The witcher season 3 reaction time ?
Watch next: HEREDITARY and THE EXORCIST - DIRECTOR'S CUT (Original)
Have fun! 😈
Can u react at one piece live action
if you stopped yelling for a second and actually watched it properly it would help , why are americans so LOUD ? you have a damn microphone !😆 just talk at a normal volume please............i keep having to adjust my volume controls !
According to folklore about witches/witchcraft, witches used the fat of unbaptized children to make their “flying ointment”; and baby Sam was indeed unbaptized. Witches also had the ability to turn themselves into a hare (the “rabbit” you kept seeing), the power to blight crops and to sour milk. All of which were well represented in the movie. Eggers did his homework!
Yep very accurate. Also the blood of the young was used to keep the witch young (think Adr3n3chr0m3).
Satan, Belzebub, Lucifer also has the ability to turn himself into a goat :)
Or a black dog. Or a raven.
Also compulsively chopping wood or drawing water is a sign of possession.
vavitches be trippin'
Seeing a lot of channels checking this one out finally, not even mad. This was an absolute masterclass of a movie.
I agree 100%
I still know a lot of people who think it's "slow". I don't need action when I'm THAT creeped out...but you do you I guess
It honestly doesn’t matter if it makes you mad narcissist. They can do what they want
@@MisterDevos r/Whoosh
@@michaelschwartz8730 Seriously, the pacing was so damn good, and the payoff was well worth it.
Here's some interesting facts the movie doesn't tell you.
•At the end when the witches are gathered around the fire, they're actually cooking the twins.
•The Witch is a shapeshifter and comes in the form of the Hare the entire film, she can also shapeshift into other animals, as well as influence all animals behavior.
• Black Philip was also a shapeshifter the whole time. The movie doesn't tell you who he is specifically but his job seems to get people to sign the book which offers your soul to him.
• Saying your prayer was used as a form of proof that your soul wasn't corrupt as witches couldn't pray, the twins forgetting how to pray showed that they were already possessed by Black Philip.
• When the son spits out the apple before dying it tells us that he was cursed by it, which is similar to stories like Snow White.
I'm sure I missed alot but that's a few I thought were Interesting. This movie really has amazing lore behind it.
Seen it a million times, I can't see no twins in the fire although I've read other ppl commenting how they were somewhere in the final scene. Also as far as your third point, I think it's pretty clear Black Philip is the Devil as it was previously established that the Devil himself forces you to sign the book and "he comes in the shape of a he goat".
@aLeXx1314 It's implied it was the twins because in old witchcraft folklore it's said witches used the fat of unbaptized children to create their flying ointment. Young children's blood is also used to make them seem more youthful as well. That tells us that the witch killed the baby to look young again briefly, then killed the twins so they can fly at the end, all abilities which seem temporary.
I thought the apple seed spitting was because he lied about finding apples in the woods.
Interesting conclusion.
I'm Scandinavian and we are told these stories as kids.
The hare is a servant of the witch. We call them bjära or pukhare. It is used to steal milk from neighbors.
In our folklore the Devil can take the form of a goat. Often he looks like a man but one leg can be a goat leg that he tries to hide. The book is called "the black bible" and if you sign your name in it you sell your soul to the devil and will get favors from him like riches or/and power.
@chrissibersky4617 Thankyou for explaining that to me :)
Yeah. This was the performance that made Anya a household name. She played both innocent victim and possessed witch convincingly. She was perfect for this role and the entire film is a study in building dread and unsettling paranoia.
And that payoff by the fire was intense.
And the siblings were great. I don’t like criticizing child actors, but when they are on point it is refreshing. All the kids shined.
@@LaCheeserie Yes. The siblings all felt natural, like they were completely immersed into their roles. No precociousness or overacting at all.
Queen's Gambit was her watershed moment
@@ssotkow I disagree. I think since this movie she had Split, which I definitely think she only was offered because of how great she was here.
