I'm big enough to admit it: I think this one might be too artsy and psychological for my attention span (and the "two dudes who are strangers working in isolation and oooh one has a secret past" is ... kind of cliche). But I liked The Witch, it looks weird, and it has Willem Dafoe in it so I'm definitely on board.
I like what this dude had to say about Eggars resurrecting "resurrect the dreams, nightmares, language and, um, sea shanties of the time." That was the sort of thing that I liked the most about The Witch.
