The Witch nails the bleak, oppressive tone with its dreary, isolated setting that perfectly suits the story. The cast delivers strong performances across the board, with the father (Ralph Ineson) especially compelling as a deeply religious Puritan ways drive the family’s descent into chaos. The film hooks you early with its eerie premise and delivers a memorable, unsettling ending. Unfortunately, the middle portion is bloated and drags the pacing. Trim 30 minutes, and this would be a far tighter and more effective horror experience.
