The Witch Tree

About This Movie

The Witch Tree (2017) dives into a rather eerie atmosphere, with a tone that feels heavy and foreboding right from the start. Set against the backdrop of the 1970s, it captures the essence of teenage curiosity mixed with dread as a group of girls confronts a local legend. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build, and you really get a sense of the characters' escalating fear. Practical effects are used well, enhancing the supernatural elements without going overboard. Performances are solid, especially considering the director remains unknown, which adds a certain mystique to its overall appeal. There’s something about its exploration of folklore and the innocence of youth colliding with dark forces that sticks with you, making it somewhat distinctive in the indie horror scene.
