YOU WON'T BE ALONE
/In an isolated village in 19th century Macedonia, a child is transformed into a witch
God damn.
I was not expecting this movie to be so beautiful. This is poetic narrative horror, through and through, like Terrence Malick directing Interview with the Vampire. With a creeping emphasis on body horror, it’s more disturbing than scary, but that’s okay. The world is scary enough. YWBA is a gruesome philosophical meditation on birth and death, and a staggeringly impressive feature film debut from Goran Stolevski.
I haven’t been this moved by anything within the horror genre since the 2008 vampire masterpiece Let the Right One In.
Quite possibly the best witch movie I’ve ever seen
