Salem: Midnight Never Come Review

The boy is the key. The witchizens of the forest don’t care about Mary. They don’t care about the boy. They certainly don’t care what they look like. Mary is greeted by a spider witch who just keeps yelling get out. The scene inside the tree was beautifully shot and wonderfully rendered. The blue grey dark realm of the witches in waiting was a universe of bad dreams. The witches appear to speak backwards. This may be a nod to the backwards chanting of Christian prayers in gnostic and demonic masses. It was Aleister Crowley who discovered that it wasn’t enough to say the words in reverse order, celebrants needed to memorize the sounds phonetically. Watch the ritual scene in Eyes Wide Shut for an example.
