Sorry everyone for the poor quality, I wish I could have found a better version of this clip. It was before it was released on DVD so this was the best I could find at the time.
I love that your name is Rand al'Thor! I recently suggested the Black Phillip actor for the role of my favorite character, Mazrim Taim, on the upcoming WoT TV series. 😂 The actor replied enthusiastically to my tweet. XD
And a pretty dress, too? :-) My Air Force recruiter offered to let me see the world too. But instead I got two months in San Antonio, eight months in Biloxi and three years in Great Falls. I kind of wonder if Black Phillip would have cut me a better deal than the Air Force did. I still want to see Bermuda, Trinidad, Thailand, Ireland and the Trans Antarctic Mountains, damn it!
I still think that Black Phillip’s hoof taking one step into the frame and then the next being a spurred, leather boot is just about the coolest shot anyone could’ve dreamed up in my lifetime.
Fun fact: Director said that working with Black Philip was the hardest part of making this movie. Cause he was a massive 200lb poorly trained goat and it was hard to get him to do what they wanted. (plus actually being Satan probably didn't help either).
I do livestock rescue and I have a bunch of goats. An in-tact male is a monster to control. Totally makes sense why goats became aligned with evil. I've had 1800 pound bulls that were easier to handle.
Goats are clever and observant animals... A 200lb. human cannot hold their own, against a 200lb. animal.... Just ask the actor, "Charlie" almost hired, during the filming.... Also, Charley's owner said his goat did everything expected, of him.... He was creepy, giddy, bouncy, and yet still, when necessary... In addition, you don't train a 200lb. male goat; the trainer suggests, then bribes with treats.... The goat is the boss.....
I mean the goat already kinda looked like a demon, dark, big curled horns, hooves for feet and yellow eyes, especially in the scene where he stands up on his back legs
this scene was awesome because it shows how cunning the Devil is in this movie. You know he had this whole thing planned out from the beginning just by the way she so willingly gives her soul to him. He completely broke her only to rebuild her in his name.
@@Gitfiddle Don't insert your shitty third wave feminism into this masterpiece. It's about fear of the unknown and what grief mixed with isolation can do to a human being. The satanic imagery and supernatural elements are just props to make the film a bit more interesting.
@Iulia M It's bullshit because women ALREADY have all the freedom in the world in nearly every first world country. Please explain the aspects in which women have less independence than men in Western countries. The correct answer is zero.
Everybody questioning why she'd sell her soul for so little seems to be missing the point; she already believes she's going to hell anyway at the beginning of this scene, thanks to the pious bullying of her family, especially her mother, and the fate that's befallen her.
scarlet2583 she never had any faith, at the begining she is the only that looks back at the village, the only one nostalgic about the UK. Her brother, on the other hand, is ostensibly tortured, dies, and does not give in.
Also, what's her alternative? Going back to the village? The second they found out her entire family had been reduced to bloody corpses she'd be tried as a witch anyway. In for a penny, in for a pound.
bigbowlowrong also part of the point, Satan is portrayed as cunning in the film, whomever he could not currupt, he killed. He put a person already weak in faith to chose between bending and being a martyr, she never had a chance. One last thing, a key aspect of christian theology is salvation by grace, no one being saved by merit, believing that, even though undeserving, you will be saved is a core point of the definition of faith. The boy also had a stark knowledge of his wickedness, as shown from his father teaching him about original sin.
I thought the brother went to hell. His religious babbling near the end of his life, and the sort of orgasm he had, suggested mocking to me as he 'gave in' to lust. And wasn't she already doomed to hell because she killed her mom and her famiy were no longer part of the church.
aka idiots who haven't seen the movie yet gladly express clueless opinions about it or "have" seen the movie but frankly lacked the attention span and ability to watch a slow burn crafted and scripted period film with historically accurate dialogue
Around the time of the Protestant Reformation the Catholic Church had instituted three days a week and during all of lent, where people could not have any animal products. Including butter. In Italy this wasn't a big deal as they had olive oil. But in places like Germany they did not and relied on butter as a staple. The Italian states would sell them rancid, awful tasting oil, at exorbitant prices. The rich would pay indulgences to the Church so that they could still eat butter. The poor just had to deal with it or face the threat of hell. The Church was making a killing off the indulgences, and so built up eating butter as this terrible sin. Butterlover was an insult. So yeah, butter played a significant part in the Protestant Reformation. The line "Wouldst you like the taste of butter" likely comes from this dark history of butter.
this scene was pure black magic. i like how the first time you watch it you might not even notice the little details -- the boot blurred in the background, the black glove on her shoulder. i really love the voice they gave the devil too. not like some booming growl but this soft, seductive whisper in a young man's voice. you have to imagine it's exactly the voice thomasin, who's probably never even had a friend her own age, would want to hear.