@@ssotkow by the time she did queen's gambit she was already a known commodity
I love the idea that the seven family members represent the seven deadly sins: The Baby Gluttony, as it needs constant care and feeding, the Twins Sloth and Greed for their idleness and selflessness, Caleb Lust, The Mother Envy, The Father Pride, Tomasin Wrath.
*selfishness
A baby wouldn't represent gluttony like that because gluttony is taking an excess, as in more than you need. And babies do actually need to be fed and cared for. ???
@@jackg.1683 I think the baby was without sin but the family didn't baptism him. So the witches/devil didn't need to tempt him to take him
My view is the youngest daughter was wrath. She was basically a mean girl, trying to hurt Tomasin for no reason. Also the family died by their sins. Mother killed by Tomasin (Source of her envy), father by a goat (he was a terrible farmer and was killed by his farmer animal), Caleb by hot witch. I think Tomasin was without sin but was tempted by the devil's offer for a nice life (Dress, butler). At that point she had nothing left and everything she cared about was gone.
@jackg.1683 it's symbolic, no one is saying a baby is ACTUALLY Gluttonous lol
My husband and I saw this in theater. I liked it more than I thought I would. I think this was probably the movie that launched Anya into superstar status.
@@user-fs5sx2uh2h Yeah, that's probably right. I freaking love that movie.
@@mst3KGfI would actually argue that what actually made her as famous as she is rn was The Queens Gambit. Shit was massive. She was known before tho obviously
@@mst3KGf
She was already the new “it” girl before Queens Gambit. She had so many things in production before that came out. It might be what made her a household name, but she was already a star in the industry.
@@whateverdoesntmatter9868 Also great in The Menu.
This one is the horror film that is rarely made nowadays, pure theatrical quality.
What do you mean? This is fairly new. You’re talking like this came out so long ago. This is fairly current movie. Then came Heredity then Midsummar, The Lodge, Lamb, and even Talk to Me. All films with similar levels of dread. Maybe you forgot them.
@@Pupeyes I realized this is a recent, and I'm the one of the fans of 24 production. What I mean is the theatrical. Rare almost none other movies put this concept to theirs, besides drama, or short projects.
But the ending is bullshit for me tho.
@@Sleepwalker507 Why? She was happy. The first shot the movie shows you is Tomasen praying to God but he didn’t save her from her family, Black Philip did. She was free in the end. I mean, she was basically recruited 😆 but she was free and happy in the end. She was granted powers. I liked that for her.
@@Pupeyes
And most of those came from A24. Big studios don’t do these types of movies anymore. They were correct.
Honestly? They should watch The Ritual. It’s not ‘scary scary’ in my opinion, but it definitely has a psychological eerie-ness to it
I lovvee the Ritual. Definitely one of my favourite horrors of the 21st century
The original novel is also very good if you haven't read it yet.
I enjoyed that one a lot! my only issue as a Norse mythology fan is calling every bad/creepy thing "a child of Loki" lol, but I had fun watching it and the creature was really creepy & cool
OH the ritual is amazinggg
The movie itself is ok but the monster design was fuckin awesome
If you like The VVitch, you should totally check out the director's other films like The Northman and The Lighthouse
Most definitely.
@@user-fs5sx2uh2h Oh, you're right! Welp, that's another thing to watch now lol
Watched the Lighthouse and the Witch last night. Loved watching them back to back. Eggars is great 🔥
I love his movies
I watched the Northman I keep hearing about the light house, going to have to check it out
I remember I watched this in 2016 at 2 am after hearing all of the hype about it in my film class.
It's historical accuracy to the puritan fear of witches (even using the blood of infants for flight) had me up all night terrified. It was like a more intense version of the Crucible.
Robert Eggers earned my respect from that alone.
I'm not sure if you guys realized that the Father was also in GoT. He played the Iron Islander who made Theon kill , very miserably I might add, Ser Rodrik. And he himself killed Maester Luwin.
Thank you, it was really annoying me.
Dagmer Cleftjaw!
I knew I should have scrolled down to see if someone else had commented this. Oh well, it shows we're both awesome fans of GOT!
