Just watched The Witch. Pretty good although the Old English dialogue was somewhat tough to understand in some scenes. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
 
I actually watched it last weekend as well. I'm still not sure what I think about it. I did have captions on which it made it easier to follow.
 
Vestron Video and its history of gnarly art when the cover art of movies mattered!! This is a favorite of mine. evil:

KILLING GROUND Horrifies with Raw Realism and Terror (Sundance Review)
http://nerdist.com/killing-ground-horrifies-with-raw-realism-and-terror-sundance-review/

...A wickedly clever edit masterfully teases tension by playing against audience assumption. Like our heroes, we’re offered hints that serve as warning for what lies ahead: an abandoned hat here, an eerie silence there. But by the time we’ve caught on to what’s really going on, it’s too late. We’re snared. At the turn of Act One, a lone, dirt-caked baby stumbling mutely but methodically toward an unaware Sam will be the chilling tipping point that pulls audiences to the edge of their seats. And Killing Ground will give them no reprieve to breathe.

What unfolds is a story so grim and grounded that it plays out like the nightmarish true crimes that haunt towns for generations. Power’s script bleeds with realism, rejecting tropes that would abruptly transform chipper book publisher Sarah into some avenging angel or friendly doctor Ian into a suddenly realized soldier. They are average tourists, lost, terrified and determined to survive. It’s that last bit that makes them dangerous. In the tale of these grounds, Power weaves together divergent threads to create a tapestry of tension and terror that is nearly suffocating.

Part of the Sundance Midnight program. Sounds interesting, but it could also be a lot of hype.

Don't take this the wrong way, I want to see this. But I am wary of critics who praise this without any real critique. White guilt, pandering, etc. It's the man's first directorial effort...I honestly doubt it's a flawless movie.

I don't know if that review didn't give it any critique. I mean they did give it an A-. And that might be okay in the eyes of most people, but among Asians, it would be considered a failure. mhihi: :cheers:

That's the difference between White guilt and Asian guilt, haha.

Here’s the full synopsis:

A deeply atmospheric and terrifying new horror film, The Blackcoat’s Daughter centers on Kat (Kiernan Shipka) and Rose (Lucy Boynton), two girls who are left alone at their prep school Bramford over winter break when their parents mysteriously fail to pick them up. While the girls experience increasingly strange and creepy occurrences at the isolated school, we cross cut to another story—that of Joan (Emma Roberts), a troubled young woman on the road, who, for unknown reasons, is determined to get to Bramford as fast as she can. As Joan gets closer to the school, Kat becomes plagued by progressively intense and horrifying visions, with Rose doing her best to help her new friend as she slips further and further into the grasp of an unseen evil force. The movie suspensefully builds to the moment when the two stories will finally intersect, setting the stage for a shocking and unforgettable climax
