Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful 1d
4/5
Not for everyone, especially if you want escapist popcorn horror or are allergic to horror with social commentary. But for viewers who love folk horror that is moody, mythic, feminist, and fierce, this is a Dutch delight worth seeking out. Go to Full Review

Everything from the acting, to the screenplay, to the designs helps to reinforce every other element. ... You can do a lot with a little, if used economically and smartly. Heresy does just that. Go to Full Review

h W. @realhappyharry 1h Very good witch flick. Moody, dark, atmospheric. Those reviews that complained it was “woke” don’t understand that it WAS all about domineering religious zealots persecuting and torturing women, it actually was. See more Esra Y @RT95409318 20h Uses it's running time cleverly. I wish more movies were like this in the current mainstream landscape which every single movie is over 2 and half hour. Those who claim movie is woke clearly doesn't have even one piece of knowledge about history of witch hunting and burning women alive. See more tm11999 M @tm11999 3d wow, woke to the nth degree. white women rule, men are bad and their stupid religion (Christianity) is the evil patriarchy, where men are drunk and stupid and blame women for God not helping. woman is saved in the end by going with the scary white girl savior deep into the forest. clip your toenails instead. See more Troy M @TroyMuni 5d Starts off really strong. Early on, I started thinking this may be the closest anyone's gotten to recreating The Witch. Then the wheels start falling off and the story devolves into your typical girl power, men are evil, agenda driven slop. It's a real shame because the acting and atmosphere were great. Such a waste of talent and effort. This could've been great if it just remained focused on the horror and plot elements of the actual story. See more L W. @phillybird52 6d Very well done, atmospheric and well shot Pleasantly surprised by this one! See more Read all reviews
