[@PassTheMarmalade1957]

This movie is very faithful to the 17th century idea of witches - They wrote their names in a book given to them by the Devil, they communed in Sabbats where they would dance naked around the Devil in the form of a black goat, they kidnapped babies to sacrifice and used their body parts to make potions called 'flying ointments' which they would rub on their bodies, they could change their shape, and they had Familiars - demon helpers in the form of animals - which they would breastfeed their own blood.

The poking a hole in his head was supposed to represent bloodletting, which was used as medical remedy for literally everything. The reason the movie doesn't really witch until the ending is because it's not just about witches, it's about how isolation, desperation and hunger can cause a very small community to turn on each other while going slowly insane. Thats why the horror is so minimal. It keeps the audience guessing if they are really experiencing something supernatural or is this family just going crazy. Also its called The Witch and not The Witches because it's about Thomasin.

As for "Why the bunny," during this time period witchcraft was connected to hares, and it was said witches could turn themselves into hares. This in turn probably came from the use of a rabbit or hare as a pagan (read pre-Christian nature worship, not that devil-worship slander the Romans spread) symbol of fertility, and its connection with many pagan deities.

[@ember515]

[@calebleland8390]

Just research, my friend. There are many books - and I'm sure, websites - that go into great detail the mythology built up about witches. It's really fascinating.

[@KanuckStreams]

There is actually a folklore witchcraft which would allow a witch to create (or become, depending on the story) a rabbit-like creature that could literally steal the milk from cows in other farms and deliver it to you each night. Lemme get my book. Here we go. It is told in my collected work "Folk Tales of the British Isles" published 1985 by the Folio Society. They have an Irish folk tale, collected and reprinted by a W.B. Yeats, whom titles the fable "Bewitched Butter".

[@SnitchSeeker]

Same goes for the black goat. Back in Ancient Greece, this was Pan - God of fertility. He had the head and hooves of a goat but the face and upper body of a man. Pan was accompanied by a group of women, know as the Bacchae. The Bacchae were all women, naked, with long and messy hair covering their backs and breasts. They would gather around Pan and sing and dance, while he chanted. The Greeks believed Pan's chanting left these women in supreme spiritual ecstasy, that granded them supernatural powers like flying and becoming invisible. Christianity took this whole image and twisted it around - Pan = Satan and his Bacchae = witches.

[@thewomboldt7899]

Also with the case of imagery a bunny are not seen as evil creatures but as cute. So with a ln evil bunny it puts a spin on the already laid down imagery

[@WittyDroog]

Quick note regarding the logo, the director said in an interview that while researching old printed materials they found an instance in which witch was spelt with "VV", it wasn't a language thing, it's believed the printing press possibly didn't have a spare w to use, the director liked the look of it and applied it to the marketing materials.

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH

[@joshuahughes-davies7124]

It's true before printing presses could go through English standardization they used substitute letters, and even letters we don't use anymore, often because it was cheaper or more convenient. Honestly, this film is a true work of art.

[@infinitesimotel]

It comes from Latin having U and V together because U was pronounced as a short "oo" and V was like how we say "W"; oovitch, witch. Latin has no V sound so there was no V letter as V was also U as you see in these engravings: EVROPA or ROMANVS, is Eooropa, or Romanoos. That is why W is called double U. or in French double V because of how they were used and then cojoined as a separate "wuh" for a long vv or uv.

Theo Bendit I mean unless you never took history growing up then I don’t see why there would be a need to elaborate on the religious aspect of these puritans. We know just fro history that Europeans went all over the world spreading the word of Christianity aka killing in the name of Jesus. But I mean we’re all entitled to our opinions. And in my opinion this movie really captured the intensity of Puritan lifestyle and how everything they did was to please God. The movie gave u that sense of helplessness and isolation. They touched a little w incest which happened a lot back in the day.. The score is extremely creepy and the fact that they left a lot to the imagination made it even more scary. That’s why The original Alien is considered one of the scariest films of all time cuz you barely saw the alien...the unknown is a scary place. The Witch is definitely one of the top horror films in the last decade. Dark creepy and just made u feel bad afterwards. Now that’s a horror films.

