Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Glorious pre-CGI gore that looks like melted crayons and ambition.

Sound

Synth score that sounds like a Casio having an existential crisis.

Best for:Friends: Bad movie night where you roast the microwave death scene together.·Background: Chores? This plays itself while you fold laundry and occasionally look up horrified.·Rewatch: Second viewing: count how many times the witch cackles for no reason.
Heads up:Gore: Exploding heads and a particularly nasty circular saw incident.·Violence: Child death in opening; witch doesn't discriminate by age.

Trivia

Released in some markets as 'The Witch' to confuse audiences into thinking it was the 1968 classic.

Memorable

The film's most infamous death involves a microwave and a character named Arty—yes, really.
