(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.

Honestly?

1. As non native english speaker I'd know that in 1500 you would speak like thy/thou/etc , and not "what's up?". ESPECIALLY in England (dunno USA ).

2. Then come the effects. Sometimes reasonably good but never great (rather poor).

3. Actors' play is somewhat good but didn't make me fall of the chair.

4. Music... what music ?

5. Costumes bearable but NOT GREAT.

I could go on till I reach 20 or even 100 perhaps. But what's the point?

The movie I was so looking forward to (because of the trailer) seems to be great... Yes GREAT.

Disappointment.

Make yourself a favor and don't watch it.