@@pepsicooper9869same!
He showed up in the middle of Chernobyl as well. That beautiful booming voice is unmistakable.
“I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you can’t breast feed a crow.” That had me rollin.
About Black Phillip appearing as a pirate; several of the Salem witch trial defendants described a man from Boston dressed in black. Also, that could be cavalier garb, the cavaliers were enemies of the Puritans and considered "decadent".
The moment the Dad prayed and admitted to being cursed with Pride made me tear up when I first watched this.
Folklore horror is a niche genre but when done well, it’s absolutely terrifying.
Robert Eggers and Ari Aster seem to be in a competition to see who can elevate horror more with each of their films. And I'm here for it.
Also, I'm surprised Nikki didnt quit after the um....mashed baby scene.
One of my favorite movies. Not reliant on cheap jumpscares just super tense atmosphere throughout the entire movie. Also loved all the realism and ofc the ending reveal
This is a masterful movie. There’s several scenes in this film that come directly from the archives of the Salem Witch Trials and from “The Crucible” and from New England witch folklore. Perfectly blended to produce the religious mania and paranoia of that time.
"What did she do with the baby?"
Old folklore speaks of witches using the blood and fat of unbaptised children in powerful spells such as flight.
Yes old folklore but also believed in the current. I forgot the name of it but it was rumored that baby/children blood is used in blood needle facials to keep you looking youthful. A lot of celebrities have talked about it but they jokingly deny the children allegations.
@@larissa1770 and we denigrate the ancients for having insane rituals and madcap practices.
@@larissa1770it's called adr3n0chrom3 (I replaced the e's with 3's so it wouldn't get flagged lol)
She ground up the baby into an ointment to fly you can see her rubbing it on herself and the broom and then you can see her start to levitate!
@@larissa1770you're right. They also take adrenochrome! They torture children, which causes their adrenaline levels to spike and then they kill them, extract the adrenaline from them and drink it. It's a popular "drug" for famous people into black magic rituals
One of the greats,no artificial light,just candles,great acting,atmospheric,brilliant.
So about that postscript of authenticity:
Director Eggars made sure the sets, the buildings, housing were assembled by 17th century carpentry.
They did NOT visit Home Depot for 2x4x12 white wood; No, Eggars even milled all the timbers with all the warping, odd-sizing that carpenters would've used.
(People always assume everybody hundreds of years ago were basically Amish woodworkers -- nope, nope -- they did the best they could without precision manufacturing, tools and resources).
I burst out laughing when Nikki said they were all grounded
Unfortunately back in those times if something bad happened eg a crops dying, animals dying or babies it was blamed on a witch.
It's one of my favorite movies. The atmosphere is unreal
I think Robert Eggars is a GENIUS. He's making a remake of Nosferatu sometime next year with Bill Skarsgard, Anya Taylor Joy, and Lily-rose Depp and I cannot wait for it. You should check out The Lighthouse, literally a masterpiece
Unfortunately, Anya isn't in Nosferatu :(
I do believe he’s a almost genius level filmmaker also.
Eggers is way better than aster
@@MarioBarioboth are great
@@vn5774I thought Midsommar and Beau sucked ass lol. Also the last 15 minutes or so of Hereditary were goofy as hell, almost ruined the movie for me.
Had fun watching this with you guys. I know it's not for everybody but I love it. 🖤🐐
At 9:20 no, that wasn't kickback. Old weapons like that had a sort of "primer" charge of gunpowder sitting in a little bowl (it was called a "pan"). You squeeze the trigger, a flaming brand goes down into the pan, ignites the powder, and then that ignites the powder in the barrel. But sometimes you'd get too much powder, too much residue, or sometimes just have bad luck, and the powder would kind of blow back in your face. And that's also the origin of the phrase "flash in the pan".
Director Robert Eggers’ first feature-film!
