I love this movie! It's gorgeous, atmospheric, and quite authentic to the time period. However, I felt I was in the minority of people I knew who enjoyed it when it came out. I think some people were just expecting a different kind of movie, and the ending in particular really divides the crowd. But I thought it was a true Puritan nightmare, slow-burning and truly immersive with the entire family's descent into ungodly madness.
Larysia OMG! With all this Me Too Movement....a guy just can't tell a girl that she's beautiful anymore! But still....I do agree with your comments about The V Vitch. It is a great movie indeed! Oh....and I'm sure that you're not Gary nor Ian!
Great video again, this is one of my favourite films. Blood letting was an old medicinal practice that was believed to make you better by releasing “bad” blood from your body. That’s why they cut Caleb’s head.
The scene where Tomasine "admitted" that she was a witch never rang true with me. "Maybe it was a dingo?" Am I evil for laughing at that comment? Probably. But I didn't expect it.
One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I am an avid horror watcher and I just bought this on DVD, I don't bother buying dvds anymore unless they're spectacular. Glad you guys love the vvitch as much as I do. It's a masterpiece.
I would highly recommend watching it with subtitles because it's makes the film a little creepier because you understand what the kids are singing and if you are struggling with understanding the dialogue it helps
This is such an amazing film, mostly because it does its own thing and is not dictated by new-age filmmaking trends. It feels throwback, and it works wonderfully in a way films that look and feel new do not.
That's because whether man wants to admit it or not, in his heart he knows Satan is real, which means God is real, which makes for quite the reflection.
Gary, you should definitely check "Hagazussa" by Lukas Feigelfeld. German film. Think you will enjoy the atmosphere. Reminded me "the Witch" in some way. And thank you, guys, for a perfect review, looking forward for the next one.
Another fantastic insider into a movie, that I now want to watch! Please don't stop guys, fist bump, shelf-pound to the kings of online film critique - Gary and Iain!! Keep making awesome reviews guys!
You know...if I didn't have to work...I could just sit and watch your channel all day guys...you're more addictive than chocolate--keepin it real...love it
That movie was such a breath of fresh air. I own the Blu-ray. It was very artsy and non-linear. It's such a break from the current trends in Horror and the many cookiecutter contemporary Horror films full of tropes and clichés. I love it. And Anya Taylor Joy is a really good, young actress.
This film is on Netflix in the UK in case anyone hasn't seen it yet. Its on my list. Sounds really impressive. Kinda like a throw back to the Witchfinder General style of horror. Fun review as always guys.
Good review guys. The Witch s a cracking little film, made by a director with passion. Compare this to lots of corporate crap squeezed out by Hollywood. Great acting all round - I only recently discovered Anya Taylor-Joy's natural accent is American! XD
I seriously recommend watching this movie with subtitles on. It made me unsure about liking it upon first review (no subtitles) to absolutely loving it upon second watch (with subtitles). It was a difficult film to comprehend in some scenes just because I couldn't make out what some of the characters were saying due to the genuine dialogue they were speaking.
I saw this film about 3 times in the theater. I did love it. Another first time, meticulously crafted film is Eyes of My Mother. Amazing, shocking, intimately creepy film.
Another highly enjoyable discussion. You never cross the line and become a frat boy goof fest; you clearly know and love film, and have respect, and yet at the same time you can also have fun, inject some mockery when it's deserved. There are so many TH-cam reviewers (especially of horror movies) who produce an unappealing stream of foul language and snarky ridicule-- rather than a worthwhile glimpse at a flick. Thanks. As for this film: In an age where horror films, especially from Hollywood, are mostly junkyard drivel, this was something unique and welcome and delightfully different. I like some ambiguity occasionally, and the ending made me think. So I checked around and found a few interpretations of the plot: A. There was a witch nearby who terrorized the family (she could take many forms), and her master claimed Tomasin as a new member in the end. B. The theory-- shared in this video review above-- that maybe each family member hallucinated what happened to her/him, because of food bacteria or stress or something else. C. Tomasin was, knowingly, the main witch for the whole time, and in the climax made her final vow. (Honestly this concept makes no sense to me-- given what we see from her POV during the story.) Granted, this narrative is not as heady as something like David Lynch's strange Hollywood mystery "Mulholland Drive" (of which I'm deeply fond), but it definitely makes you think. By the way, you fellas should review THAT film (if you haven't yet)! Any way you look at it storywise, the bottom line is that "The VVitch" is a vvonderful cinematic debut, bursting with an unsettling vibe of impending doom. Good stuff.
