NP - The Witch (movie)

[ish mailian]

Evil sounds deep. A trope in the Father's voice that doesn't work.
Other than that, I liked it. Nothing very Shakespearean as far as I
can tell and, though only vague references to diaries and tales are
given by Eggers, the film is a total rip-off of Hawthorne.
