    Great watch

    I really enjoyed this one, the plot is quite simple but intriguing and thoroughly engaging. The visual and sound effects were perfect and the acting was good. Nice little gem this one. Watch it with the lights out at night for added effect 😉

    Great base story... just needed more character development.

    Almost there. I love a good scare. This one was a great concept. Missed the mark with no real character development. No build up. Needed to be drawn out .. more tense. enjoyed with the 14 year old teenagers that I watched with but for me .. i wanted to be scared but it never happened. 20% more and it would have been great.

    Pretty fun actually

    Went in with no hope and it was surprisingly entertaining. Jump scares here and there, story and acting was convincing. Worth a watch.

    Lots of horror movies popping out but this one stands out

    I really like this movie its very well made the gore everything the witch is very mean and spares no one.

    The effects where also very good. There is a lot of horror movies being made theses days and to be honest 99% are really bad but this one was a great surprise and stands out from the pack.

    Not a Total Waste of Time, but Nothing Special

    This movie had the right pieces including a likeable protagonist, decent practical effects, and a brisk pace. But the plot felt "forced" by the end and it veered into an average movie. It lacked effective scares and a sense of dread that I like in a "witch" movie and the antagonist was not as frightening as I would have liked.

    I don't regret watching it, but I was hoping for more.

    • Trivia
      Technically this was the #1 theatrical film in North America for five weeks in May 2020, though this was by virtue of being one of the only films playing, as most theaters were closed and most films were out of circulation due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    • Goofs
      During the dinner at the start of the film the Connect 4 grid changes between Ben lines. Although one might think this is actually because Nathan was playing the game, which isn't revealed until later, the change in disks is the red disks and Ben was playing red. Nathan was playing yellow.
