Review of Coven

Coven (2020)
8/10
Not Your Typical Witchcraft Movie
12 March 2021
A new Spanish added to Netflix about the witch trials. A group of girls got accused of witchcraft. To delay the execution, they must lure the inquisitor into witnessing the Sabbath.

This movie is pretty much a satire about the ridiculousness of the hysteria in the past about witches. It demonstrated the saying-is-believing effect: the more you say or do what you think others want to see or hear, the more you believe in it.

As the plot progressed, I started to see how stupid and funny the old beliefs and signs that people used to identify witches. It's easy to trick and invoke curiosity from someone who blindly believe in something.

Overall, a ridiculous and crazy story that poked at the extreme and blind beliefs in witchcrafts. A good refresh from the popular movie genre. 8/10
