I felt the presence of Satan watching this film. At the end the whole theater erupted into demonic chanting. Forgive me Father!

With incredible attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to the world he has created, Eggers slowly, surely builds tension until it's almost unbearable. And that's delightful, if you're a horror fan. It's a terrific film.

This is a very promising first feature by Eggers and showcases some exceptional acting.

Although Eggers is discreet – the things you don’t see are more horrifying than those you do – the picture’s relentlessness sometimes feels like torment. But if you can survive it, The Witch is a triumph of tone.
