7.5 / 10
Translated from swedish: I can say that I admire "The VVitch: A New-England Folktale" in a cold-blooded way. It is a well-crafted film that showcases a lot of skilled filmmaking, fantastic atmosphere building, impressive direction and acting, and at its best moments creates great cinematic dread.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: Balancing between drama and horror proves to be difficult here, as it feels like you don't quite manage to appeal to enthusiasts from either camp. However, the production quality and the innovative approach that a young filmmaker like Eggers manages to achieve still make me curious about what he will do in the future.

4 / 10
Translated from swedish: Although Eggers in a way manages to create a sense of folktale with his vision, the result is still sluggish, serious and dreary. It is too gloomy, even though the plot is dramatically built up towards a climax.
