Full Review (Spoilers)

The Witch is a tough watch. First and foremost this movie isn’t bad but it is quiet uneventful. You might be expecting a lot of thrills and suspense for your witch craft movie but it disappoints. It would have been a better movie if they condensed the whole movie into one hour. If you really want to watch it then I say catch it when it comes on TV. Don’t even waste a dollar on the ticket price.

DC's Hypothetical Corner

Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.

I’d condense the whole movie into about an hour to keep it from being so uneventful.
