I, conversely to the previous commenter, loved everything about this fucking film. I wish I’d seen it in theaters when I had the chance, granted, I’d have probably been absolutely disgusted by those individuals who didn’t like it and laughed at it and been starting fistfights, but hey, no accounting for taste.
It’s one of the best horror films I’ve seen ever. Its atmosphere is the time period and the culture in which it takes place. Satan and damnation were a real fear to these sad people.
It’s really a wonderful period horror fantasy. And drama. These characters in my opinion, felt quite genuine and their struggles felt real. Their arguments and decisions and thought processes felt like those real people in that time in that place would have made. It even points out the sideways manner in which sexuality in repressed, isolated people can arise. Even Thomasin’s last scene, in which (spoiler duh) she joins the coven to me felt like something someone in that situation would do. What was left for her? Travel the countryside alone back to the plantation where she would be placed under heavy scrutiny? After having murdered her own mother and witnessed her entire family fall apart and die or vanish, I mean, what else would be going through her mind but self blame and assumptions of her own damnation? Why not just sign the book and “live deliciously”?
And the horror is in wondering/worrying what will happen next. I mean, when in the first few minutes, a baby is ground up into flying ointment, anything is on the table. Also it’s not often that an attractive woman with exposed cleavage makes me squirm in my seat from discomfort. Seriously, that was the creepiest scene in the movie and no one can tell me different.
So, “What dost thou want? Wouldst thou like to taste of butter? A pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? Wouldst thou like to see the world?” Then I say see this fucking movie. Granted that’s your job ain’t it Simon.

Worst movie I have seen in years. Not scary, creepy, suspenseful, or tense in the least. Boring? It is that and then some. Characters I didn’t care about, doing things I didn’t care about (not to mention not taking 2 seconds to ponder anything) make up about 85% of the movie. Do not be surprised to have a good amount of chuckling going on by the audience because of how ridiculous the whole tedious affair gets.