Subpar? This movie is great. Maybe not the horror movie you were expecting, but it stands on its own merits: great cinematography, subtle psychological writing and gripping understanding of 17th Century religiosity. Most of your points on the movie make it seem like your didn't understand what happened, or that you want to laugh at things because it makes you look cool. I usually enjoy your nitpicking but this is not really funny. Like when you criticize the banishment of the family for "jesus things". It's implied that the father preached a lifestyle closer to the Bible and he got scolded time and time again, until the council finally was sick of that useless guy patronising and telling them how to live or pray. A very common thing back in the day, "out with you, you're not like us! You wanna be special!" and it plays right into the theme of the movie: to live free you must retire from the center, where normal lives, and live in the fringes, the margins. And these fringes take them closer to one who lives even more in the fringes, even more free: the witch. The great thing about this movie is that the Witch is the catalyst for the drama, not a slasher monster or the source of drama itself. She kidnaps the baby, and then shit goes downside from there all on its own. Most of the witch's actions can be considered interpretations on natural phenomena or common occurences. The movie chooses to go the route of "yep, the witch is real. Her powers, though, maybe not", but even still you could say that the Witch may not be real, or an actual witch.

I just recently watched this movie and I have to point out something I think you and a lot of audience members missed. Back in those days it was believed that witches would use the blood of un-baptized people to make an ointment that would allow them to levitate. That's why the witch rubs the blood of the baby over her in the beginning. Also, the reason the coven is able to levitate at the end is because they took and killed the twins which ties up the loose end you thought they left at the end of the movie. The bonfire they're dancing around is the twins bodies burning.

Exactly, very few 'horror' elements though

[@TheElMuffin]

The movie was touted as a horror movie, not a period piece with horror elements. It was marketed as such, and that is what everyone expected. Mind set or not, the movie was bad and disappointing. The rule of horror is less is more. Had they stuck with only hints and suggestions, and taken out the actual witch and the laughable scene at the end, the movie would have been much effective at toeing the line between suggesting the family is crazy and the idea that there is actually something paranormal afoot. You never show the monster, you only show ambiguous evidence of his existence.

[@robdillenger4763]

5:42 "Witch lures Caleb in by assuming he's a boob man" he's a 12-14 year old boy... that's a safer bet then "assuming trees will die if you pour gasoline on them and light them on fire." not to mention her face, hair, and overall figure are 9/10 at the least.

[@Ijustwastedyourtime0]

I don't understand why he is complaining so much about lack of witches. The title "The Witch" refers to Thomasin's build up and (SPOILER) eventual transformation into a witch. It's not at all supposed to be a focus on the coven of witches that is haunting the family. It's a horror movie but also a critique on what religion does to people, as in its own sinful hypocrisy. The father lies, the brother lusts, and the mother is proud. Thomasin is the only one who stays pure by the end, but by then she gives in to what she wants in life, rather then what her god does.

It is funny how movies that are said to be a critique of religion often feature no hard clue to religion in them. Or is there any out-spoken christian conflict or dilemma in this movie? Any theological debate or rule that is being confronted? Nope. The movie is not about christianity and what religious belief does to people. If at all it is about what non-religious people that have no idea of religion or how it works think what religion might do but without really caring enough to actually getting involved with religion in the movie itself.

Ghost Face I agree. Its such a good film. Cinemasins is always moaning about unoriginal, crap, Hollywood, jumpscare-type films and this is the exact opposite of that. Its a British film with northern accents so you can't expect the majority of Americans to get it or even understand what they are saying.

[@Taylor-nj5js]

Loulabelle More like I couldn't hear anything even with the volume all the way up. I understand the source material, and even if I enjoy the source, it was still dull to me personally. Like understanding that the apple represented the first sin, but also the boy's desire to find the apple tree. But it was still, bland? Also CinemaSins is a show to be satirical, why should it matter if he looked all the information. He throws in random sins here and there, but to regular people who just wanted to see the movie without any prior knowledge tend to look at the stuff happening in it like he does.

[@loulabelle5082]

Taylor Schiefelbein How was the volume quiet? I didn't have a problem hearing it. Either your TV is broken, your hearing is a little off or you really just don't understand Leeds accents.

[@jasperblairlunstrum8749]

* I also want to add that it wasn't a 'scary' horror movie. The marketing was wrong to portray it as one. It uses themes of horror, but it itself is not part of the genre in the traditional sense. Horror doesn't have to be scary in the way the The Conjuring was. It portrayed the things that struck fear and 'horror' in people's hearts in that time period. The VVitch is a horror movie in the same way that Oculus and The Babadook were.

[@bradsimpson8724]

That makes quite a bit of sense. The marketing really seems to have betrayed what the creators set out to create. I still haven't seen it in it's entirety, but I'd call that an excellent assessment. Going to see this movie expecting a traditional "horror" type film is a guaranteed disappointment. I had the same problem with "Flight".