This movie was very accurate portraying the beliefs of witch’s in early colonial New England. So first off that baby was used as the main ingredient for a flying potion. That’s why the witch was smearing it all over her broom and herself. All those other omen like events all pointed to the witch or the entire coven of witches targeting the family. The smartest move would have been to flee back to the plantation (settlement) as soon as possible.
Btw the black sores and delirium suffered by Caleb are symptoms from syphilis. In this case obviously magical, as IRL it usually takes years to develop.
You say you like Anya Taylor in “the menu” and in this movie. You should react to her in “queen’s gambit”. Def don’t need to be a chess enthusiast to enjoy her acting or the story! You’ll like it!
YEP
Highly recommend
Or Last Night in Soho.
Loved every movie from this director, he's so good! (the northman, the lighthouse) can't wait to see his next work!
This is one of those rare instances where my opinion on a movie really changed. When I saw this in the theater I did not really care for it. Having seen it a few more times I've grown to really love it. It kind of reminds me of my most favorite horror movie of all time of The Shining. You're just watching people go crazy together.
Wow, it's weird because it's the kind of movie that has a big impact the first time you see it.
Yes it had the same creepy constant tension as the Shining
The Shining is my absolute favorite horror film too! Kubrick kicks ass
This works because it is the middle of nowhere paranoia with no one coming to help and spooky woods and possible witchcraft. So everything feels so creepy and boxed in,
I'm not a religious person but there's several scenes in this movie that made me feel like I was seeing something blasphemous, especially the boy's horrifying monologue before dying. It's not even about being explicit with blood or sex, it's just this sense like the things you are seeing are a sin against nature. That cannot be an easy tone to find in a horror film.
Ok, the old woman who took the baby was making a flying ointment. She smeared it on her broom and began to fly/ float during a full moon. Took me a couple watches to get all the “witchy” nods. Interesting and strange and just odd film.
Robert Eggers movies are amazing, this one had no artificial lighting which made it look amazing and creepy, The lighthouse is eerie and claustrophobic, and the Northman is a great slow burn revenge story.
This is one of the most well done horror movies I've seen. The build up and the slow development of the story, the twists and the absurd scare situation created based in folklore and history is just masterfully done. Also, the acting!!! Like c'mon. Even the little Kids nailed that. The soundtrack, everything was amazing.
HAHAHA NIKKI REFERENCING THE WOOD CUTTING BEEFCAKE GUY that guy is insane!
Such a chilling atmosphere from the start and throughout. This is how to make a horror film that sticks with you long after it's over.
This is honestly one of my favourite movies, the scene in the barn with the witch disturbed me to the core the first time I watched this masterpiece.
The dad with the awesome voice is also in both The Northman & The Green Knight, both of which are worth checking out as similarly dark, but artsy A24 movies (neither is horror like this, but they have horror elements)
I’ve heard theories that each of the family members represents one of the seven deadly sins:
Thomasin: Greed (she seems fixated on the silver cup, a symbol of her old life before having to live a modest life on a farm, she is dissatisfied with her life and wants worldly pleasures)
Caleb: Lust (pretty self-explanatory)
William: Pride (he left the colony believing he had what it took to survive without them, then proceeded to fail at pretty much everything he tried, and is overcompensating by compulsively chopping wood)
Catherine: Envy (she seems to be envious of how young and beautiful Thomasin is, accuses her of tempting Caleb and William, calls her a slut and whore for no real reason)
Jonas: Sloth (he never does any farm work, he loafs around hanging out with Black Philip or going along with Mercy’s schemes)
Mercy: Wrath (she reacted very vengefully and spitefully after being scared by Thomasin, she accused Thomasin of witchcraft knowing how serious it was)
Samuel: Greed (I know he’s a baby, but he was almost always seen breastfeeding so I connected it to that sin. You could also make the argument that his kidnapping and killing was tied to the original sin, since babies are sometimes considered sinless)
My favorite part of the VVitch is the premise that you take old folk stories, play them ENTIRELY straight without much embellishments, and wind up with the horrifying result that would otherwise sound really dry in a history text.
Slap on an arc about Puritanism or whatever and KERPOW you have a tight film.
