so so good!
So thrilled to see you react to The VVitch! This movie was one of my earlier horror experiences and I only dove deeper into the genre after. And now that you've seen this one, I really hope you watch Eggers's other movies! The Lighthouse (2019) is my favorite
28:05 my favorite part. Sergio, you're hilarious
This is my favourite movie. So good to see you both cover it!
Ayyyy the VVitch
5:11 🎙️I want my baby back baby back baby back.
Give me my baby back please 🎙️
The Lighthouse. Please, The Lighthouse.
You guys will be happy to know that Ralph Ineson is going to be the voice of Galactus in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie.
Guys, look up the actor who did Black Phillip.. he is SO hot 👀
Oh, I _absolutely_ want to live deliciously. 😮
The mother was also lady of the vale I. GoT
I assumed the Apple thing was the witches way of offering herself to the daughter, 33:50
Love Robert Eggers movies and his brand of horror. Can't wait for Nosferatu!
Everyone in this movie is so good. They speak old english as if thats really how they speak, its so natural.
Yes, Harvey Scrimshaw deserved an Oscar for Caleb's last monologue.
This is one of my fav movies!!! So glad to see you guys react! 💜❤😁🫶
⚠⚠‼(SPOILER): The 2 kids were taken by the Witch and it's actually their bodies burning in the bonfire at the end when all the witches are floating. Children's blood helps them fly in the old lore. That's why we see her flying earlier after what she did with the baby and that's why she rubbed it on her broom and herself.
This movie has one of the most unnerving scores I have ever heard
I'm so happy you watched this! One of my favorite movies. The end just made it chefs kiss!
the way this movie was like, tailor-made to make people raised super christian break into a cold sweat
The thing that makes this a great horror movie is that if you remove all the supernatural elements, you still have a compelling tragedy about a family turning against each other.
Also, fun fact, if Black Philip seems uncanny to you, it's because he has human-like eyes instead of regular goat eyes.
I was too nervous to watch this, now I can finally watch it through your reaction lol
So glad we went in blind 😂
Robert Egger's film The Northman is also an absolute masterpiece, plus it has hunky vikings in it
this is one of my favorite movies everrrrrrrr, not just from the horror genre. yalls reaction is prolly my favorite i've seen for this movie. much love! xoxo
I would love for y’all to watch and react to the tv series Salem from 2014
The baby was used for flying ointment. According to Francis Bacon you needed fat from a baptized (or was it unbaptized?) baby. As a huge fan of both theology and history, this movie is a grand slam.
Creepiest sound was when the witch is mashing up the baby 😖 UGH makes me get goosebumps!
Love you guys! Awesome reaction!❤
Cody you are AMAZING and thank you for informing about the religious story side of things
HOW DOES YALL"S HORROR HAND JUMP SCARE ME EVERYTIME EVEN AFTER A YEAR LOL
The father was in The first omen 2024 as the Priest
5:28 It's the body fat, the specific part of the victim they need in this folklore