I saw this a few weeks ago, i absolutely loved it!, my favorite modern horror film in a long time, i got audibly exited when i saw your notification for this video :D.
I wanna see Hollywood do number 2 where she has all the powers of all the x men and goes bat shit on the town. I'm talking fireballs, hail fog, lightening, wind powers, ice walls, everything and they have sticks an rocks. Then the other witches have to stop her cos she will kill everyine and they need them (to feed off). Third film would be the witch vs all the other witches John wick style but with magic powers.
I think the audiences appreciation of this movie depends on what sort of horror/ghost story you enjoy, if you want fast pacing, a clearly defined villian and gory special effects it is not for you. If you are a fan of the Ghost Stories of an Antiquary by M.R.James and have an interest in folklore it is likely to be more your cup of tea. The archaic language means you need to concentrate more and it is definitely a slow burn. I'm from northern England and have always had the awareness of the Pendle witches so maybe I see this as a telling of a story with relevance to my roots. It definitely is not for all horror fans, but neither is the Saw series, however it is as it says in the titles "A New England Folktale" and in that respect it succeeds admirably.
I'm not at all interested in flashy pop-horror movies quite the opposite. This movie to me was just not good, it was very predictable, not at all original, the characters were wholly unlikable, and the pacing was dreadfully slow not mentions to the lighting was suicide inducingly bad, and the ending was comically terrible and lazy. Look, these are just my opinions and it's ok to disagree. :)
I see u guys are carnivale fans, me too! I miss that show so much. I’d give anything to know the rest of the story. You guys should cover that! I’d watch the shit out of an episode where u guys talk about carnivale.
I dislike horror movies...I've love this film so... About the religious aspect I recommend reading the New testament, especially the gospels to really get the sense of awe how Eggers actually did the religious side justice (we have the contrast of the promise of afterlife while in life following the teachings no matter what; and the promise of worldly possessions by the Devil (in the movie and in the temptation passages)) and its not imprinting modern or postmodern ways to dismantle these believes (I'm not passing judgement on these ways of critique of religious believes in a general sense, just that it would be out of character for the family members to do so). I furthermore consider it truly a great work of art cos even tho I disagree with Eggerses stated premise about witches being the embodyment of male fears of powerful female...(lower) (not to go too deep into this, there was a long standing interpretation throughout the middle ages that the "sabbaths" and flying stories were just dreams and temptation of the Devil that you should confess and maybe do some penance for; into later literalistic interpretations that these things were literally happening and that people started getting into serious trouble over (didn't need to be burning in the most cases; also there is a need to distiguish magician and which latter being explicitly in league with the Devil while former performing sacrilegious rituals)) ...I really appreciate that he did not "kidnap" the characters to be his mouthpiece and leaned on the realia (not to make a historiography (in the scientific sense) but a literal depiction of the sources' claims like court proceedings) and let the characters exist within this framework with their believes that haven't need to be questioned within a modern frame of reference, yet still depicting relatable human experience that is building upon the condition the characters and their humanity - like kids will do stuff they shouldn't cause they can't really imagine the repercussions even tho they know the thing being wrong (like selling ones soul to devil and pretending to be a witch to scare somebody) I must contrast it with athmospherically similar movie Sleepy Hollow that goes pedal to the metal on the naive modernistic detraction (in a sense that the "old ways" are depicted as a over the top ridiculous acts of cruelty by unthinking automatons - the police and the court system) of the pre-modern society and its practices (even tho there is supernatural, it is a really mechanistic thing being used by the antagonist and not as a direct result of some sort of divine will as some of the charcters are claiming)....(I realize that rather mechanistic rituals exist in irl pre-modern religions (Buddhism) but not in the mainstream christian context of the time) Im sorry for the parentheses, I'm sadly use to writhing like this while using footnotes for clarification :)
I remember the first time I watched this and I loved it but when I watched it again I hated it, I’ve never had a reaction to a film like that before. now you just mentioned the 🌽 being poisoned with an hallucinating fungi and they may of imagined it all has just made me like it again! This is one of those films i just can’t decide on.