From what I can glean of the responses to this film, the director does a terrific job of making much with little, most is left to the imagination. That's where fear lives, it feeds upon the unknown and the uncertain. The scariest place to live is inside your own head.
like dude i will go into a thousand page essay about how good this dam movie is bro black phillip is so scary and eerie when you truly think about it like idk i have this powrr of basically being able to feel the atmosphere of things and man i felt this movie hard especially because ive been out in the woods and open field and also the sinning going on and the slight negetive energy being shown throughout the kids , kicked out of the village etc
You're a WITCH!
No I'm not a witch!
You're a WITCH
No I AM NOT
You're a WITCH
NOW I AM!!!!
Plot of the movie in a nutshell. But it's so good!!!
I'm so happy you guys are reacting to this movie. It's one of my favorites.
The witch in the opening was making a "Flying Potion" (which does exactly what it sounds like it does), the main ingredient of which is the fat of an unbaptized child.
That lady you recognised was also on the council in the first episode of season 2 of Loki.
General Dox
Yep - that's it :)
Thomasin just out living her best life now. 🤣
The most unsettling horror film I've seen in a long time. The comment Steven made about the pirate at the time broke up the tension at the perfect moment 🤣
you gotta do the lighthouse now, another insane one from robert eggers
The look on Nikki's face when Steven said "baaaaad goat" was glorious!
Ralph Ineson has one of the best voices working today.
If you haven’t, you guys need to see Hereditary! Nikki will never be the same. It’s a good one, but will mess with ya for sure
This film was made with no electric lighting, which adds to the authentic feel of the film!
Ergot isfungus that occurs on various plants, grains especially, that when ingested causes various physical symptoms such as paralysis, internal bleeding, paranoia and more. The mold is most "famously" known for its hallucinogenic effects. When baked ( and these folks ate lots of bread! ) the effects are intensified and can lead to death. Also, tainted grain fed to livestock can have disastrous effects i.e death. A close up of fungus is seen when good old narcissistic dad is harvesting the pathetic crops. I've watched this film four times and there are so many elements, layers to it , it blows my mind. The cinematography is stunning as well as the score. The depiction of this period is perfect, so may shots that are works of art. . So, so many references to folklore, archetypes and superstitions. I'm on a roll but I mostly wanted to talk about a simple, overlooked and insidious element which is in Nature itself- fungus on what is essentially sustenance.
Yes, this is all true and this is definitely the most likely cause for that kernel of truth that is in every story. And it especially looks like rye seeds, which was the common bread of poor people and they stored. It’s usually in a space below the floor, where this particular mold would grow and appear on the bread. They would eat it thinking it was rye seeds, and it would cause this problem. Thank you for posting this in here. I think it’s important for people to see and I could not for the life of me. Remember the last word of the title I knew it was Ehrgott but for some reason I didn’t have the second part, right so thank you.
OMG - I am SO glad you guys watched this movie! One of my favorites. Such an underrated film.
thomasin said well if everyone thinks i'm a witch may as well become one lol
Black Philip in human form looked like the judge from the beginning that kicked them out
Loved the reaction guys! The director from this movies is actually Robert Eggers director of the Northman, I remember you guys also really liked that movies, you should really watch the lighthouse! It’s the last one you guys are missing and is my personal favorite😄
I got tickets for the premiere back in 2015. I didn't really know what to expect but I went and brought a friend along. We left the theater in awe. Amazing movie, so full of layers.
The ending of this movie is so good and bone chilling
You would love Hereditary!! If you haven't seen it yet you should watch it. In my opinion it is one of the best horror movies to come out in a while.
They've seen it n Steven feels that culty stuff can ruin a horror movie, too bad!
@@headwoundis that what he said about the movie? I personally think that the cult is one of the Scariest parts of the movie, and I don't really see how it can ruin it when the whole movie is built around it.
17th century witch/supernatural stories are a bit of a staple of classic British horror movies, it's fun to see an American version that taps into a lot of the same imagery.
