The Book of the Witch

I knew nothing about this film when I noticed it in my Amazon Prime recommendations, so I chose it with low expectations.

I was delighted to find two main characters that seemed real and attractive, each with their own relatable fears and problems. Their parts were well played with credible dialogue and a convincing work/friendship relationship. The witch antagonist was well integrated into the story and scary in a subtle but horrific way.

I thought the two main location settings were well chosen, well lit and well shot. The pace of the film was steady but the tension mounted nicely to a satisfyingly horrific climax.

This was well crafted by Joshua Sowden. I look forward to seeing more of his work.
