@@theplayground-ss3iqI don’t think so. Despite popular misconception, women had more rights and freedoms in Puritan New England compared to most other societies at that time. Puritan women were educated, were allowed to choose their own husbands and were also free to divorce, were protected by law against domestic violence, and could even sue their husbands if they weren’t fulfilling their “marital duties.”

[@alanhigh8125]

That's the folklore. The ointment was used to mark magic spells and symbols on the body, imparting the ability of flight and other demonic powers to the practitioner. Untold thousands of "witches" were put to death across Europe. The rabbit seen frequently is a "familiar", a demonic entity disguised as an animal. It does the witch's bidding, and is commonly used to spy or gather information on potential victims or adversaries. The black cat is another often seen familiar. Black cats, and cats in general, were killed by the thousands in medieval Europe. They were placed in large wicker cages and burned alive. By killing so many cats, the Europeans caused the rat population to increase exponentially, which in turn led to a vastly increased number of fleas, many of which were infected with ursinis pestis... the black plague. The "Black Death" which occurred in several waves during the 16th to 18th Centuries, killed up to a third of the population of Europe. Superstition can have unexpected and fatal consequences.

I love the theory about this film. Everything that happens to them after they are cast out of the village is just the story that the villagers told each other about their fate. It makes the subtitle, A New England Folktale make complete sense.

[@ScientificallyStupid]

my only criticism of this film is that I wish they'd played up the religious hysteria angle even more than they did. I liked that you don't have a sense at times of what's reality or what's just in their heads and the filmmakers showing the corn covered with ergot only strengthened that. I just wanted a little bit more uncertainty until the end of the film.

Stephen King said this was the most disturbing film he’s ever seen. It’s such a psychologically agonizing journey through a family’s decent into hell as the result of the father’s religious zealotry and too rigid and prideful nature. And it’s an amazing depiction of the moral panic of the puritans and their terror of women being liberated from Christian patriarchy by sin, sensuality, and witchcraft. The symbolism of the apples the mother has been craving ever since she left England is a brilliant touch. When Caleb vomits up the intact apple, it’s an echo of the original sin, of being cast out of Eden. One of my top five horror movies, for sure.

An interesting fact about the actual Salem witch trials is that there has been a lot of research into the idea that it was a tainted crop of rye that may have led to it. Historians now believe that Salem's rye crop was infected with ergot, a fungus that attacks grasses in marshy areas by replacing seed kernels with fungal shoots that look a lot like dried or "sun-baked" kernels. Ergot contains chemicals similar to those in LSD--hence the hallucinations etc. (aka "distemper") that the townsfolk suffered from. Without any scientific understanding of what was going on, the devout & superstitious community turned to explanations of possession & witchcraft. It's an intriguing idea that has also been documented in Europe.

That theory was debunked. It was way more pedestrian and nefarious than that. What was a prevalent factor was landgrabs. They used the girl's mania of rare freedom as a cover. They were coached.

They went too far with their greed.

Something to keep in mind about this movie as well is that it utterly commits to telling this story from the family's perspective, or the era's perspective. Imagine living in the vast New England wilderness, in that darkness and the devil and witches who steal your children at night are a simple fact, not even just a fear. That's something I deeply respect about it after watching it a few times, it never condescends or winks at its modern audience.

Men fear witches because they possess a power that intimidates them 🔮✨✨. They have the ability to tap into the mystical forces of the universe and manipulate them to their advantage. This power threatens the traditional patriarchal order, where men are used to being in control. Witches challenge the status quo and refuse to conform to societal norms, which makes men feel uncomfortable and insecure. But let me tell you, there is nothing to fear about witches! We are just women who have embraced our inner strength and intuition. We are in tune with the natural world and use our abilities to heal, protect, and empower ourselves and others. Instead of fearing us, men should be in awe of our power and wisdom.

