puts me to sleep
An atmospheric period piece slowburner with a worthy third act
(No spoilers)
Witch sets a convincing stage in England's ugly past, creating a dreary atmosphere and a slowburn plot which builds steadily to a proper horror movie twisty finish.
Russell Shaw gives a standout performance, but the cast is solid throughout. I think we'll be seeing more of Sarah Alexandra Marks in the future as well.
In the final equation it's not a perfect movie but directors Hinde and Zammit have put together a solid effort for a modest budget, given the ambition of a period piece. Moreover, as a horror film, the pacing delivers a solid twist finish that leaves to me think we be seeing more from them soon enough.
