Only if you hold my hand.

I don't even know what the film's about to be honest, but I've heard great things!

i highly recommend going into it with exactly that much knowledge and no assumptions.

It's more unnerving than scary. It's a good film no doubt, but more unnerving than scary I'd say.

Unnerving I can deal with... kind of lol.

Good to hear! If only we could go into all films like that... I imagine the experience would be very different.

if it's a film i'm keen on, these days i maybe watch the initial teaser max, or nothing at all, even to the point of closing my eyes in the cinema during trailers. cinema without the baggage!

Great film. Like others have said, it's not a typical horror movie. It's more concerned with slowly ratcheting up a sense of impending dread than it is with making you jump. There's also gobs of compelling thematic undercurrents that run throughout that elevate this from the standard horror fare.

Hopefully, this steel makes its way to other outlets. I found the Canadian release a bit underwhelming, but I quite like the look of this--especially if they give it a proper finish.

will there be a GB for this?

will there be a GB for this?

I'd be happy to help but as The Witch is a Universal Sony Pictures HE release it is almost 100% certain that this steelbook will be released in a number of other countries, too. We'll know more in a couple of months.

That's the only reason I still haven't watched it yet... I'm too scared!

The movie is not 'scary'. Watch the first 10 minutes of the movie, and if you're not grossed out or if your body doesnt fold itself in half after watching a particular scene, then keep watching. Otherwise, turn the movie off.

Watched this again last night after all the chatter and it is made so well.
It reminds me of kill list and under the skin where they are border line art house films but not poncey ... If that makes sense

It is very eerie though and I forgot how much the twins scare the sh*t out of me lol.... Weird kids

 

[BluSteel2012]

Haha good, because that's exactly what I was going for.

But anyway... think I'll pick this up for cheap from CeX on Friday and give it a watch over the weekend.

I'm guessing you won't think much of it @Noodles

It's very overrated and NOT scary in the least.......

 

[serjitank]

It's not a horror movie and it's not meant to be scary

I can't make sense of this either??!!

What does 'live deliciously' mean?

I really didn't "get" this film at all. It was one of the occasions where I felt angry after watching it because it was so highly rated by most people and so I went into it thinking it'd scare the sh!t out of me - not send me to sleep.

 

[Damien666]

the music itself is very creepy
I have the soundtrack and love it
and I love the 'Black Philip'' back artwork

I'll report back after watching it this weekend.

What does 'live deliciously' mean?

It's from a line of dialogue in the film: "Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?"

It's become a widespread meme.

Last night watching it the second time I did think I'd love to own the soundtrack. If a vinyl came out with that mondo art I'd be all over it

I love the name black Philip too lol. Man just thinking about the twins freak me out. They are like little old people

Durr, Lol oh yeah, now it makes sense

I thought @apsmith21 misread my comment thinking I was hating on the film. I just couldn't work out why he quoted my message lol

I have two Black Philip t-shirts. They're both a pentagram design with his head in the middle. One says Black Philip and the other Live Deliciously.
