Vicious Are the Ways of a Witch

About This Movie

Vicious Are the Ways of a Witch presents a raw and gritty experience. The film dives into the atmosphere of isolation with its cabin setting, heightening the impending dread. Lisa’s relationship with her boyfriend sets the stage for a darker undercurrent, as the plot unfolds around jealousy and supernatural retribution. The pacing is deliberate, building tension effectively before unleashing some rather brutal moments of violence, which are quite visceral thanks to practical effects that feel almost old-school. Performances are decent; they carry the weight of the story without overshadowing the atmospheric tension. What stands out is its commitment to horror tropes while weaving in a classic witch narrative, making it a compelling, albeit grim watch for genre collectors.
