Anya Taylor-Joy is sexy.
The reason you watch this movie is because Anya Taylor-Joy is hot. Is there any American man who wouldn't look at Anya Taylor-Joy's sexy naked body? As a European man, I love Anya Taylor-Joy naked. Anyway, this movie is set during a witch hunt in America, and later Satan actually appears. And the movie ends with the woman played by Anya Taylor-Joy becoming an obscene woman as Satan said, wandering the streets naked and performing obscene sex rituals. I like movies with this kind of atmosphere. I hope there is a sequel to this movie. Anyway, Anya Taylor-Joy is very, very sexy. And this is a sexy movie. - phuckracistgop - 4 March 2024
So so
Very tiresome theme of going black throughout the film and the usual ask a question and get a blank stare as a response.
Certain scenes were muddled and dark/hazy making hard to figure out what was happening.
Add the predictability of who was going to kick the can and verbiage that was hard to comprehend, and not necessarily because of old English dialect. It was more on the sound quality and Mumbling of their lines.
Add a bit of overacting of the possessed child prior to his expiration in the attic.
After that when it came to various plot holes, or just bad parenting when the brat twins were acting out and the oldest daughter caught the flack while multitasking.
Funny how I didn't notice the matriarch of the family never contributed to the running of their farm, yet would go ballistic at the drop of a dime on the oldest child.
The no ending end was rather stale with the witches convention within walking distance of the farm, but never located by the father or Caleb while setting traps.
My take on the family would be
1. Religious fruitcake father 2. Schizophrenic mother 3. Doe-Eyed daughter/soon to be witch 4. Disobedience oldest son/2nd victim 5. Bratty twins who finally got what was coming to them.
