Apparently...
Neither. There is no supernatural element to this movie. No zombies. No monsters. Just a virus/disease that is highly contagious and gives people a rash that causes fatal illness.
That's all? That's pathetic. Then why is A24 promoting this like a horror movie? And why call it "It comes at night" when THERE'S NO "IT" OF ANY SORT?! My god this is "The Vitch" (I refuse to call it by it's real name because of that stupid font on the posters and ads that made the "W" look like 2 "V's) all over again where they hype a movie to hell only for the title to be a complete lie as even THAT movie had no witch until the last scene!
Also the Witch ate a damn baby in the movie early on so I don't know what he's talking about.
W was written as two Vs and pronounced like a W before the 1800s. Its based on the roman V which became the modern english w and U. In english speaking society it had largely fell out of use by the 1700s but it wasnt uncommon in the 1600s which is the time period The Witch is set in. That entire film strives for period accuracy hence them spelling the word Witch the way it would have been spelled in a 17th century puritan society.
Similar to how the roman latin letter I pulled double duty for the modern english letters Y and J.
If you are pronouncing the word VVitch as Vitch youre doing nothing but making it seem like you cant pronounce basic words.
1. No, I knew about that spelling. I was just mocking the movie for using that font for the logo. I know what it's supposed be pronounced as.And the witch was in the scene after it took the baby. We are shown the witch running through the woods. And we see the witch ensnare and kiss Caleb when he first stumbles across the Witch's hut.
MOVIELORD probably wasnt paying attention while watching the film, or didnt actually watch the film and is just parroting stuff he read in an inaccurate negative review.
What is a horror film in your eyes? Is it a film that fills you up with a sense of dread? Because if that is the case, this is a horror film. Saw this tonight and it was really really good. The VVitch was also great.It's weird, artsy crap like this that makes me PRAY they don't get the rights to James Bond since they're in that bidding war. Between The Witch and this being not a horror film despite being marketed like one, I'm afraid it'll lead to a scene with Bond having an encounter with an ostrich that asks if he'd care for some tea and then has a musical number with it!![]()
There is no IT and nothing comes at NIGHT....except nightmares...Misleading marketing for some. Seems to be quite a divisive film.

and 2. I forgot the bit with the witch being spotted taking off with the baby and seen with Caleb. It's been a while. Because otherwise, the movie might as well be this family driving themselves nuts. Unless the damn goat was the ringleader the whole time since that would explain it talking at the end about butter. Ugh. I'm not a prude guys; i just hate when movies get overly artsy like this. It gives me flashbacks about how much I hated "Drive". The Witch wasn't a bad movie like Drive was; i just didn't really care for it as much as everyone else did.