In my culture a bloody cracked egg is believed to mean that someone did witchcraft on you. It’s interesting to see it in the movie
Really guys, THANK YOU for checking out this film! It is a cut above most other horror films. I saw this in the theater. A trio of viewers left in a huff after the intense scene with the infant. And they made a BIG SHOW about leaving. Maybe I'm sick and need therapy, but their reaction brought me great joy. And no Nikki, that was NOT a circumcision.
This movie is basically what the puritans thought the world was. Lots of reasons that sect no longer exists.
I've been waiting for this! I saw this when it came out in theaters, and I admit that I didn't care for it. But it's now my favorite horror movie. I grew to appreciate it, and Robert Eggers is quickly becoming one of my favorite directors. I'm looking forward to his version of "Nosferatu."
This and the 2018 "Suspiria" remake are great examples of elevated-horror takes on witches.
The father in the movie was also in GoT. He was one of Theon's men, he is the one who bonked him on the head during Theon's speech at Winterfell. I actually do live in the woods in MN. I can always here coyotes and Bobcats yelping at night. It is a little creepy hearing a bobcat screech at 3am, They sound like a woman screaming.
Excited! I needed this after a shit day. Rolled my SUV on my way to work. 🤦♀️
Oh no! I hope you’re ok.
I’m so sorry that happened to you! Sending you lots of good karma and good wishes.
@@emilywilhite5807 Thank you!
I walked away totally unharmed.
I'm still a teeny bit sore but honestly, I got REALLY lucky.
Swerved to miss a vehicle who merged into my lane last second and I still barely clipped their back right bumper but that threw me on the sidewalk, into a fire hydrant, which flipped my car. Landed on my Driver's side.
It. Was. Crazy!
(2015 Ford Escape.)
So grateful that everyone is okay! This is what full coverage insurance is for. Things happen but, I got to go home to my 14yo son that needs his Momma! 💙
@@kellifranklin9872 Thank you so much! Please see above for what happened! 💙
This is my kind of horror movie lol. I've never been into jump scares and stuff I love the stuff that just disturbs the shit out of you. 10/10 spookyfilm
This is a masterpiece in my opinion. There has never been a movie about a witch like this and the acting and score and cinematography is really top notch.
This is one of my favorite movies ever. It's just perfection. It's a masterclass of slow burn continuous dread.
The best part about it is there's so many interpretations of it that add so many layers. You have the layer of what we're shown, where Lucifer takes the form of the goat and curses the family. But with the ending you have the realization that the Puritans of the time would stumble upon the farm, and they would believe the banishment from the colony was the curse and what happened was Gods will for going against the beliefs of the colony, not the work of the devil. But then you also have the fact that the disease the that ruined the corn would still have been eaten to survive, and would cause the effects that poisoned Caleb and deteriorated the mental state of the rest of the family. So you have some real world explanations for what happened, and the dwindling sanity of the family isolated from the rest of the world broke apart.
Either way, fantastic movie. Amazing score. Top tier acting all around. A script that doesn't pull any punches, given how slow the movie develops. And the historical accuracy of the sets, clothing, and dialogue. Definitely a 10/10 in my opinion. As close to a perfect film as you can get.
Glad this is getting so much play this spooky season! Very underrated!!! 👌🏻 the score is damn near Shining level of CREEP!! 😳
the constant look of bewilderment on your faces 😂
This film was so well made for a director's debut. Everyone's performance was above and beyond combined with the old style English dialogue, dreadful atmosphere and set design, it really sold me for a period piece. Not to mention the filth and hard work that was depicted for that era. As a viewer I felt completely drained having to endure every aspect of this film much like the characters did. Then Lucifer's big reveal with that awesome voice drop. It was also chilling to see that he was wearing cowboy boots with spurs. Satan was an absolute Outlaw in this film. Lingering in the shadows and playing puppeteer, turning the family against one another and letting the witches stalk their prey. Great reaction to a great film even if it was a slow burn. 8/10
Black Philip the Goat of Mendes. The Devil. Hahahhaa I love this movie. THIS is how you do horror... none of that Conjuring nonsense.