I like that you picked up how much fault the father has in all of this. I've seen ppl not understand "why" the family "deserves" what happened, but most of it makes sense if you consider the Witch herself as just a metaphor for death and that this man chose his very ancillary religious beliefs over the welfare of his family. A really good example is when they decide to marry off Tomison; that probably shoulda happened before they left civilization, but I bet mom and dad wanted her to help, which ultimately makes things worse for Tomison and is p selfish on their part. Also it increases just how shitty they treat her when you know she was just a useful second pair of hands to them, so it all culimates logically to when she's basically choosing a life for herself based on survival and perhaps a chance to live deliciously. I also like whoever said this is a folk story the society they leave tell about what happened; you do just need one very bad crop season and a bad winter, and then perhaps some or all of your family going nuts, for the entire family to go. There's a reason it took western expansion for white colonists to truly live outside of colonies and that's because the west is warmer and more fertile--so while you do have your Donner parties or just again how one bad winter or crop season can spell your doom, it is a little less guaranteed that you'd Super Die as much as you would trying to rough it back east.

In old times, in my culture, witches would make a poultice or rub made of human fat, blood and herbs...like a grease they would rub all over their bodies. It would give the power to fly or transfigure. I loved seeing that detail in this movie💜

[@dakritic]

This has become my favorite horror film. Thank you for the very entertaining reaction.

[@jesususher9456]

Take a shot everytime Alanda says "V-Vitch" 🤟🤟🤟 One of my favourite reaction of you! Thx

[@stink..]

"the music says y'all not going to fair too well" lmao true!

[@flor8567]

Love this movie! An amazing debut by Robert Eggers! The Lighthouse is a wild ride and I can't wait to see Anya in his next movie The Northman. Eggers does an amazing work with his research, because what is scarier than reality?

[@PowerpuffGirlsXO]

Just as I was about to sleep! This is one of my favourites😁

[@agenttheater5]

I still say this whole things was 100% the dads fault

[@adgato75]

Absolutely. His pride led to the whole situation.

[@SwampBrat19]

Girl you never disappoint! Let me throw a few modern horrors your way: You’re Next, It Follows, Crimson Peak (period piece💖), and Gerald’s Game

[@ScientificallyStupid]

oh YES if you want a great film with the best Final Girl (aside from our Queen Sydney Prescott), You're Next is a must-watch.

[@ShadowsintheEyes]

YES! I always forget about Crimson Peak, but that is an excellent movie. I would love to see her reaction to that one!

[@AlandaParker]

🗣 I LOVE CRIMSON PEAK!!!! 😍🤌🏾

[@cherrypi_b]

@@AlandaParker Please watch It Follows!

If one looks inwardly to their own weaknesses and frailties, one understands that the characters are, in some ways, mirrors of themselves. Whether it be religion, politics, ego, etc - we’re all tempted, haunted, even hunted, by our own VVitch. And that is the most horrific reality of the film.

[@Okidata29]

The baby scene: It was believed that witches most coveted ingredient is the fat of an unbaptized child because It used to make flying potion.

[@staceypaquette5483]

Have you seen the movie The Warlock? The warlock did the same thing.

[@introgeek5278]

Even in religious armish garb, Anya givin’ LOOKS and she looks fine. She did amazing in Last Night In SoHo and Queens Gambit

[@officialchristopher]

Alanda thanking us for the suggestion is the most threatened I’ve ever felt. 😂😂😂

[@robertb.warren4749]

Fun fact: Ralph Ineson, who played the dad, was also did voice work for the notorious pirate Charles Vane in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag.

[@punish5r]

you’re commentary never fails to kill me! everytime you referred to the witch as the v-vitch had me in tears, girl !

[@jessediaz1293]

My favorite character has to be Mercy. I love her and the younger brother playing their little satanic game. “I be Not Mercy! I be the wicked witch of the woods!” “Clickety-Clackety! Clickety-Clackety! Clickety-Clackety!” Little girl was over the top with that performance.😂

[@sandpiperr]

I hated her. She was so annoying.

[@lucianaromulus1408]

​@@sandpiperr but a great actress

[@Evil_Vegan]

LOVE the depiction of how toxic mystical belief can be in this movie, true to life, rly spoke to me as someone who had struggled with religion in life. And that ending? I mean they rly wanted her to be a witch, so it was honestly liberating 😂👹🤩

[@callherfoofoo]

“The Lords Of Salem” disturbed my inner self my soul my consciousness… And it’s playing this constant bass on a record player at a different hertz that makes you remember well after it’s over Sorry Rob Zombie I just can’t😭😭😭

[@eduardoalegriarampante639]

This was so much fun. I've seen it so many times, but never through such a humorous lens. The Vivitch, and the verb Goodyproctoring!!...I can't 🤣😂

[@liteflightify]

Can we perhaps get a reaction to Mulholland Dr. or Heathers, if you haven’t seen them? Two fantastic movies but also would be a hoot to see you react to them. Also, are we getting a reaction to Suspiria soon? Both the original and remake have “witchy connections. Though I’d hope that she reacts to the remake more since it fits the month’s theme a bit more.