***** In terms of plot, Lights Out has the same progression as pretty much every other poor horror film these days. Tedious exercises in waiting for night to fall. And don't get me started on Blair Witch. What an utter waste of screen space, especially for director Adam Wingard, who had been progressing well in the genre with You're Next (impressive, even darkly funny) and The Guest (like with the film Drive, it took a b-movie plot and enhances it with atmospheric screen craft and music). The found footage genre should've stopped after Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity.

[@travistotle]

So what if there's no visible vvitch for the majority of the film? The alien in Alien is only onscreen for about 5 minutes tops too, and that's what also makes that movie a horror classic. It harks right back to the theory that it's what you can't see, but what your imagination fills the gaps in for, that's the most scary. And that's sort of what The VVitch does, but then it throws in a crow devouring an old woman's breast or a psychotic, terrifying murderous goat, or something completely weird and wild like that on top, and that covers all the disturbing bases, for me at least. Like others have stated, he often bitches about jump scare trash horror movies being tedious (which I agree with), but when this movie comes along and doesn't follow those usual tropes, his criticisms seem hollow and hypocritical. This video feels like CinemaSins/Jeremy didn't like the movie for other reasons than he's stating, but is really stretching the truth to find fault with it where there isn't fault to be found. Hmm, just seen they've done an 'Alien' one too... Will watch that and see if he complains about there being very little alien in it... Just watched it and nope. Not a mention. It was a fun stab at some of the illogical movie logic, which worked for that movie. Sinning The VVitch for needing 6 production companies at the start, for example, is just superfluous and also shows a lack of understanding of how film financing works. It's a factual requirement, so making it a sin isn't valid or funny. It just seems odd and a little spiteful.

The dialogue for this movie was IMPOSSIBLE to understand.

[@android19willpwn]

+Hamar Fox I don't think IQ and acuity of hearing are related. I mean I guess if you had a high IQ you could actively make educated guesses as to what words the mumbled syllables you were able to catch were most probably supposed to be, but that's made more difficult by unfamiliar accent and dialect and is generally more effort than most people want to put into watching a movie no matter how smart they are.

[@android19willpwn]

+Hamar Fox yeah. It's easy to hear that they are speaking words, but it's very difficult to understand what the words being spoken are.

[@bookdream]

+Android 19 I disagree, in that I think it was easy to understand what they were saying, the only issue was the volume. But I agree in that understanding them has nothing to do with intellect. I hate when people try to make everything about IQ or intelligence to make themselves feel superior.

[@android19willpwn]

+Hamar Fox believe it or not my first language is English, and I know what phrases are used to convey certain meanings. When dialogue is unintelligible due to low volume and/or muttering people do, in fact, say that it was hard to understand. If it's loud enough that they can hear that words are being spoken but not uttered with enough clarity to be understood at that low volume that's the phrase people normally use. Now, it can also mean that they heard the words fine but didn't understand what they meant, sure, but that is not the only possible meaning or even the most likely one in this scenario. You aren't really in a position to make pronouncements about what the OP meant.

[@android19willpwn]

+Hamar Fox You know what, I'm not even going to fight you on that. You're wrong, but that doesn't actually matter in this context. What matters is what OP meant by his phrasing. HEY MUSHI! Settle a bet for me, would ya? Mr. Fox here insist that you meant that the words were perfectly audible but you couldn't understand what they meant and that makes you dumb. I say that the far more likely intention was that, in this movie of quiet dialogue and poor enunciation using vocabulary that is relatively easy to process, you had a hard time understanding what was being said because you couldn't make out the words being said.

[@benjamincox4211]

I feel like a lot of people complain about the witch not being in much of the movie but the way I saw it was that Tomasine was the Witch the title was referring to and the movie was an origin story for her becoming a witch. It wasn’t just about a witch terrorizing a puritan family, it was how the fear affected the family and how unstable an environment it created for Tomasine. That’s why she finds the sabbath as her home in the end and becomes the Witch

[@gilberttiborjakub9890]

Actually this film has restored my faith in the horror genre. Nowadays Hollywood just produce jumpscare shits and action/monster movies, and they try to sell as a "horror". The which has showed us how scary should be a movie without constantly running CGI monsters, and other clichés. Good job!

