THE WITCH WASN'T REAL, EVERYONE WAS TRIPPING BALLS FROM THE CORN

THE WITCH WASN'T REAL, EVERYONE WAS TRIPPING BALLS FROM THE CORN.

Clues were all there.

Ergot doesn't grow on corn. Furthermore, it would need to be stored a long time for the hallucinogens to be biosynthesized. Furthermore, it would make them really sick, not just give a few of them spoopy hallucinations which the audiences also see. Also, there's a flying witch at the beginning of the movie, before they're even growing the corn.

How do you know she flew?

She just rubbed baby entrails.

rêddit pls

t. Cracked

People that complain about horror movies having supernatural themes are cancer.

There was a coven of witches. There was Satan masquerading as a goat. Fucking deal with it.

It's subtly done, but she starts floating on a stick she's holding right after rubbing on the baby entrails, and the next scene is her silhouette on the moon flying towards it.

I wasn't hallucinating my boner while watching Thomasin and that's all I care about.

yeah, just watched that part and it's there. I got shivers throughout the whole thing why is this movie so fucking good.

>thomasin's butt

Live this meme

...

ayy lmao

>that tongue flick on the underside of your cock

You guys focusing on whether or not Black Philip was really Satan or not, or if the witches had any actual power are completely missing the point of the film.

The film isn't about the existence of supernatural beings, it's about Puritan/Christian values being completely useless in a survival situation. No amount of praying or Bible verse is capable of saving their lost baby, stopping their son from being a sexual deviant, stopping the father from stealing the silver cup from his own wife. Nor was religion able to console the mother's grief, or make her any good at raising her two hell spawn, or stop her from lashing out at her daughter over a crime she didn't commit.

The family falls apart, but their faith doesn't, and it leads to their demise. Her joining the covenant at the end is a symbolic gesture to signify how completely Christianity failed her family.

and was anyone else distracted by how pretty the main character was? God damn.

>Stealing
>your own wife

>Black Philip

Black is not the preferred nomenclature. African American Phillip, please.

Did you miss the part where the kid had violent seizures and vomited blood and then died?

entirely false you're wrong

are you seriously going to imply to my face that in this movei the power of satan and magic can exist but not the power of prayer?

...

Holy shit yes

Ergot DOES grow on corn, and the director literally confirmed it was ergot on their corn.

This to be honest with you family.

>Made an account to upvote this guy.
But seriously, this. It was more about their beliefs getting shook and everything else this guy said.

just found out I went to primary school with that chick, kinda wish I wasnt such an autist when I was 13 now

She told in an interview that learned english when moved to UK, was she a little shy or something?

Power of prayer was shit.

Indians had the right idea, that's why they were immune to the witches and their bullshit.

>looking at your sister's breasts turns you into a deviant
lmao, but yeah, you're pretty much correct. this movie is full of subversive undertones against church, morality and the patriarchy. how this could go over someone's head is beyond me

This is an overly simplistic interpretation. The way they reacted with regards to their faith was about as rational as they could have been considering the time period. They were all fairly rational people considering their zealotry, and it wasn't that their faith was useless it was that they went against it at times and eventually lost it and it ruined them. Thomasin joined the cult because she lost her faith too, she let the evil in because she felt she had no place to go and it was the easier choice that felt better.

w2c witch gf?

hot topic

i thought it was a crow that was made to look like a flying witch.

>They were all fairly rational people considering their zealotry
Are you out of your mind? They're exiled from their Puritan commune because apparently the father was too extreme for even them.

And one of the first lines the main character says is "I've broken every commandment in thought." That is straight up bonkers, mang. I get that even modern Catholics consider thinking of sin as a sin, but actually hearing someone pray for forgiveness over thought crime was pretty nuts.

>it wasn't that their faith was useless
How did it help, exactly? If anything it served as the catalyst that took a family going through turbulent times and then suddenly-- what, my daughter is a pagan?! That's it! Everyone in the barn! Forever!

you're an idiot, but I guess most modern day hipsters have trouble with things like religion

You're simplifying things again. Despite being overly religious the father repeatedly stated rational philosophy about the family's relationship with God, the unknown, and evil. He understood the perspectives of all of his children and listened to what they had to say. Considering the time period, he was by all measurable accounts a smart and decent man. It was when they broke their faith that they strayed from the path and were put in the crosshairs of the evil in the woods. Putting his kids in the barn was the last in a long chain of bad decisions that started with him succumbing to pride.
