I am surprised The VVitch has made it this far. I know it's well received critically, but its audience score and imdb score are very unimpressive, so I figured it would translate that way here.

Im also interested in everyones write ups because I am surprised that people are surprised that it beat out Lighthouse. I guess I am a little surprised that both made top ten because I thought wed be very split on both of these and expected them right around 15 or so.

I'm also stunned that The VVitch has survived this long. Totally expected it to be more polarizing with a spread of Top 5 and Bottom 5 rankings. It feels like I'm the only one who hates it (and Eggers' style in general. This guy just isn't for me).

In the specific case of The VVitch, when it released it got hit with low audience scores because people felt the marketing was misleading. After that initial wave though, word of mouth was very, very strong and it stuck around in the box office charts for ages as a result.

Very true. Back in mid-2016 all my horror-loving friends couldn't stop raving about it. I literally couldn't escape the word of mouth. Even when I met Thomas Olde Heuvelt (the guy who wrote HEX) at a writers conference, the first words out of his mouth after signing a book for me were, "Have you seen The VVitch yet?"
