@Apocryphiliac My husband who hates horror has seen 5 of those and loved them all. So I think yeah, it's a good way to ease into horror!
@Myana Wow, no kidding? Well, fair enough then! I kinda thought The Witch and Midsommar were pretty scary…
@Apocryphiliac In college I minored in the history of the witchcraft trials. I adored The Witch. It was a perfect example of what people believed.
And I think that's one way that horror movies can help people understand history. Modern people find it hard to understand witch accusers because we know they were wrong. Horror removes that surety; in a horror movie anything can happen. Films like The Witch and The Bell Witch let you actually get into our ancestors' heads, I think.
@Myana It’s excellent. And there are some good analogues for it in Italian and Czech cinema— Lucio Fulci’s The Conspiracy of Torture, aka. Beatrice Cenci, and Otakar Vávra’s Witchhammer. Someday I will work out a way to stream my blu rays and I’ll have them all in a triple-feature…
@Apocryphiliac I have not! A big hole in my classic horror list!
