BLOGTOBER 10/2/2022: THE VVITCH/THE WITCH/WHATEVER (2015)
I might admit up front that I chose this movie just to be contrary. It's a great piece of work, don't get me wrong, but people talk about Robert Eggers' feature film debut THE WITCH like it will scare you so badly you'll never come back from it, and I'm just not sure where that comes from. It is beautiful, intelligent, and finely stylized, but as far as delivering primal fear, it's in a category with Jack Clayton's THE INNOCENTS of films whose towering reputation for terror I'm somewhat baffled by. Maybe there is a question to ask here, not about how well things are done, but about what in a movie is meant to scare you.
Tumblr media
Eggers' meticulously constructed period fable concerns a family of early American Puritans who have been spurned from their community for what one senses is too much dogma. This already frightening proposition is compounded by their new environs, an impossibly remote clearing in a shadowy, primeval forest into which the children are forbidden to venture. No sooner have they established themselves, than their baby inexplicably vanishes while in the hands of eldest child Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy). This blow to the family's unity plucks at further loose threads, as innocent secrets and lies within the group are mistaken for devilry, and naturally the lion's share of suspicion falls on the teenage daughter. The situation is a familiar one, and it's easy to imagine the family tearing themselves to pieces over this mutual mistrust that is buttressed by religious conviction and superstition; however, it is simultaneously true that there really is a witch in the woods, perhaps many, orchestrating the dissolution of the family. It's just apparent that they didn't have to work so hard to wreck these people's lives; they're ready to do that on their own.
Tumblr media
THE WITCH is largely a showcase for the exemplary performances of the ensemble—I'd say particularly that of 13 year old Harvey Scrimshaw, who was roundly snubbed for awards by everyone other than a couple of regional film critics' associations, and I think that's bullshit. But ahem anyway, it's important that Eggers doesn't rest on the hoary old laurels of human folly, prejudice, and paranoia: a recipe often done well, but to death. THE WITCH wouldn't be what it is without the literal witches, not just to spice things up aesthetically, but to introduce genuine moral confusion. Thomasin is trapped in a joyless world where her father (Ralph Ineson) hides personal weakness under religious bluster, her mother (Kate Dickie) channels her jealousy of her ripening teenage daughter into all manner of suspicion, and her nearest suitor is her lonely, confused little brother. The religion that is supposed to focus and fortify them does just the opposite, adding to the pain of the loosing the baby the agonizing belief that the unbaptized child's soul now suffers eternally in Hell. Things like humor and actual child's play are easily mistaken for blasphemy and demonic interference, and even the father's devotion to what he believes is the one true gospel is something that separates the family from society, and from direly needed material resources, leaving them stranded and starving. Christianity has done nothing but deprive and alienate these people, which tends to make the way of the witch seem like a liberating, protofeminist option. However, these witches are unambiguously evil, baby-eating slaves to Satan, and their rites so closely resemble what you would find in the Malleus Maleficarum that they are unmistakably the damned, and not enviably empowered avatars of grrl power. So, Thomasin's choice isn't much of a choice; it seems that the high ground is only reached by allowing her family to martyr her, which the compassionate viewer would understand is not an option for a child who isn't hellbent on sainthood. So, THE WITCH is special in that it isn't a parable of human moral failure like THE CRUCIBLE, and it isn't a women's lib allegory either; it's a film in which the Puritan point of view is a legitimate reality, in which one lives a hellish earthly existence, or is delivered to Hell thereafter. In spite of what I said at the top, that's a pretty frightening scenario.
Tumblr media
It's apparent that Ellie Granger and Lucas Dawson, playing the young twins, think they're in a really fun movie. This is patently hilarious.
