Leah Pickett Chicago Reader The climax suffers from unimpressive visual effects, but not enough to sink the measured, atmospheric buildup of the first two thirds or the exquisite performance from Geislerova. Jul 20, 2017 Full Review Andrew Wyatt The Lens A domestic sort-of-ghost story, so determinedly slow-burning that it almost forgets that it's supposed to be frightening. Rated: C+ Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Joule Zelman The Stranger (Seattle, WA) If the movie's symbolism is heavy, it also makes for some gorgeous shots of sinister women creeping through the shining wheat. Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film The film's lyrical construction and intense central performance from Geislerov, well matched by newcomer Lipowsk, do justice to the enduring power of the story,. Rated: 4/5 Nov 11, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Diana S More about grief that drives one insane than a scary movie. I found the arc of the relationship between daughter and mother evocative by the end, but overall, the movie still felt a little thin. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Xav N Brilliant Horror. Creepy creepy creepy. On the same level as Hagazussa and Yella - both foreign films. All must watches Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Hugo - Shudder M Mother and daughter move to a quiet village to start a new life but soon their peace is disturbed by feelings of loss and grief. The haunting serves as a metaphor for mental illness, a formula we have all seen before in other psychological thrillers. A clear homage to the superior "The Babadook". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/22 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful to look and a great child actress performance aside, the Noonday Witch seems to strive for mythic but never quite gets there, and it's rarely as scary as it needs to be. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
