Fun fact: the goat's real name is Charlie. The director absolutely hated working with him - the kids were great, the goat was a major pain in the ass. Wasn't even a trained goat. Charlie didn't want to do anything the director wanted him to do. Charlie had two modes: sleep/do nothing and attack Ralph Ineson. For some reason Charlie really, really hated Ralph Ineson. The feeling was mutual, because Charlie actually managed to injure Ralph when he rammed into him and dislodged a tendon in his ribs. Charlie is now happily retired on a farm somewhere.

[@MsSphinx91]

Charlie was method acting. What? Only Daniel Day Lewis is allowed to stay in character on set?

[@gortrobot578]

Not gonna lie, I was laughing my head off as I read this.

keep in mind this family got kicked out of the village for being TOO puritan, thats even scarier if you ask me

[@danieltobin4498]

So lemme get this straight...the puritans, who originally immigrated to the Netherlands but left because they weren't Christian enough, kicked out a family for being too Christian? I somehow love this fact

Warning, spoiler comment! Ending was a let down? lol, ending was great. Also, they did show what the witch was doing, she was grinding up that baby and rubbing it on herself and her broom since that's part of their witchcraft to fly. Same with the end, the two twins were taken and that's what you saw at the end, them flying from the sacrifice of the twins....

[@adblockevery1243]

I agree. I thought the ending was the best part.

[@punktrash3681]

That rabbit needs an Oscar.

[@CorpsmanPrivateer]

This was a great fucking movie, easily full price. The director had a vision for an authentic folk horror movie and he pulled it off. I don't know what corny ass plot twists the Koreys' wanted, but I'm glad the movie didn't have them. The story was great, and delivered with a subtlety that didn't insult the audience. A man who sees himself too righteous for a Puritan plantation drives his family into danger while slowly compromising his own values. A witch that is played straight, unambiguously evil, and legitimately dangerous. No cop outs, no slow mo, no kung fu fighting, no jump scares.

[@jmiester25]

Kory is confusing plot with story. The plot is extremely minimal, but the story and how we see the complete breakdown of a family making the most out of a simple plot, THAT is effective storytelling.

[@captaintalon4485]

SATAN! In all seriousness though, I tried to keep my hype level down knowing full well I could have been disappointed by another movie were calling "The Next Big Horror Movie" but I gotta say I was pleasantly please. This movie was awesome :D

[@alternative_action]

"Silly rabbit... call me silly rabbit again! 😂😂😂 this was too funny! All joking aside.... this movie was disturbing. That possession scene freaked me out a lot and I'm not easily scared. I love this movie.

[@Nitzah]

A thing to note is that during that time the Puritans believed the woods were evil and that satanic and deranged things were deep in there especially at night. (For example the Natives that inhabited the woods was “proof”) That’s why if you wandered into the woods for some reason it wasn’t a shock if you ended up being accused of witchcraft

[@seanbillington3287]

They call the goat "Black Philip" because his fur is black...

[@tinyyuki]

Really enjoyed this review! Normally I ride hard for just Korey and Martin but I really respect how Korey G talks and acknowledges both Korey and Martin. Great review guys

[@iciajay6891]

They filmed that movie bear were I live in Ontario Canada. How it gets darker as the film goes on. In Dec at 4:30pm its nighttime. So I think the lighting really lent to the atmosphere.

[@arnoldrivas4590]

So this is similar to The Revenant, except much more concentrated in terms of the slow pace to get the reward of the film. I'm interested in this film and it seems more like a psychological horror piece in line with a character study of a film.

[@Loopy_Kick]

Awesome review. These guys are totally funny. XD But at 6:50 he says stuff like "the darkness is just this creepy and sense of dread" and "this dark dimension that's forming here." You know, it's kind of strange that people use dark as if darkness is scary, evil, or unnatural. But there's no need to be afraid of the dark, and it is not a negative or unnatural thing. I never could understand it why some people do that. =/ This is just a philosophical thought, but if darkness has been around ever since the beginning of everything before anything else, is all around us, and there is even inside of us (I imagine it gets pretty dark inside of our bodies. I don't think we have light bulbs inside of us), isn't darkness one of the most natural and non-evil things out there? =o And night time is actually one of the most peaceful times for most people. It's when we rewind, recharge, and heal. Can't people just say what they mean? Could have easily said "grim" there, you know. l=/

[@RuffWarl0ck]

I suppose to can be said that the term darkness is alluding to the unknown, and it's pretty obvious how many people that fear the unknown.

[@michaelclausen1135]

+Yay Me If you actually see the movie, you'll understand what they're talking about. They were indeed using it correctly because this is a film that does equate darkness to evil. This is a world where witches were exactly what Puritans thought they were, and you did well to stay away from the woods.

[@JesseEnclave]

+Yay Me Fear of the dark has kept mankind alive from the beginning. Fire was not "invented" for cooking, you know. Humans have abysmal night vision, as well as sub par hearing and smell compared to other animals. We are utterly helpless in the dark, whereas other predators thrive in it. Fear of the dark may represent fear of the unknown now, but in the beginning it was much more literal, with good reason. It may not be as much of a big deal in the cities and in our homes, but if you ever find yourself outdoors in predator country at night? You'd best be afraid of the dark.