It’s a really amazing scene. The ominous tones of the film come to a chilling conclusion that stays with you on the drive home if you watched in the theater.
“Would you like the taste of butter?”...she lives off of rotting vegetables in the middle of the woods “A pretty dress?”...she wants to embrace her feminism and not be judged “Wouldst thou like to see the world?”...she is oppressed by her Puritan life style Satan literally hit every single weakness imaginable
I remember watching this in theaters. You could hear a pin drop, and you could feel the chill run up everyone's spine when he finally spoke. Incredible movie
This is such a genius horror payoff. The whole movie you’re thinking, oh it’s allegorical, she’s going crazy. Oh brother, now she’s actually trying to get the goat to talk, she’s completely out of her... *Goat talks* AAAAAHHH!!!
@@jazzwarren6941 Might have been a crazy person, with there being a logical explanation for everything in the film. Another version of The Witch never shows its hand, right through the end credits, leaving us to ponder whether it was all allegorical (or perhaps self-fulfilling prophecy) or whether the notion of the doings of a witch and the influence of the devil was there all along. To be honest, that's precisely what I was expecting, right up until this scene - which is what makes it so effective!
I was about to write something similar. I loved how the film went nearly the entire runtime without clearly answering what was really going on, and even threw us one final misdirect by not having Black Phillip answer back immediately - only to then have that "AAAAAHHHH!!!" moment! This is build-up and payoff at its best! It's one of the most satisfying instances I've enjoyed in a film...another one that still gets me to this day is how Planet Of The Apes (the original) helps build frustration in the audience as the protagonist over and over is treated as an unintelligent savage...until we get to "get your stinking paws off me you dirty ape!" Seeing the imperiousness melt away from all the ape folks in that moment is so very satisfying!
@@jazzwarren6941 and not to mention, we see the witch in the woods who seduces her brother. that was a Surefire way of showing us there was indeed something more going on.
i don't understand why everyone is poking fun at the fact that black phillip asks if she likes the taste of butter. everyone is taking it at face value saying things like, "what? butter?" and "why butter? of all things!" i believe it is meant to resemble the deaire living lavishly and feasting such as a king would. because butter, especially back then, is used as the base of so many different foods, and can be especially fattening, it's utilized in this instance to stand for a full stomach at all times. i may be wrong, but i don't think that the demon would offer just butter, but rather what it comes in and the richness and substance of it. if you understand, that's great, and if you happen to disagree, feel free to talk with me but it.
Actually the Catholic Church would put a three days ban on any animal product. Butter was important for pretty much everything they cooked, so the Italians (I think it was the Italians but not 100% on that) would sell people some disgusting oil at really high prices. The rich would pay the church to be allowed to keep eating butter during those three days but the poor couldn’t. So they would just have to use the oil for three days. That being said, I think people are just trying to make a lighter mood or just make jokes. A lot of them made me laugh. I don’t think they’re actually downplaying the line or saying that it’s a dumb line or anything like that.
They were poor & starving, something as decadent as butter would be unheard of. I agree too with the restrictions placed by the Catholic Church but this family wasn’t Catholic, they went to America to flee that religion. However the puritan ways were equally stifling & every little desire being judged. Black Philip was just offering things that she obviously wanted or needed at that time: not just food but wonderful food, not just clothing but pretty clothes a young woman would want & most importantly I think, the promise of escape ( seeing the world).
Yeah well, people are pretty simple. Not also all the comments saying "Everyone says this was an empowering ending, but she sold her soul to the Devil and will be damned to hell!" Meaphor anyone? Although, hardly shocking that Bible thumpers don't get that not everything is supposed to be taken literally!
So much evil concealed in beauty. Satanic imagery is always painted as morbid (in its pure form it is) yet this film shows how cunning a deceiver is. The elegant voice is what makes this a thing of pure horror.
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet Literally the entire film is based on the perception of Christian doctrine you mong, lol. Puritans and their beliefs are portrayed very accurately, as are the beliefs of Witches and Satan.
