I watched The Witch last night on amazon prime. It's a horror movie written from the point of view of 17th century Puritans. The movie really strives to be authentic with the story, dialog and setting so it's not like anything I've ever seen. I don't want to give away too much, but t's a slow burner that got under my skin. I really loved it.

It's a slow burner and not for everyone. They use an early English, so I had to turn on subtitles. If I had seen it in the theaters I think I would have been a bit lost.

For whatever reason I like gritty movies from earlier time periods. Another movie that I liked quite a bit more than most people is Black Death. It's movie that takes place in England during the plague, which would place it earlier than The Witch. It's about group of religious mercenaries who are tasked with finding a village suspected of witchcraft because it's untouched by the plague. You can find it on netflix.

Same here. It seems like either people love it or hate it. Doesn't seem to be much in between.
