People complaining about the lack of jump scares in the movie.

Wow. I never grasped the fact that the average person actually thinks jump scares are horror.

Jesus christ, the average person really is an absolute moron.

I don't believe you. There's no way people can actually have this bad of an opinion.

To play devils advocate here, jump scares can actually get the pulse racing so that the horror has a longer lasting effect. Look at the new blair witch for instance, there are a few, but they seem to set up the real horror moments better.

That being said, there was really only one scene in the witch the was kinda creepy, the rest was really boring and a chore to watch. Hereditary on the other hand, was fantastic.

I thought the Witch was okay. Definitely wasnt jump scare horror. And It wasnt even really atmospheric horror, more so horror on the intellectual basis. When you stop to think that the daughter genuinely did nothing wrong and loved her family, but her family is what left her with no other option but to become the monster that they thought she was, its scary how your family could turn on you like that as youre just a child.

The Witch is legitimately one of the best horror movies ever made.

Also, way better than Hereditary.

It also had a similar dreary atmosphere that Silence had which isn't a horror movie at all, but it just leaves you with an ominous and disturbed feeling after watching it similar to The Witch.

That thread has over 2k comments and the top one has nearly 1k upvotes. The discussion is overwhelmingly in praise of the film. I'd hardly say nitpicking two comments (out of two thousand) that only have 2 upvotes each, highlights how 'cancerous' the Reddit discussion is.

Really? That movie sucked. Like someone else said, it was a chore to watch. I was not scared or creeped out by much of anything in that movie.

I mean, considering Hereditary was pretty much the same movie as The VVitch, this isn't an objectively bad opinion.

The Witch is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I don't mind the slow burn of it, but nothing interesting happens in it. It's just fucking boring.

I wouldnt call it horror. More just historical fiction. Like that Abigail Williams book we all read in HS. Its main emphasis is not on horror but it talks about spooky things.

I've tried watching it three times now and all three times I fell asleep. >_>

People always compare it to Hereditary but I fucking loved that movie and have watched it a few times already.

I guess I'm not a fan of the story or characters or whatever. Something about it just isn't doing anything for me.

The accents are fucking terrible. You can't understand what they're saying without subtitles and even with them, it's super boring. I almost fell asleep watching it as well.

But yeah, Hereditary is basically the Witch if it was good. I loved that one.

Nah, man, the VVitch was awful and was only good in its last scene.

The whole movie can be boiled down to: something about God, fasting, preying and then doing chores while it's grey outside.

The movie had jump scares. They just turned out to always be revealed as innocent things like a mother saying "Boo!" or a guy chopping wood.

The omission was deliberate and I respect that about the movie. They didn't need things to pop out at you. It worked on a level of making you care about what happened to the characters and creating a sense of unease as the story unfolded.

Speaking of The Witch, there are two terms which need to be re-added into the English vernacular:

1) Two-day

"I'll be back in a two-day."

2) Aright

"She speaks aright."

This movie never really clicked with me.
I can understand why people like it, and I even see why it's a good movie, but it just never scared or unnerved me in the slightest