It's so funny how people face the ending of the movie, as if Thomasin was "set free", when the only thing she did was going out of one kind of submission to another.
David Mora, that's not true. the kids will be fine. one will be forced to eat a lot of candies and will become diabetic, but they will kill the damn witch together- find the way out of da woods and become witch hunters. 🙌🙌
god damn. this is what nightmares are made of. some people are just to afraid to be truely scared. but people who understand will see this movie for what it is which is no less than a work of art that dives deep into ones darkest fear. especially if that one is a religious person. this movie does not hold back. its one of the most disturbing yet beautiful movies ive seen
Nich Miller you are absolutely right. Everything about this film screams masterpeice , honestly a chilling and disturbing delve into the religious psyche
+The Rex life Oh fuck off. Supernatural wouldn't know proper horror if it bit it on the ass. Stop trying to sound like a badass just because you watch a cut-rate genre TV show, it's embarrassing to the rest of the fandom for you to shit on a pinnacle of the genre like this. If you're a fan of horror and a fan of Supernatural, you should be lapping this shit up as a lovely expansion of the witchcraft Supernatural has only touched on, not using it as an opportunity to aggrandize yourself.
This movie is amazing. I remember sitting in the theater pretty much by myself. When he first uttered "What dost thou want?" it sent a chill up my spine.
When I first watched this part of the film, I couldn't decide which was creepier; The fact that she tried speaking to a goat, or the fact that the goat ACTUALLY ANSWERED BACK... Amazing film!
V P Sadly it gets poor ratings on a lot of platforms because people expect it to be on of those shitty horror movies with no substance. The Witch is for more then that
"Cady: It's 40 percent. Well 48 over 120 equals X over 100 and then you cross multiply and get the value of X. Regina George: *Confused look* Whatever, I'm getting cheese fries. "
One of the best scenes of any movie EVER... the tension is palpable... and whoever phrased that question in the script needs an award: Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
The voice, the what looks like a left hoof followed by a cloaked and black shoe walking by, the gloved hand. I've never simultaneously wanted to see more of Black Phillip and praise the hell out of the decision that they kept him in darkness but showed just enough. One of the best representations of evil and the devil.
Doing graduate school research on New England. Reading Cotton Mather, came across this line. Satan is temping a young man - “and how he should live deliciously, and have Ease, Comfort, and Money and sometimes threatening to tear him in pieces if he would not.” These writers did their research!
This was so good - I actually think if I'd watched it alone I wouldn't have finished it, ever.... Even with my boyfriend, in terrible quality, streaming this in broad daylight I was pretty creeped out. And I agree Black Phillip's voice is sexy as hell. I love how he transformed -- you see the hoof walking past the book, then a boot, then you hear the other foot is now a boot rather than a "clopping" hoof -- I didn't catch that the first time I saw this
*Black Phillip:* "What dost thou want?" *Thomasin:* "What canst thou give?" *Black Phillip:* "Wouldst thou like the taste of...butter?" *Thomasin:* "Hark and avast! _Butter,_ thou sayest? Dost thou jest? I knoweth that I doth starve, but if I wouldth surrender to thee the reins to my entire afterlife, then a goodlier bargain we must strike! Surely my everlasting soul be worth more than a mere pat of butter!" *Black Phillip:* "Dost thou refuse my offer?" *Thomasin:* "Aye and nay, for I _amendeth_ thy offer with my counteroffer! In the stead of thy butter, I desireth the taste of sixteen ounces of Eye of Round steak, cooked Medium Well every Sunday for so long as I shall live. I also desireth ten ounces of wine, a semi-sweet pinot noir with every steak; thou mayest choose the wine's nationality and vintage, though no less a vintage than five years. And I closeth the bargain with my desire for enow fresh vegetables and sour cream from which I canth chop and toss my daily garden salad." *Black Phillip:* "But I hadth yet to mention the pretty dress!" *Thomasin:* "See here, Black Phillip. I liveth amidst a remote forest in Nowhere County, New England. My family hast perished to the last, save for myself, and I perceiveth nary a reason to expect any visitors any time soonwith. I couldth stroll about these fields and copses as naked as a bear and none wouldst care, to say aught of recoiling in consternation! Spare me thy elegant garb in favor of steak, wine and salad." *Black Phillip:* "Thou tryest my patience, girl!" *Thomasin:* "Dost thou covet me for the newcome witch to thy coven or nay?" *Black Phillip:* "Fie! So much haggling and bickering. We shall be tardy for the Sabbat!"" *Thomasin:* "..." *Black Phillip:* _"Twelve_ ounces of Medium Well _T-Bone_ steak! And eight ounces of a semi-sweet cabernet savignon!" *Thomasin:* _"Fourteen_ ounces of Medium Well T-Bone steak and _ten_ ounces of cabernet savignon, or I shall walk." *Black Phillip:* "Every Sunday?"" *Thomasin:* "Every Sunday." *Black Phillip:* "Deal!" *Thomasin:* "Excellent, Black Phillip. I thanketh thee." *Black Phillip:* "Now get naked and sign my book, thou contentious bitch!" I'd make a _terrible_ Devil worshipper.
