To class this a horror film is misleading. It's tag-line is "A New England Folktale" and that sums it up perfectly. Yes there are elements of horror and yes there is a witch but this is more of a drama than a horror flick. It's an exceptionally well made movie and worth watching but if you're more of a jump scare/gore fan this may not be the movie for you. If you want a really good folktale that's creepy than it doesn't get better than this.
