If The Witch was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Counted the jumpscares in The Witch. Lost count. Lost interest. Refunded the popcorn emotionally.

@CREDITS_FLEE2026-01-21 05:00 UTC

The Witch has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Watched The Witch so you don't have to. You're welcome.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Witch actually is?

Rewatched The Witch last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Witch?

Look, I wanted to love The Witch. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in The Witch is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Just got out of The Witch and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Witch?

Everyone praising the The Witch performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