Glad that you guys got to discover this amazing film. The dialogue alone makes it a great period film, while also being a first-rate example of slow-burning atmospheric horror. Probably my favorite witch movie along with Suspiria, not that I would ever compare the two.
I think the bloodletting scene represents them trying to get out the bad humors. I believe that's what they thought caused sickness back in those days. Pre germ theory.
The best horror movie i've seen of the last few years - absolutely loved the ending... good review guys! Subbed. For me the film is about sexual repression, madness, and the ending scene is symbolic of sexual fulfillment.
It’s a wonderfully acted film. Even the small children played their parts too well. The scene where the dad asks for mercy for his children is some of the most moving stuff I’ve ever seen on film.
Can you guys ever review the movie sleepers? Great film, starring Robert De Niro Kevin bacon brad Pitt and Dustin Hoffman. You will enjoy it. Perfect tale of retribution
So like, there is a specific movie i want my two favourite movie reviewers to reviews and i wonder how much id have to pay yall to watch and review this movie
Off The Shelf Reviews either Sid and Nancy or The Outsiders! I swear those two movies never get the mainstream attention despite just how pivotal or controversial they were at the time of release! (Though if its another horror movie instead yall two should check out a french horror movie called Livid ;) )
Thomas Babilon a movie doesn’t have to be entertaining or fun. The movie was meant to be incredibly unsettling and filled with dread. A movie doesn’t need to be fun or entertaining to be great. I’d never call godfather either of those things, yet it’s unarguably one of the greatest movies ever.
Sorry guys I disagree with you on this film. I just found it dragged way too long. Visually it was well done but by the ending I was like oh c'mon. Like a scene right out of Hocus Pocus with Bette Midler lol.
The thought that god turns a blind eye/doesn’t exist and the only thing you’ll find in your darkest hour is the devil himself is existentially terrifying.
I saw this in the theater and I honestly thought it was going to be a piece of fucking shit. And man I was so wrong. What an amazing movie. It actually gave me the chills in certain scenes and the atmosphere was incredible like you guys talked about in the review. I understand Iain when he says he doesn't really want to see it again anytime soon but I think it's because of the dread and darkness in the film. I've only seen it twice and I love it but I'm not rushing to see it again either. Glad you guys also mentioned the soundtrack. Great review like always. Groovy.
I didn't enjoy this as much as everyone, I was wondering what the darkness or the the witch was meant for. Was she just some primal attacker or was she tormenting this family because they think they are following god in their own way. It looks pretty but that is about it. Thank you for the apple explanation though , it helps the reasoning a bit.
The witches I think drank the blood of the baby which made them young. There was about six different ones and they can transform in to animals ie the hare was one. The witches were indifferent to the family other than they wanted their blood to make them younger and power them up.
You fellas give superb reviews to all the movies you cover. Two thumbs up guys.
The director's 2nd film "The Lighthouse" is also a critically acclaimed masterpiece. So far, Robert Eggers is on a roll.
And now there's the Northman
what do you mean 'also'?
An 'Eggers roll'
I love this movie! It's gorgeous, atmospheric, and quite authentic to the time period.
However, I felt I was in the minority of people I knew who enjoyed it when it came out.
