"Fear is simply the result of knowledge and imagination. It's the simplest thing to scare someone, all you do is tell them a piece of something you know, and let them do the rest."- C.E. Robertson

BONUS: Movie Review- The Witch: A New England Folk Tale
Quiet. Haunting. Taut. A lovely departure from your typical horror tale. The Witch is one of the besthorror movies to come out in the last decade. It touches on a very real form of desolation and fear that most tales ignore. I would have like a more consistent tension, and more of the little tidbits expanded. There are a lot of scenes that hint at deeper meaning and are then left unexplored. And the score is poorly timed. Places where the quiet edge of the movie should be preserved to give the full tension of the moment are ruined by a sudden cacaphony of sound that instead of enhancing the thrill, throw you out of the moment. But even with those things this movie has the most disturbing scene I've ever watched in it. An ending that is satisfying and creepy, a compelling story that will make you think and an authenticity that is currently unparalleled in popular movie culture. 7.5/10