You want to be scared? You want FEAR? Here it is! Best, most positive scene in the entire movie is when she joins her coven...
Also, it's not strange that the boy is turned on by her sister. They are completely isolated and his hormones are charging like wild horses. It happens.
This and the new Suspiria are my favorite Horror movies, no trash, pure story telling and cinema ❤
This same Director Robert Eggers did "The Lighthouse" and "The Northman " as well as the upcoming " Nosferatu"
This was so great in theaters. There was maybe one or two previews that quietly were released beforehand? Had no idea what to expect just like you guys. The sound design and soundtrack had everyone backing into their seats with the unrelenting tension. So good!
This movie is great. I remember watching it by myself in the dark in order to make it even creepier. I have always been interested in the time around the Salem Witch Trails. Anya Taylor-Joy was fantastic in this as Thomasin. The boy who played Caleb was also stellar. U know both the actors that portrayed the parents were in Game Of Thrones. The father was the one to knock out Theon Grayjoy after his speech to "his" men about keeping Wnterfell, but they just wanted to go home. Anyway, u know, each family member that died w/the exception of the baby committed 1 of the 7 Deadly Sins. The twins committed Sloth by not doing their chores & being what they considered idle back then. The father was Prideful. Caleb committed Lust. The mother was Envious of her daughter's youth & beauty or in the end she became Wrath when she tried to choke Thomasin to death. U can take your pick w/that one. The only innocent one was Thomasin. With her entire family gone, she could easily be swayed by the devil, & how that devil loves to corrupt innocence. Ok, I know this is a sensitive subject for u Nikki, but gonna touch on the use of the baby. The witch took the baby because it was unbaptized. That's why the mother believed her baby was in Hell. It was thought that if a baby is sacrificed that it will enhance a dark witch's power & give her the semblance of youth. That's all I'm saying on that. I am in agreement w/Steven that the movies that deal w/the paranormal such as hauntings, possessions & witchcraft are scarier than the slasher flicks. One movie that made me feel so uneasy & I will probably never watch again was HEREDITARY. I think it's by the same director as THE VVITCH. HEREDITARY made my stomach hurt & the tension it made me feel, so never again. But, I will say, I didn't find THE EXORCIST all that scary. I was 14yrs old when I watched it for the 1st time w/some of my cousins. Watched it a 2nd time by myself in the dark when I was in my late 20s. Ok, getting off track. Anyway, just wanted to say I liked your reaction. I hope I can join u for the next movie on your live stream.😊👍
I caught this live and it was so much fun. You’re my favorite react channel
I saw that movie in the cinema and it literally scared the living crap out of me. I loved it. It's one of my favourite horror movies.
Recommendation: the Ritual (2017), highly underrated!
Girl I feel you, when I saw the baby get sacrificed I could not continue the movie until I saw reactions so it made it easier to watch it again Lol

So glad you guys have finally checked this out, it’s one of my favourite horrors from the last 10 years, also the guy who directed this is doing a Nosferatu remake
"Why does it have to have a baby situation?"
We all know it doesn't have one for very long.
This movie rightfully made Anya a huge name, but it was the performance of the kid playing Caleb that floored me. His deathbed monologue is spellbinding and if he chooses to keep working as an adult actor I only hope he keeps on having that much intensity to his performances!
Ugh, my thoughts exactly. Very well done movie, loved the dialogue/ old dialect, creepy, atmospheric, unpleasant, seeing it once was enough.
Wonderful film. The biblical metaphors and involve fairy tales are well constructed
Bro, Steven's facial reactions in this were hilarious
“Did he just fvkking die?!” 😂😂😂
Can you imagine that the same director is working on Nosferatu!? Its gonna be sooooo creeeepy, i just cant wait!
Everyone who suggested this movie knew it would trigger Nik......and it was worth it!!!! You guys are the best!
Y’all gotta watch “Pan’s Labyrinth”
