I didn't like this film at all.
Young director of course, who knows where his career might have ended up, but it reeks of all that was wrong with British film in the 60s and 70s.
Script dire. Acting patchy in places. The military scenes, love scenes and horse riding scenes are cringe-inducing.
Violence seems gratuitous in parts.
Very two-dimensional characters - either unambiguous goodies or baddies. Childish in every aspect except the violence.
See the movie version of the Crucible if you seek a thoughtful and well acted movie on the 17th century witch hunting fad.