Fun fact, when filming this scene the goat who played Black Philip actually spoke the lines. The director was so impressed he decided to keep it in the film
This scene gives me chills! The moment she meets the devil...terrible & true isn't it? Of all the things to ask for... the taste of butter, a pretty dress... To see the world. Do you want to live deliciously? & just like that, is your soul forfeited.
I would have pissed myself if that happened to me. Fuck that shit I am out. I would looked at that goat and said " Woulds thou like a brick to the face ?"
Still, starving or not, I'd renegotiate for a filet of sauteed salmon every three days and a bottle of semi-sweet pinot noir or cabernet savignon every week. My soul's worth _at least_ that much!
She's probably never even heard of any of that. Butter and pretty dresses are probably the absolute highest items of luxury she's ever seen or heard from.
John 8:44 - "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." - Parting from this Biblical text, Satan, knew that in the 1630's the most expensive and most luxury someone could have, it was (for a girl in this case) a nice dress, and some butter, living in the woods and with this offer, she was completely drawn to make the pact. Notice how Satan never actually agreed in anything, as I read from another comment, he simply reaffirmed everything that she wanted.
I used to work in sales. I don't know if it's deliberate or not, but Black Philip uses some real high end sales techniques. 1) By never answering questions (notice he never answers any of her questions) and asking questions yourself instead you establish control of the flow of conversation and let the customer know that you're in charge and the conversation will be about whatever you want it to be about. 2) By asking yes/no questions you know you'll get a yes to you are priming the customer. When they've said yes several times (to what isn't important) they are much more likely to accept in the end. The brain works like that and good salesmen make use of that 3) Assume the sale. The best way to cross the finish line should be to assume the customer will buy and the final thing you do is sort out some practical detail like method of payment for example. Might be accidental but I doubt it.
I gotta say, I was thinking to myself during this scene that if somehow the goat spoke it would be just too much and I would cringe at the scene or something, but the voice acting was spot on, great direction by Robert Eggers, it ended up being my second favorite scene in the movie, awesome film
I remember when I watched this in IMAX, the sound of Philips (the devils) voice in that surround sound was something I’ll never forget, SOO scary and unnerving, but also.. smooth, in a sinister way? Like horrifying but.. I kinda like it? Which I guess is what the devil is all about. But anyway yeah I’d sign it I would love to live deliciously LOL
@@irhrbrbewjhehe3992 most peaople would like to live deliciously. @kommith is speaking about how good the director was in choosing the voice of Lucifer that even the audience is enticed to give in, just like our main character on screen.
“Wouldst thy like to live deliciously?” Really gets me. Also I really think this is a happy ending for Thomasin. Or at least, it’s as happy as it can be. Like, good for her.
incredible audio design on the devil's voice here. very simple but executed so well; it's easy for multiple vocal layers forming a chorus/delay to sound really hammy but by just using two or three (different) takes and panning them you get this incredibly eerie effect
I liked it. I really enjoyed the fact that it wasn't just a bunch of lame jump scares. Those types of movies can be ok sometimes, but as far as horror movies the industry has gotten lazy and relies on the jump-scare too much to the point that the movies no thought to them. It's just an hour and fifteen minutes of loud noises and a dark screen punctuated by something jumping out of the dark.
I saw it in the theatre. The atmospheric tension, coupled with the soundtrack, man…I felt creeped out for several days after. I randomly thought of the ending to this movie, I just had to come back and watch it.
