Description

"The Witch" is a 2015 horror film that tells the story of a Puritan family in 1630s New England who are banished from their community and forced to live on the edge of a dark and foreboding forest. As they try to build a new life, strange occurrences begin to happen, including the disappearance of their infant son and the family's descent into paranoia and religious hysteria. The film explores themes of religious fanaticism, the fear of the unknown, and the breakdown of family relationships.

The film was directed by Robert Eggers and stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the family's oldest daughter, Thomasin, who is accused of witchcraft by her own family. The film received critical acclaim for its unsettling atmosphere, detailed period setting, and strong performances, particularly by Taylor-Joy. The film also drew criticism for its slow pace and reliance on historical accuracy over jump scares and other traditional horror film tropes.

Overall, "The Witch" is a thought-provoking horror film that uses its period setting and religious themes to create a chilling and unsettling atmosphere. Its emphasis on historical accuracy and character development over cheap scares and gore sets it apart from many other horror films and makes it a must-see for fans of the genre.

Filmed as the immediate continue of the first 1974 movie in the franchise signature "shock 'till you drop" style, Texas Chainsaw 3D, picks up the story line of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre exactly where it was left off by the first movie. So, in order to refresh all the aforegoing events of the movie you may need to watch once again (or just watch) the first one. However, it's needless to say that Texas Chainsaw 3D is the seventh movie in this slasher franchise, so it would be very hard (if not impossible) to determine what the difference between them all. Nevertheless, the CGI effects are developing constantly, which, in the case of horror movies, means that the quality of bloodbaths and other meat ins and outs would be incredibly realistic in this new John Luessenhop's movie. The story of Texas Chainsaw 3D starts when Heather Miller learns that she inherits the mansions from her grandmother she never known; when she visits her new house, he realizes that the mansion is inhabited by some horrible entity. As for ensemble cast it needs some special words about: the main protagonist, a gorgeous Heather Miller is portrayed by Alexandra Daddario, who may be familiar to you by her participating in such a well-known projects as Hall Pass, Bereavement, Nurse Jackie and Damages; while Dan Yeager plays the main villain, Leatherface - you may not know him well, but this was the guy who has produced Ordinary Average Guys short film in 2011.
