When I recall the 1977 original, what stands out most in my memory are the vivid and beautiful colours depicted with the backdrop of one of the most eerie haunting soundtracks to grace a film.
In stark contrast, almost rebelling from the original, this movie has taken great pains to be almost entirely devoid of colours. However when they do use any colour, you guessed it, its red and oh my gosh, does it get everywhere.
This recycled movie might not stand the test of time as it is heavily based on the original and depicts in a not so subtle manner the witches and the coven's going ons, whereas the original was subtlety and left it up to the viewer to imagine the worst. It does however explore the folklore around the Three Mothers and creates an eerie atmosphere that leaves the viewer distinctly uncomfortable.
If this was to be considered a standalone film, it would be mediocre. Give me honest new witch movies like the VVitch (2015) over remakes of old movies any day
