Movie Review: The Witch (2016) “STAY OUT OF THE WOODS!!!!”

I do not like horror movies.  I think I’ve made that clear over years of reviewing films, so you’re going to have to take that bias into account and I am perfectly upfront regarding it.  However, if a film comes along and is critically acclaimed, I usually try to put my genre preferences aside and give it a chance.  The fact that The Witch is at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes is the ONLY reason I watched it in my continuing slog through early 2016 films I missed.  I have now viewed The Witch.  Rotten Tomatoes and I continue to part ways as reviewing metrics, because I would watch London Has Fallen five times in a row before having to sit through five minutes of The Witch again.