I think some people were just expecting a different kind of movie, and the ending in particular really divides the crowd. But I thought it was a true Puritan nightmare, slow-burning and truly immersive with the entire family's descent into ungodly madness.
Larysia Speaking of gorgeous....I think that you are bear-y bee-yoo-tee-fall! And I love your name too!
Thanks, dude, but not the place. Haha Besides, for all you know, I could secretly be Gary. ;)
Larysia OMG! With all this Me Too Movement....a guy just can't tell a girl that she's beautiful anymore! But still....I do agree with your comments about The V Vitch. It is a great movie indeed! Oh....and I'm sure that you're not Gary nor Ian!
Larysia omg are you implying that gary isn't beautiful?
"maybe her broom is broken" LMAO!
Yeah, that made me chuckle as well.
🤣🤣🤣
That is a funny remark.
Great video again, this is one of my favourite films. Blood letting was an old medicinal practice that was believed to make you better by releasing “bad” blood from your body. That’s why they cut Caleb’s head.
Quite true.
The scene where Tomasine "admitted" that she was a witch never rang true with me.
"Maybe it was a dingo?" Am I evil for laughing at that comment? Probably. But I didn't expect it.
You are right,there seems to be some hesitation on her part or like she’s not necessarily going along with the agreement in a wholehearted manner.
One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I am an avid horror watcher and I just bought this on DVD, I don't bother buying dvds anymore unless they're spectacular. Glad you guys love the vvitch as much as I do. It's a masterpiece.
Definition of a modern classic
nope
You just blew my mind after suggesting they may have been hallucinating. Now I know what I'm gonna be re-watching tonight.
I would highly recommend watching it with subtitles because it's makes the film a little creepier because you understand what the kids are singing and if you are struggling with understanding the dialogue it helps
The actor of the Father has the most epic voice 😂 I recognised it straight away from when I was playing the witcher 3 👌
Retro Ranter he was also Charles Vane in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.
Who was he in the witcher?
Ah, now I see why this movie kept reminding me of the witcher.
It is quite striking.
This is such an amazing film, mostly because it does its own thing and is not dictated by new-age filmmaking trends. It feels throwback, and it works wonderfully in a way films that look and feel new do not.
This movie sits with you and makes a home in the deep recesses of your brain.
That's because whether man wants to admit it or not, in his heart he knows Satan is real, which means God is real, which makes for quite the reflection.
My favorite movie of the 21st century, so far. Masterpiece! But turn on the subtitles!
Gary, you should definitely check "Hagazussa" by Lukas Feigelfeld. German film. Think you will enjoy the atmosphere. Reminded me "the Witch" in some way. And thank you, guys, for a perfect review, looking forward for the next one.
You really have to be in the mood for this movie i feel, had a hard time getting into it the first time i watched it
Same here, took me 3 goes to watch it all. But I did really like it.
Another fantastic insider into a movie, that I now want to watch! Please don't stop guys, fist bump, shelf-pound to the kings of online film critique - Gary and Iain!! Keep making awesome reviews guys!
This film is a masterpiece.
You know...if I didn't have to work...I could just sit and watch your channel all day guys...you're more addictive than chocolate--keepin it real...love it
The mom in the movies was in Game of Thrones she was cats crazy sister
That movie was such a breath of fresh air. I own the Blu-ray. It was very artsy and non-linear. It's such a break from the current trends in Horror and the many cookiecutter contemporary Horror films full of tropes and clichés. I love it. And Anya Taylor Joy is a really good, young actress.

Good review guys.
The Witch s a cracking little film, made by a director with passion. Compare this to lots of corporate crap squeezed out by Hollywood.
Great acting all round - I only recently discovered Anya Taylor-Joy's natural accent is American! XD
That’s weird-l thought she was British.
14:00 Tearing itself apart? I heard Pinhead there for a min.
