Sight & Sound

Mitton's film never goes where you expect, while deploying its horror tropes to show the cracks and fissures in contemporary America's nuclear family structure. Its ending, so poignantly bittersweet, is very hard-earned...

Cinema Crazed

It's not particularly divisive, it's just not entertaining for all. It's definitely worth a watch for how it approaches things and what it does with its central subject.

Rated: 2/5

The Witch In The Window is a harrowing, scorchingly poignant and devastating glimpse into societal fears that have redefined family dinner conversations.

Nightmare on Film Street

The Witch in the Window has some creative spooks, an interesting villain, and a few good soundbites, but like Simon's house - it still feels like a work in progress.

Rated: 4/10

An solid supernatural ghost story but there could have been more elements that would have made the film better

While the acting can be a bit wobbly, The Witch in the Window is able to produce some extremely effective creepy scenes. Its scariness won't blow your hair back, but its cleverly crafted visuals and camera work really shine in some of the sequences. It also has some genuinely twisty scenes that are amazingly spooky. This is a very solid and haunting film that does well to not outstay its welcome while fully fulfilling its intentions.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

teddy o

atmosphere very reminiscent of haunting of hill house/bly manor, well established creepy environment. the best thing about this movie though is the stand out acting by Alex Draper and Charlie Tacker playing father and son - their relationship is so carefully and cleverly crafted that you can't help but adore them. for a haunted house movie the film isn't much for exposition - but the actors' immense talent communicates internal dialogue so beautifully. if you're after a super scary horror then keep looking but this is so worth a watch, especially if you enjoy horror that actually invests you in characters instead of throwing sacrificial meat bags at you.

I watched this film a few years ago and promised myself that I'd never watch it again because it scared the Hell out of me. I watched it again today...guess what?
