2. Mark - 1 star - "The Witch" has been praised by many as a horror masterpiece, but I couldn't disagree more. The movie was extremely confusing, with a disjointed narrative that left me feeling lost and uninterested. The supposedly terrifying moments were few and far between, and when they did occur, they fell flat. I found myself checking the time repeatedly, waiting for the movie to be over. In my opinion, "The Witch" failed to deliver on its promise of horror and left me feeling dissatisfied.
3. Emma - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "The Witch" as a fan of horror films, but it fell short of my expectations. The slow pace and lack of scares made it difficult to stay engaged throughout the movie. The ending seemed abrupt and left me with more questions than answers. While the cinematography and atmosphere were commendable, they couldn't compensate for the lack of a compelling storyline. Overall, "The Witch" didn't leave a lasting impression and didn't live up to the hype for me.
4. Jake - 2 stars - As a horror enthusiast, I was excited to watch "The Witch" after hearing all the positive reviews. However, I found the movie to be disappointing. The slow-burning plot took too long to build up, and when it finally did, the payoff wasn't worth it. The scares were predictable and lacked originality. Additionally, the characters felt underdeveloped, leaving me with little emotional investment. While "The Witch" had its moments, they were far too few and far between to make it a truly enjoyable horror film.