Thomasin: Black Phillip, I conjure thee to speak to me. Speak as thou dost speak to Jonas and Mercy. Dost thou understand my English tongue? Answer me. [Beat. Thomasin turns to leave] Black Phillip: What... [Thomasin stops] dost thou want? Thomasin: What canst thou give? Black Phillip: Wouldst thou like the taste of butter? A pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? Thomasin: Yes. Black Phillip: Wouldst thou like to see the world? Thomasin: What will you from me? Black Phillip: Dost thou see a book before thee? [Thomasin looks at the book as Black Phillip circles her in human form] Remove thy shift. [Thomasin does so. Black Phillip places a hand on her shoulder] Thomasin: I cannot write my name. Black Phillip: I will guide thy hand.
So I guess I wasn't alone in being tickled by this voice I love it when movies can do voices like that. One of the only others I can think of is Candyman, Tony Tod's voice booming and sounding like he's in your head _made_ that movie.

Really great directing.....
Was that the physical form of Satan or is that just some illusion as to what he would've looked like?
@@Frombeyondthehorizon6860 Likely just the form Satan took to appear to Thomasin. The Devil is always said to take many forms after all.

And the promise of butter sealed the deal.
Is it really sad or is this a metaphor for a woman’s decision for true independence?
It's more a breaking of the puritanical family than that of Thomasin, I say.

@@jazzwarren6941 and not to mention, we see the witch in the woods who seduces her brother. that was a Surefire way of showing us there was indeed something more going on.
Every time I hear, "What does thou want". Man...chills galore!
Austin Putnam love your reviews
I have seen this movie countless times, several times in theaters, and that exact moment still gives me chills. One of my favorite movies of all time.
Dost* thou
It's def a trick question imo, because no way he is giving u what u want
@@darkfeffynot without a fee*
This goat gonna show me the world
And get you a pretty dress.
But what about the _butter?_ Is it low-fat, organic, salted or what?
She should have asked for covfefe. The fool.
BloodyBay Satan’s budget got slashed it’s just normal butter now lol had to make some cut backs
Kailash GD My luck he would give a Walmart dress and margarine instead of butter..🤣
i don't understand why everyone is poking fun at the fact that black phillip asks if she likes the taste of butter.
everyone is taking it at face value saying things like, "what? butter?" and "why butter? of all things!"
i believe it is meant to resemble the deaire living lavishly and feasting such as a king would. because butter, especially back then, is used as the base of so many different foods, and can be especially fattening, it's utilized in this instance to stand for a full stomach at all times.
i may be wrong, but i don't think that the demon would offer just butter, but rather what it comes in and the richness and substance of it.
if you understand, that's great, and if you happen to disagree, feel free to talk with me but it.
Yes, butter would have seemed like a luxury for a girl who had spent her whole life hungry.
Actually the Catholic Church would put a three days ban on any animal product. Butter was important for pretty much everything they cooked, so the Italians (I think it was the Italians but not 100% on that) would sell people some disgusting oil at really high prices. The rich would pay the church to be allowed to keep eating butter during those three days but the poor couldn’t. So they would just have to use the oil for three days.
That being said, I think people are just trying to make a lighter mood or just make jokes. A lot of them made me laugh. I don’t think they’re actually downplaying the line or saying that it’s a dumb line or anything like that.
Butter used to be a luxury ingredient.
They were poor & starving, something as decadent as butter would be unheard of. I agree too with the restrictions placed by the Catholic Church but this family wasn’t Catholic, they went to America to flee that religion. However the puritan ways were equally stifling & every little desire being judged. Black Philip was just offering things that she obviously wanted or needed at that time: not just food but wonderful food, not just clothing but pretty clothes a young woman would want & most importantly I think, the promise of escape ( seeing the world).
Yeah well, people are pretty simple.
Not also all the comments saying "Everyone says this was an empowering ending, but she sold her soul to the Devil and will be damned to hell!"
Meaphor anyone?
Although, hardly shocking that Bible thumpers don't get that not everything is supposed to be taken literally!
I love how the first step is a hoof and the next one is a red boot, really nice effect.
So much evil concealed in beauty. Satanic imagery is always painted as morbid (in its pure form it is) yet this film shows how cunning a deceiver is. The elegant voice is what makes this a thing of pure horror.
TheatreofSymphony your comment sir or ma’am, is golden!
Well, you're basing your perception on Christian doctrine....
“Pure form” fucking what?
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet what do you mean by that?
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet Literally the entire film is based on the perception of Christian doctrine you mong, lol. Puritans and their beliefs are portrayed very accurately, as are the beliefs of Witches and Satan.

