I have been eagerly waiting for the movie since I first heard about it
last year when the first news and rumors from Sundance started pouring
in. I love the horror genre and movies about witches and there is really
not enough of the latter. We have one half decent show on TV (
Salem)
and time and time again someone does new spin on
The Crucible. But
that's it. There are generic money grabbing uninspired spins on the
witches, portrayals of modern witches which are incredibly insulting
(how Wiccans were portrayed in season 4 of
True Blood) or interesting concepts
trapped in a meddled mess (
AHS: Coven). So when I heard that there is
honest to God (well...) good story out there about witches set in the
most fascinating time you can possibly set a story like that in I
couldn't wait.