I seriously recommend watching this movie with subtitles on. It made me unsure about liking it upon first review (no subtitles) to absolutely loving it upon second watch (with subtitles). It was a difficult film to comprehend in some scenes just because I couldn't make out what some of the characters were saying due to the genuine dialogue they were speaking.
I'm a fan of Anya Joy Taylor. She is an extremely talented actress. Admittedly, I find her quite beautiful.
Thanks guys‼️
11:40 another wonderful line from Iain! :D
Some of that music reminds me of the score at the start of "Fargo".
Oh brilliant! This is a fantastic film, definitely a good patreon request.
Hope you both can do reviews together again soon. Miss it. ☹️
Do you read Sutter Kane?
I absolutely loved this film after watching it on Netflix when it was added. And would definitely enjoy seeing it again. Another great review you two.
Gonna try this tonight with the mrs thanks alot lads.
I saw this film about 3 times in the theater. I did love it. Another first time, meticulously crafted film is Eyes of My Mother. Amazing, shocking, intimately creepy film.
Great review as always. Absolutely loved this film

Great review!!
I saw this a few weeks ago, i absolutely loved it!, my favorite modern horror film in a long time, i got audibly exited when i saw your notification for this video :D.
This looks amazing!
I gotta check it out! Great review guys!
I wanna see Hollywood do number 2 where she has all the powers of all the x men and goes bat shit on the town. I'm talking fireballs, hail fog, lightening, wind powers, ice walls, everything and they have sticks an rocks. Then the other witches have to stop her cos she will kill everyine and they need them (to feed off). Third film would be the witch vs all the other witches John wick style but with magic powers.
Please do reviews for The Lighthouse and The Northman
Beauty of the film comes really from the tone and the actors. Some pro acting here.
Nice review as usual.
I think the audiences appreciation of this movie depends on what sort of horror/ghost story you enjoy, if you want fast pacing, a clearly defined villian and gory special effects it is not for you.

It definitely is not for all horror fans, but neither is the Saw series, however it is as it says in the titles "A New England Folktale" and in that respect it succeeds admirably.
Someone needs to make a movie about the Pendle witches, it has so much potential.
I'm not at all interested in flashy pop-horror movies quite the opposite. This movie to me was just not good, it was very predictable, not at all original, the characters were wholly unlikable, and the pacing was dreadfully slow not mentions to the lighting was suicide inducingly bad, and the ending was comically terrible and lazy. Look, these are just my opinions and it's ok to disagree. :)
If we didn't disagree we'd all be watching a diet of Mama Mia 2 lol
one of the best modern horror films made along with hereditary and the the ritual thanks for your hard work making this video.
Looking forward to this review 👊🏻
Loved this movie! Loved the father's voice!
I can't wait to see this movie for myself. It looks very reminiscent of "The Blackcoat's Daughter" which I think you two should watch and review!
Yes! Very similar vibe. I love both films :)
Can you guys please review The Vagrant with Bill Paxton ❤️ I love it it’s such a cult classic and would be right up you guys alley!
If you guys like The Witch I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about The Lighthouse.
This director got the nosferatu remake which I think is a brilliant choice.
I see u guys are carnivale fans, me too! I miss that show so much. I’d give anything to know the rest of the story. You guys should cover that! I’d watch the shit out of an episode where u guys talk about carnivale.

The best horror movie i've seen of the last few years - absolutely loved the ending... good review guys! Subbed.
For me the film is about sexual repression, madness, and the ending scene is symbolic of sexual fulfillment.
Can u guys review Batman Mask of the phantasam?
awesome movie
This is a film I’ve been meaning to watch for a long time but I’ve just never gotten round to it. I’ll get to it this week you heard it here first!😂
Did you watch it yet?
I would love to see you guys do a review of hereditary.
I also love Anya Taylor-Joy in "Thoroughbreds".
It’s a wonderfully acted film. Even the small children played their parts too well.
The scene where the dad asks for mercy for his children is some of the most moving stuff I’ve ever seen on film.
