The Witch (VVitch?)

Thought this was really good, one of the best new films i've seen recently.
A slow burner that is subtle and builds tension rather than relying on jump scares and gore, well written and acted and creepy.
Although due to the accents i must admit i ended up turning on the subtitles so as not to miss any dialogue.
The young girl of the family who ends up being accused of witchcraft was really a good little actress i thought and also the dad stood out.
The reveal scene was creepily effective and low key and was definitely a highlight.
Definitely worth watching, apparently this was the directors first feature which makes it even more impressive.
Will get many more watches from me.
Recommended 9/10