It's so funny how people face the ending of the movie, as if Thomasin was "set free", when the only thing she did was going out of one kind of submission to another.
Vladimir Raineri she was liberated from her suffocating puritan faith
idk man, those witches seemed happy as fuck.
Hypergalactica Wow, fuck, never thought bout that. This film's vile!
David Mora, that's not true. the kids will be fine. one will be forced to eat a lot of candies and will become diabetic, but they will kill the damn witch together- find the way out of da woods and become witch hunters. 🙌🙌
'Liberated' to another life of murder and servitude, only to end up in hell? Gotcha.
1:54 that transformation is epic and sends chills down my spine every time
god damn. this is what nightmares are made of. some people are just to afraid to be truely scared. but people who understand will see this movie for what it is which is no less than a work of art that dives deep into ones darkest fear. especially if that one is a religious person. this movie does not hold back. its one of the most disturbing yet beautiful movies ive seen
Nich Miller you are absolutely right. Everything about this film screams masterpeice , honestly a chilling and disturbing delve into the religious psyche
Sorry once you watch supernatural everything that's meant to scare, you, can't take seriously anymore...
Too afraid to be truly scared....damn
+The Rex life Oh fuck off. Supernatural wouldn't know proper horror if it bit it on the ass. Stop trying to sound like a badass just because you watch a cut-rate genre TV show, it's embarrassing to the rest of the fandom for you to shit on a pinnacle of the genre like this.
If you're a fan of horror and a fan of Supernatural, you should be lapping this shit up as a lovely expansion of the witchcraft Supernatural has only touched on, not using it as an opportunity to aggrandize yourself.
lol seriously? you're comparing this to that garbage show? please.
This movie is amazing. I remember sitting in the theater pretty much by myself. When he first uttered "What dost thou want?" it sent a chill up my spine.
Yeah, up until that point, I did not believe there was any supernatural angle to the movie
When I first watched this part of the film, I couldn't decide which was creepier; The fact that she tried speaking to a goat, or the fact that the goat ACTUALLY ANSWERED BACK... Amazing film!
Listening to his voice with headphones on is a whole new experience.
When Black Philip speaks, it could have come across as goofy but Eggers made it come across as chilling. Great director
All in the processing

Am I doing it right?
I'd just shuck myself like a clam...'MY BODY IS READY'.
Almost choked on my sandwich....bravo. XD But yeah, that.
John Doe you are right
I haven't stopped laughing at your comment.
thumbs up, but it would have been even more right if the last line was all lowercase.
This movie was amazing.
V P Sadly it gets poor ratings on a lot of platforms because people expect it to be on of those shitty horror movies with no substance. The Witch is for more then that
An boring
Satan: Wouldst thou like the taste of butter?
Me: Is butter a carb?
It's high in fat
Boreu óÓÒò fats
"Cady: It's 40 percent. Well 48 over 120 equals X over 100 and then you cross multiply and get the value of X.

Yes
“What does thou want?”
“Holy shit I didn’t think this would work.”
“I don’t know. I didn’t think I’d get this far.” 😂
"Uh, yeah, butter does sound good, I guess. Can I get a few minutes to think about it?"
This is actually the creepiest scene in the movie.
This and the scene where Caleb coughs up the apple 😬
him: "What dost thou want?"
me: Bruh, just pay my student loans and I'll do your bidding
the goat responds "can I get about tree fity?"
And at about that time I realized that this devil was 7 stories tall and crustacean from the Mezozoic Era.
That goddamn Loch Ness monster had fooled me again.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nooooooooo this made my freaking day!!!! Not the $3.50 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Art thou more than 50 feet tall? Art thou a shrimp of frightful visage, of the Mezozoic Era?"
gawddamn it , monster . Leave me alone
One of the best scenes of any movie EVER... the tension is palpable... and whoever phrased that question in the script needs an award: Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
The voice, the what looks like a left hoof followed by a cloaked and black shoe walking by, the gloved hand.
I've never simultaneously wanted to see more of Black Phillip and praise the hell out of the decision that they kept him in darkness but showed just enough. One of the best representations of evil and the devil.
Doing graduate school research on New England. Reading Cotton Mather, came across this line. Satan is temping a young man - “and how he should live deliciously, and have Ease, Comfort, and Money and sometimes threatening to tear him in pieces if he would not.” These writers did their research!