I do find THE WITCH more frightening in theory than in practice, though. It has wonderful scenes of monstrous mayhem, mostly courtesy the fabulously nude Bathsheba Garnett, and I don't deny their special thrill, but I think that in order to find them really soul-shaking, you might have to have an onboard fear of old ladies—and especially old ladies who are the opposite of maternal. Horror is as often dependent on social mores as it is on primal psychological content; for instance, it may be that the aforementioned THE INNOCENTS doesn't frighten me, in part, because I am not particularly affected by morally ambiguous moppets; that is, I don't have a strong personal investment in the alleged innocence of children. Similarly, using Mme Garnett's naked body as a horrific spectacle (even aided as it is by cinematographer Jarin Blaschke's richly developed atmosphere) suggests that there is something inherently horrifying about aged (and therefore barren, perhaps) women. The Witch's alternate form, Sarah Stephens, is young and vivacious, but her sensuality overflows to the transgressive excess of child rape, in an especially twisted expression of the societal fear of female sexuality. What I mean to say is that THE WITCH works best if you, personally, find it threatening when women take their own desires in hand, or if you, personally, worry about women whose lives are not ruled by a self-sacrificing devotion to the care of children. These are enduring themes in horror; I can point to the recent example of Ti West's X, which expresses such fears in a villainess who is geriatric, violently horny, childless, and dangerous to the young. The same cultural anxiety is at the heart of the notoriety of women like Casey Anthony, Lori Vallow, and Jodi Arias; they aren't simply criminals, but bad mothers, and bad wives and girlfriends whose taboo-smashing behavior seems to disturb the public more than their violence on its own. Not to risk uplifting such women as feminist icons, but I believe the public reaction to their specific crimes stems from the same collective fears that are hyperbolized in THE WITCH as radically anti-social forms of monstrosity. And to folks who have trained themselves to judge every movie through the lens of social justice—say, by labeling everything either feminist or misogynist—I might offer this film as a useful exercise in using art to interrogate different sociopolitical attitudes. You don't have to simply condone or condemn a work based on whether it offers a vision of the civilization in which you'd like to live.

The VVitch (2016)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ .5
Tumblr media
This movie had an aesthetic and a dream. Props to Anya Taylor Joy for being the best part of a film yet again. Is there no role she can’t absolutely BODY?
The pacing of this film was a bit slow at first, but some very intense scenes sprinkled throughout made it less draggy. Gorgeously done.
Also, for some reason the end scene felt very warm and homely. Don’t know what that says about me.
You should watch this film for:
the old time witchy feels
Similar titles:
The Crucible (1996) (let’s go back to high school!)
Hereditary (2018) (very modern lamb to the slaughter, untrusting family)

September 12, 2017
Sebastian stepped onto the ice, his stick in his hand as he skated onto the ice with the other boys that are near his age. It was the first practice for his minor team in Michigan. Sebastian and his family had moved a few weeks ago and were settling into their new home.
Sebastian was not even paying attention to the chatter of his new teammates and just looking at his skates, the coach skated onto the ice and started calling out the lines.
“Hughes, Boldy.” The coach called gaining Sebastian’s attention.
Luke skated over to Boldy, “I’m Luke.” Luke introduced himself to his new defensive partner.
“Sebastian.” Sebastian curtly nodded.
Sebastian and Luke started practicing together and it was like an immediate click and anyone could tell that those two were made to be each others partners.
Luke rushed out after practice and saw the tall boy walking away, “Boldy!” Luke called out jogging over to him.
Sebastian turned around and raised an eyebrow at his new defensive partner.
Luke just cheekily smirked and stood next to him and staring to walk with him, “Your brother is Matt right?” Luke questioned as they both started walking out of the arena. Luke had met Jack’s new friend and teammate Matt Boldy a few weeks ago.
Sebastian nodded and stuffed his hands into his pockets, “Yours is Jack?” Sebastian had heard about the Hughes from his brothers.
“Yup.” Luke nodded, “Are you walking to the other rink?” Luke asked as they seemed to both be walking to the same way and Luke knew Jack had practice right now and Luke gets picked up there with Jack.
Sebastian nodded and Luke left it at that getting the feeling Sebastian didn’t like to talk a lot.
They started their tradition of walking together after every practice.
