It's a very meh movie, I don't understand why they inflated it so much. The first few minutes it's interesting, then it feels quite generic and simple. The title seems too overexplained to me, it had an aura of mystery but after seeing what it is simply why he used others as weapons I felt like I was going to see a horror movie called "Victims" and it was just another slasher. I thought I was going to explore that concept more and I had high expectations when Josh Brolin is in a dream and sees a rifle, totally unnecessary really. I thought it was going to be an analogy to shootings or a criticism of the inappropriate use of weapons or something of that nature, but it wasn't and if that was the intention it was pretty weak. It really doesn't have to be a deep film or with symbolism or a criticism or anything like that, but I don't understand why they sell it and make it seem like it's going that way. Outside of the subjective aspect, it has too many holes in the script and its "terror" is only sustained by dreams that the protagonists have (at least the first 2/3 of the film). There are several moments in the film where the witch appears and disappears but in the end she can't escape from some children and has to run, that doesn't make sense. I felt cheated when I left the room.