[@Mary_Zacarias]

In response to the whole "Demon Bunny" thing, it's common belief that witches have something called A Familiar. The Familiar helps her do her deeds (ex. disrupting a neighbor's sheep, spying, stealing, etc.) and, in reward, she gives him a drop of her blood from her "teet". This teet was either a birthmark or a mole located anywhere on the body- that's why people who had birthmarks or the like were seen as "witches" and tried.

[@josephwodarczyk977]

The double v sin is sort of wrong. On the 123 wtf review, he says that Eggers emailed him that it was used when you ran out of w's by printing presses at the time when the movie takes place. He saw it used on a witch poster and liked it.

I want to preface this with the fact that I'm fan of cinemasins, and I enjoy all their content. That said: I can't believe he's sinning how this movie DIDN"T beat it's viewers over the head with exposition. And he complains that "it takes this movie forever to Witch". No, it doesn't. Thomason is the Witch the movie is about. I'm so glad they didn't have it be some silly Witch villain revenge plot like we've seen a million times, or some kind of horror gorefest of the Witch murdering everyone herself right and left. This movie had character, and understands that horror works best when it's subtle. Such a good movie.

I have seen this movie in actual world premiere in film festival with director interview, year before release and...HOLY SHIT, that atmosphere in cinema (huge one, main hall with almost 1000 seats) was amazing. It's not horror in common sense (even director, who was very, very nice and polite guy, said that), it's more like really tense drama. Also, they studied shitload of materials about witches (he actually bring copies of that material, although I couldn't understand anything, they seemed pretty legit) and every animal in this movie (besides dog) was in some connection with witches. There were multiple narrations about 7 sins, original sin and he also noted that if you forget witches (yeah, it looks hilarious), the whole story can be real due to bad food, isolation etc. Also, he was very, very young. For me, the best movie of the festival, hands down. Yes, it has it's flaws (subtitles are the must), but over all, pretty good movie

[@ilovemydogapollo]

Finally watched this movie tonight. I thought it was a really cool picture of what 17th century people thought was happening with witches. We hear those stories like "how could they believe that? It is too silly to even be scary." This movie opens a window to that idea. While I was not SCARED, I can imagine how frightened an isolated family or village could be. The isolation and the massiveness of the wilderness would be oppressive. I didn't go into it looking to like it. I was just trying to kill time seeing if I could find a horror movie that scares me. Witches don't do it for me. But this was a really fascinating window to the 1600s.

I first saw this movie in the theater and thought it was boring, unintelligible trash. Then, I watched it again at home WITH subtitles and actually understood the dialogue. I now know it to be one of the best horror movies I've seen in years. Gotta turn on the subtitles tho...they definitely help!

[@deathhzrd]

This movie wasn’t supposed to be a horror film, it was a love letter to 18th century religious storytelling and. Coming of age story... the director has a background in colonial America and understands the dialect, the people and the tone/attitude, it perfectly encapsulates life in the 1700s and pretty much every “sin” was either a misunderstanding of the source material or just played off for laughs... Remember when cinemasins actually made videos outlining actual problems with movies instead of just making useless points in attempt for filler to reach the 10 minute mark...

[@joenuts3555]

It wasn't the accent that made it hard to understand it was the fucked audio, though that probably added another layer to something already hard to hear.

[@TheGoldenDunsparce]

If the audio was as bad in the movie as they were in the clips shown in this video, knowing the accent won't help you understand wtf that're saying. It's difficult to hear. Maybe the audio mixing was poorly-done, or they just mumbled or spoke too quietly, but there's no denying that it's tough to understand most of what they're saying.

Hahaha I had translate for my boyfriend. He has dyslexia and sometimes has a hard time with normal speech. He was like "why the heck do you know how to translate this 'old English?', actually middle English. If you grew up reading the Bible or old books it's a lot easier to flip the words around or just listen for the subject of the sentence and go from there. I guess being raised in a cult did well for me in one way, and that's understanding the middle English of the King James Bible. But like, did you grow up having to read and understand the Bible? Might be why you're good at understanding the English language about 500 years ago xx

[@spaceglitter3033]

Ash M Interesting, I'm good with unscrambling unusual use of words and am good at deciphering old words to their modern english equivalent. I had a pretty decent time figuring out what they were saying. They seem to use that dialect so naturally, the volume can feel like a problem which could happen anytime you're not familiar with a different dialect or just (like me) if you're not perfect at understanding what's being said in a scene without subtitles or rewinding. and with this movie, it's not hard to miss things if I'm not paying attention. I also have read Shakespearian scenes until I could understand them so perhaps that might've helped.
