I thought The Witch was a good movie that kept me on the edge of my seat, and I would certainly recommend it to others, particularly to people that enjoy horror movies. Religion played a major role in the movie, as a family gets banished from their village due to their religious differences from the other people who live there. This movie really emphasized how important religion was back then and to the Puritans. As a result of the family’s passion towards their religion, they leave the village and eventually encounter supernatural experiences, which probably made many viewers of this movie scared. As a fan of horror movies, I enjoyed the scary scenes and found them very entertaining. An interesting aspect of the movie was that a family was sent away from a village due to their religion. Looking back at this, some may even consider this slightly ironic, as many people at this time came from parts of Europe to America in order to obtain freedom. In fact, a major freedom or reason to come to America was likely religious freedom. Overall, this was a thrilling movie that was entertaining, scary, and even had some educational insights as well.
