Some genuinely chilling moments (2 more)
Authentic historical setting
Excellent acting
The most chilling thing about this film is knowing that it is based on historical records - that many of the things that happened were things that people of the time genuinely believed to have happened. Whether or not the witches or satanism was genuine is kind of irrelevant, as the true horror came from the consequences of believing in this stuff. The story follows a family who are torn apart by their own internal struggles of morality. It's an interesting piece that I don't think will appeal to everyone, but horror fans with an interest in history, or the occult may enjoys this.

Great sound track
Good direction - some really well thought out shots and scenes
Great cast
Great film!
Maybe I'm getting old, or cynical, or both, but very little impresses me in the movie world any more. More often than not I leave the cinema feeling like I've seen it all before. Baby Driver was like a breath of fresh air - a great combination of story, cast, soundtrack, action and dialogue. Talent.

Arguements easy to follow.
Fascinating well written exploration of humanity's effect on the ecosphere.
A really interesting and well written piece detailing the effect we have on the life on planet earth. Worrying yet carrying a voice of hope - one of those books that you feel that the world would be a better place if everyone would read it.
