[first lines]
William: [before the court] What went we out into this wilderness to find? Leaving our country, kindred, our fathers' houses? We have travailed a vast ocean. For what? For what?
Governor: We must ask thee to be silent!
William: Was it not for the pure and faithful dispensation of the Gospels, and the Kingdom of God?
Old Slater: No more! We are *your* judges, and not you ours!

The concise story, the careful use of the camera lens, the perfect atmosphere creation, the hints on religious and family issues, the actors' tense performances, as well as the elegant accent and the restoration of the real witch legend all give this film a very different feeling! To put it simply, this movie terrifies me!
