I watched The Witch last night, the 2015 horror film. I had heard it was a really impressive film, but I only thought it was fine. Only fine. 

It made this one move over and over, where a character could see something shocking that the viewer couldn't, and it would make the viewer wait forever to see what the character saw. After the third or fourth time it pulled this trick I was like: Get on with it all ready.

I suspect part of the acclaim for this movie at the time was political. Religious people crazy. Young girls oppressed. And so on. But nothing about it surprised me.
