I do not think this should be in the horror genre. I mean...I suppose you could make a movie about this entire time period and label it horror. Everyone is super religious to the point of stupidity...You are obviously a witch if x or y happens and all the troubles of the world are caused by dark magic and devil worship. Ya...sounds pretty horrible to live that way. This movie does include an actual witch but this family wouldn't have done so well either way.

How can people vote this 5 stars did they actually watch the movie ? The movie is dull, it is stupid and I wish I never seen it. It starts with a family being expelled and then the first bad sign had to put up with the stupid British accents. Then they start accusing people for being witches, black goats and such, it was really annoying. Finally the ending so they want to spend the whole movie pretending this is accurate.... and finish say witch craft is real? Give me a break. You want a horror film do horror, you want accuracy well then show how people were (still are in some cases) greedy and superstitious. This film was neither, just people hanging around the farm calling each other witches.

****SPOILER ALERT*SPOILER ALERT*****How in the hell did this movie get a 91% rating on rotten tomatoes? Look, I'll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of the horror genre, but the Mrs. is a connoisseur when it comes to scary movies and even she found the movie disjointed, clunky and anti climactic. We were tricked into watching the flick based on the rotten tomatoes rating. We made a mistake! Right from the start, the story makes no sense: why exactly did the family chose to leave the sanctuary of their home (they were sort of kicked out/sort of left on their own, but no concrete reason(s) were given), what evil thoughts was the oldest girl confessing to, what's up with the brown rabbit with creepy eyes, is the oldest brother attracted to his sister, who was the silver cup actually given to, how did the silver cup make it's way back to the home, why is the father such a coward and hiding so much from the mother, why did the chickens only lay one egg, why is one goat producing blood instead of milk, how come no one but me seemed to notice right away that the creepiest thing of all was the black ram (THAT IS ON THE COVER OF THE MOVIE) and is hence the real bad guy?
