re: Just saw the Witch

Real talk...fact is this movie was just okay. IT WAS NOT SCARY. Not even close. The cinematography was great. That's about it.

Also, IT WAS NOT GRUESOME.

The movie did not show a baby being ground into mush. The movie projects that idea but does not actually show a baby being ground.

If the filmmaker had simply stuck a little hand or foot on the grinding stone then it may have been gruesome, but details like that weren't shown.

The only part that was borderline gruesome was the crow nibbling on the mother's tit, and even that was fairly tame for a so called "horror movie".

This movie causes a LOT of debate. Is it scary or not? Is it a horror or suspense? Is it a good, decent, or bad movie?

Debate is great.

However, the problem is that the folks who loved this movie don't want a debate. If they encounter someone who wasn't scared or creeped out by this movie, they refuse to believe it and therefore peg that individual as a troll or hipster. They do this to make themselves feel better for being so affected by a mediocre movie which isn't even a horror flick.

What can I say? This movie made me laugh more than anything. So many missed opportunities in this movie...where do I begin?

But my opinion doesn't matter. I'm just a troll seeking attention, right? Because this movie was scary and anyone who thinks otherwise must be a liar.

LOL