[@dylanbroussard5736]

Mulholland Dr!!!!!💓💓💓

[@dylanbroussard5736]

@@IVNHYPRFNK she should do extreme horror like Martyrs or Antichrist lol

[@boweryboy]

Mulholland Dr. YES!

[@randychavez1979]

Omg I second heathers, she'd probably love it

[@liteflightify]

@@randychavez1979 I do have a feeling that she’s seen Heathers. But if not she needs to get on that ASAP. It’s right in her wheelhouse. I don’t know if she’d love Mulholland Dr (it’s a movie that tends to take multiple viewings to really love). But seeing her react to it would be fun.

[@kalehead0075]

One of my favorites. As someone with a lot of religious trauma- this movie is so therapeutic.

[@torpedoboy4]

same here

[@clairee527]

as someone who also has religious trauma, may i recommend midnight mass? its incredible.

[@kalehead0075]

@@clairee527 I’ve seen it- it is my favorite out of Mike Flanagan’s shows. So good!

[@justin12378]

You’ve gotta watch the original Suspiria! Suzy is a final girl we can’t forget about! It’s too beautiful and was one of the final films made in technicolor!

[@scaredycait3674]

first The Craft and now this?? we are truly blessed

[@Iconicbeyy]

The fact that you’re calling it vvitch I’m dyinggggg 😂😂😂😂😂

[@InvisibleBlues]

“Stop playing before she ‘Goodie Proctor’s’ you.” Dang, you know your theater shows, too! Imma bout to binge every vid you’ve made!

[@lovelya9150]

Wait a damn minute. . . We just gonna ignore the hair cut? 👀👀 Also, Alanda you and Zzavid are the ONLY reason I “watch” scary movies 😫

[@lovelya9150]

@Lokie Thunder TRULY 👏🏾👏🏾

[@NessNayii]

Depending on your tastes, this is either an slow moving, unintelligible bore...or a super intense work of genius with multiple interpretations - I fall into the latter category. I'm really happy that you found it to be as much of a rollercoaster as I did Alanda :-)

[@faychel8383]

I like the theory that the twins disappeared overnight at the end and like the baby, they used them for the group youth and levitation in the final scene

[@kylelee7741]

The way you reacted when he started talking at the beginning killed me 😅😂🤣🤣😭😭😭😭💀⚰️🪦🫥

[@JamesASharp]

Yeah! This horror film is crazy. Robert Eggers is a talented director. But, he's also a sick lunatic FRFR. Thank you for torturing yourself for our entertainment. Great reaction!

[@HauntFreak13]

This movie is a masterpiece. When I saw it in the theater as soon as Black Phillip whispered “what dost thou want…?” absolute CHILLS ran down my spine.

[@Kurdinov83]

Everytime you said v-vitch you had me CACKLING!!! Good one!!

[@augustbrown9711]

So happy you enjoyed this movie! An old roommate of mine showed it to me, and man, it was great. I tried showing it to my new roommate this last Halloween and he didn’t care for it at all. Glad someone else likes it as much as me. Beautiful period piece and quite freaky. That last scene is amazing. I remember doing research on the Salem Witch Trials during an American History class in college and the way they speak in this movie is exactly like the old archives I read. Again, great movie and great reaction. ☺️

[@ashtond6390]

I know you love witches, so please check out Motherland: Fort Salem. Witches have replaced the military, the U.S. president and most military leadership consists of POC, and there's plenty of drama and action to enjoy :)

[@joshuamcclay9001]

I really hope she does!

[@RandomNirvanaSXE]

Your commentary is so good!!! You're such a rare person on KZbin. Every video hits! I'm so glad you watched this movie. I really love "elevated art horror" as Tara would say. I'd recommend Rosemary's baby, It Follows, hereditary. Or just anything you are interested in because I'm watching regardless.