[@User-VerseS]

That damn rabbit was a Harbinger of Evil. Everytime it showed up you knew something bad was gonna happen. ⊙﹏⊙

[@yusefendure]

This movie is akin to John Carpenter's 'The Thing and Alex Garland's 'Annihilation.' The level of paranoia destroys all save one in each film. What's 'horrific' about this film is the reality of witch trials, witch hunts, and witch paranoia in a 'society' based on genocide, slavery, and the colonial oppression of women. What was scary about this film? The reality of living in the 1600s New England.

[@johnmath95]

Still one of the funniest episodes.

[@Gundamfan1998]

y'know what's even more disturbing than The Witch? Korey Goodwin without a beard

[@mAcroFaze]

I've randomly been watching The Office for the last couple of days, went to go see The Witch on saturday... didn't recognise that the dad in this was Finchy AT ALL!

[@brett66]

After all the horrible bull**** the daughter has to go through, that actually seemed like a happy ending to me. She gets to go party in the woods for a hundred years instead of being terrified every day that God is going to smite her. The final scene doesn't go on quite long enough for a total sense of resolution... but maybe that abruptness was in line with the rest of the movie's sense of unease.

[@starrgazer9]

True. I'd say the ending was honestly the best part of the entire film -- while being disappointing at the same time. Honestly, it played more like a pilot to a series... it would have worked SOOO much better that way I think.

[@KaylaMarie_]

I loved the ending so much. I wish they could have gotten into why they didn't like it.

[@007Dirtysouth]

I don't think you guys liked it because you don't really understand the religious tone of the movie. Everything was perfect in my opinion. The scene with the tress and sound score was a setup for the unknown which lay ahead for the family. They weren't trying to sell you scary they were foreshadowing. Either way your reviews are always funny and enjoyable

[@sorasgirl0]

Korey G: THANK YOU!! I said the SAME thing to my friends after the movie! What the FUCK where they saying?!?!?! The accents were very thick, and the dialogue was completely different than what most people are used to! While it was interesting to hear actual people speak that way, it also took away from the movie cause I spent too much time scratching my head, figuring out what the hell they were trying to say. While I appreciate the fact that the dialogue was written that way, I would have liked it to be a bit more understandable. I did like the movie though and I'd give it a full price!

[@PetePuebla]

This movie is a rental because a lot of us don't understand Old English and so we need those captions to help us understand what the hell they're saying.

[@Pheelleep]

Just saw this today and if I was to give it a Spill/Double Toasted rating, I'd give this a Rental. Good movie, but more for the older adult crowd. But I would watch it again

[@75smurfette]

Pros of this film: The old English, Black Philip, the crazy rabbit and wondering whether there was sexual abuse between the father & daughter. Everything else was ridiculous, as it stopped making any sense and began to feel they were trying too hard to tell the viewer how artsy this movie is.

[@The3rdGunman]

I be at work binge (listening to) watching these all day and when that beat drops...!!!

[@MrDman21]

LOL@mean-mugging rabbit XD

[@misterbigears8459]

I watched this movie as a DVD, and if seen in a movie house you would miss alot of the dialog so I watched again with subtitles and understood it much better and was therefore scarier and more enjoyable, I could understand what the children were singing about Black Philip.

[@PetePuebla]

I couldn't understand the Ole English at times. I wouldn't say it's an accent, just a different type of language.

[@Equus21]

No one else was even phased in the theater by the movie. People were bored and one guy was even sleeping-I for one found it a very unsettling movie...that's the best word for it-unsettling. I squirmed a few times and felt the urge to look away even. To me, it IS horror-because it's about people's terrible perceptions of each other, AND it's about a terrifying demonic creature stole a baby...

[@izy51]

Goodwin looks crazy different without a beard, much better in my opinion stick to the no beard look for a while

[@AlejandroDeLaRosa05]

I can't wait for Corey's reaction on this😂

[@chazstephens2402]

Wow they really missed the mark here. This is a giant towering horror movie. So disturbing and dark that many people in my screening walked out and a few others had to laugh at it to protect there own psyche. This is not a movie for most people but it is my opinion that this is the scariest darkest most depressing horror film I've seen in a long time. I haven't been scared like this since I was a kid... It's scary in a way that is not fun. But if you don't get what I get out of it that's fine. For horror movie fans who are bored with jump scares and hipster horror... This is for you. It's sounds snobbish but this might only be for horror aficionados.

[@MrFarr007]

I would love to watch a movie with you guys someday...

[@HunterPyouKnowME]

I have no idea how anyone can sit through this entire movie and not be extremely disappointed. From the trailer and everything I saw leading up to it's release I expect more horror and this was a slow, boring, and genuinely unscary movie. I really want to know how people got enjoyment out of this

[@Goken234]

The accents aren't a problem in the slightest. If you can't understand it then use subtitles. The accents are realistic to the time period it's set. There's nothing wrong in saying you can't understand the language because I too had difficulty here and there. But it's not a problem in the reality of the film.

To get the witchy scenes you need to know a bit about superstition folklore (not the Wiccan stuff, the propaganda). But if they'd explained that stuff it might've come across as an exposition dump. Hard call on that.