I loved you in stop or my mom will shoot.
W was it just me or did that rabbit have the weirdest eyes
It was a hare. They have eyes like that
Amazing Movie. All that's needed to say
I hope you upload more videos and reupload old videos
I loved the rabbit best part of the filmXD
Can you guys ever review the movie sleepers? Great film, starring Robert De Niro Kevin bacon brad Pitt and Dustin Hoffman. You will enjoy it. Perfect tale of retribution
Thats a depressing movie. I suggest you read the book
You have to review Hereditary
Another great review from the boys
#proudshelfer
you could fit a couple peanut m&m's up there
This film is a modern classic
So like, there is a specific movie i want my two favourite movie reviewers to reviews and i wonder how much id have to pay yall to watch and review this movie
Whats the movie :) ? - Iain
Off The Shelf Reviews either Sid and Nancy or The Outsiders! I swear those two movies never get the mainstream attention despite just how pivotal or controversial they were at the time of release! (Though if its another horror movie instead yall two should check out a french horror movie called Livid ;) )
We do have a patreon page that you can sign up and donate to. Your film suggestion would go on our priority to-do list :) - Iain
Off The Shelf Reviews thank you so much lemme get on it and donate!!
This a very troubling yet effective creation. Can't say I was entertained or that this film was fun. Cause it wasn't. However well done. 6.5/10
Thomas Babilon a movie doesn’t have to be entertaining or fun. The movie was meant to be incredibly unsettling and filled with dread. A movie doesn’t need to be fun or entertaining to be great. I’d never call godfather either of those things, yet it’s unarguably one of the greatest movies ever.
Thought the film was even better the second time round, not sure I could handle a third :)
Sorry guys I disagree with you on this film. I just found it dragged way too long. Visually it was well done but by the ending I was like oh c'mon. Like a scene right out of Hocus Pocus with Bette Midler lol.
*Turn up*
Get it boys. Good choice of film.
It was a very well filmed movie, but as a horror movie it failed terribly, was never even slightly scary.
John carpenters the thing review please.
Spanky32 they have
It sucked when the father died he was my favorite character but awesome review as always
No other film made me think about religion like this one
Not even the exorcist
The thought that god turns a blind eye/doesn’t exist and the only thing you’ll find in your darkest hour is the devil himself is existentially terrifying.
Check out the rite. With anthony Hopkins, another good horror film religion based
Mercy grated me badly! I surprised myself wanting to slap her through the screen several times!
30:41
Baby blood can make you fly
Awkward Shalom Apparently
even though I was expecting a review of The Thing, because this movie is so good I let you guys have a pass
i love this movie even the in is really good
"could be a dingo".
I saw this in the theater and I honestly thought it was going to be a piece of fucking shit. And man I was so wrong. What an amazing movie. It actually gave me the chills in certain scenes and the atmosphere was incredible like you guys talked about in the review. I understand Iain when he says he doesn't really want to see it again anytime soon but I think it's because of the dread and darkness in the film. I've only seen it twice and I love it but I'm not rushing to see it again either. Glad you guys also mentioned the soundtrack. Great review like always. Groovy.
no they were clearly banished for not preaching anglican. You played that clip.
This film plays brilliantly on modern audience's atheism.
this film was cool except the mothers nostrils
Goldberg alien greatness
I didn't enjoy this as much as everyone, I was wondering what the darkness or the the witch was meant for. Was she just some primal attacker or was she tormenting this family because they think they are following god in their own way. It looks pretty but that is about it. Thank you for the apple explanation though , it helps the reasoning a bit.
The witches I think drank the blood of the baby which made them young. There was about six different ones and they can transform in to animals ie the hare was one. The witches were indifferent to the family other than they wanted their blood to make them younger and power them up.
if you like hocus pocus youll love the vvitch!
Love your videos and the witch is the best horror movie not the best but a great horror movie
Such a good and crazy disturbing film.
Creepy af movie 😵👍
