10 Most Dark And Twisted Movie Scenes Of 2016
6. The Witch – Cooking With Kids (Literally)
Robert Eggers’ directorial
debut may have been lavished with praise by the critics, but some horror fans
declared it un-scary. There is some
truth to that: The Witch is by no means a constant torrent of gore and torture
porn. But it does have some undeniably nightmarish moments and Eggers certainly
doesn’t make viewers wait too long for the ball to get rolling.
In the movie’s opening quarter we see the titular hag abduct a baby, whisk him away to her lair and grind him to a bloody pulp for a flying potion. Oh, and she’s naked too and proceeds to rub the baby ragu into her flesh. Of course naysayers, there’s absolutely nothing horrifying about that right?
Admittedly, it isn’t massively gory but there’s no doubt as to the horror that’s going on and the terror doesn’t end there either. Upon closer inspection, the old crone goes on to rub the resulting potion on her broomstick and masturbates with it.
According to witchcraft experts (i.e. internet Wiccans), administering a potion via the old lady parts was the most effective way of getting a concoction into your system. Although, we wouldn’t recommend trying this method at home.
