The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015)
Dreadful
This movie is truly dreadful. Looked at the reviews and decided to give it a watch. What a poor decision that was... The movie started off good, but quickly became boring at the story failed to develop. After 30 minutes in, nothing was happening... Roughly 40 minutes in you catch a glimpse of the first 'witch'. Just to reemphasise myself.. It's called 'witch' and it takes 40 minutes to see one 'witch'... What is that about!?
After the whole movie, only 3 scenes show a witch. I really want that hour and 40 minutes of my life back :/
Would not recommend at all. Very disappointing... The actors were okay, but were difficult to hear throughout the movie.
The ending was a complete let down as well, I was watching the whole thing and yet the ending still made no sense. The storyline really failed to develop throughout the whole movie.
The genre I wouldn't class as being a horror either. Didn't find it one bit scary, just strange and somewhat disturbing.
Overall the camera work was good, acting okay, audio was terrible, storyline was diabolical, so much so that the writers should be embarrassed. Setting, scene and location was good, a classical looking 17th century village. Visual effects was very minimal, effects only were applied at the end scene of which still failed to excite me. To conclude, the movie had the basis to be a very good film, 17th century horror films aren't really common by any means but don't be fooled by the time setting!

The Missing: The Mountain (2016)
Absolutely amazing
I am a huge fan of Drama series, often there's occasions where a series won't capture my interest. This episode however captured my interest throughout, especially the last episode. Season 1's ending wasn't the best and i felt there could've been room for improvement, however Season 2's ending was simply a work of art. Lots of twists & turns. I have to give huge credit to the script writers, they have a huge talent to be able to build a whole series entirely based on future evens and somehow linking them all back together is simply amazing. I really can't give this show enough praise, It's been a very long time that i've been wowed by a series.
If you haven't watched this series then I would suggest you do. Highly recommended!