This was so good - I actually think if I'd watched it alone I wouldn't have finished it, ever.... Even with my boyfriend, in terrible quality, streaming this in broad daylight I was pretty creeped out. And I agree Black Phillip's voice is sexy as hell. I love how he transformed -- you see the hoof walking past the book, then a boot, then you hear the other foot is now a boot rather than a "clopping" hoof -- I didn't catch that the first time I saw this
U see him also, look behind her, he has a hat on.
"Would thou like the taste of butter."
Pickup line works every time.
He invented them lmao
I just love the way they speak in this film, so eloquent and beautiful, like everyone in those days was Shakespeare or something.
Common lexicology of the time was heavily influenced by the kjv bible and the byzantine text style.
@@codymarkley8372 Yeah, I figured as such
Dat Old English!
*Early Modern English ;)
Shakespeare is the devil's literature.
*Black Phillip:* "What dost thou want?"
*Thomasin:* "What canst thou give?"
*Black Phillip:* "Wouldst thou like the taste of...butter?"
*Thomasin:* "Hark and avast! _Butter,_ thou sayest? Dost thou jest? I knoweth that I doth starve, but if I wouldth surrender to thee the reins to my entire afterlife, then a goodlier bargain we must strike! Surely my everlasting soul be worth more than a mere pat of butter!"
*Black Phillip:* "Dost thou refuse my offer?"
*Thomasin:* "Aye and nay, for I _amendeth_ thy offer with my counteroffer! In the stead of thy butter, I desireth the taste of sixteen ounces of Eye of Round steak, cooked Medium Well every Sunday for so long as I shall live. I also desireth ten ounces of wine, a semi-sweet pinot noir with every steak; thou mayest choose the wine's nationality and vintage, though no less a vintage than five years. And I closeth the bargain with my desire for enow fresh vegetables and sour cream from which I canth chop and toss my daily garden salad."
*Black Phillip:* "But I hadth yet to mention the pretty dress!"
*Thomasin:* "See here, Black Phillip. I liveth amidst a remote forest in Nowhere County, New England. My family hast perished to the last, save for myself, and I perceiveth nary a reason to expect any visitors any time soonwith. I couldth stroll about these fields and copses as naked as a bear and none wouldst care, to say aught of recoiling in consternation! Spare me thy elegant garb in favor of steak, wine and salad."
*Black Phillip:* "Thou tryest my patience, girl!"
*Thomasin:* "Dost thou covet me for the newcome witch to thy coven or nay?"
*Black Phillip:* "Fie! So much haggling and bickering. We shall be tardy for the Sabbat!""
*Thomasin:* "..."
*Black Phillip:* _"Twelve_ ounces of Medium Well _T-Bone_ steak! And eight ounces of a semi-sweet cabernet savignon!"
*Thomasin:* _"Fourteen_ ounces of Medium Well T-Bone steak and _ten_ ounces of cabernet savignon, or I shall walk."
*Black Phillip:* "Every Sunday?""
*Thomasin:* "Every Sunday."
*Black Phillip:* "Deal!"
*Thomasin:* "Excellent, Black Phillip. I thanketh thee."
*Black Phillip:* "Now get naked and sign my book, thou contentious bitch!"
I'd make a _terrible_ Devil worshipper.
BloodyBay hilarious
Brilliant
You spent too much time on this for too boring a result.
I can't breathe! XD
Add some chocolate and I am SOLD. Now THAT'S a bargain! (Though I might also take the dress, lol.)
All the events that unfolded in this film stem from her father's deadly sin, pride.
“Does thoust see a book before thee?” is the Puritan version of “Okay can everyone see me screen?”
You're on mute. Phillip....Press the...mute....the microphone icon....
Would have been so much better if the goat answered. "No hablos English."
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
😂😂😂
Diablo!!!
😅
When he spoke, I nearly fell off my seat. Unbelievable! Loved it!
Fun fact, when filming this scene the goat who played Black Philip actually spoke the lines. The director was so impressed he decided to keep it in the film
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can't help but think how funny it would be with Samuel L Jackson's voice. 'EY GIRL, TASTE MY BUTTER!'
Lmao
Or maybe Gilbert Gottfried.
"COME ON, KID! LIVE IN DA WOODS WITH US, IT'LL BE GREAT!"
Oh my..... your comment literally just made me lmfao
YOU THINK YOUR THE ONLY WITCH IN THE WORLD
best comment ever. burst out laughing
This scene gives me chills! The moment she meets the devil...terrible & true isn't it?
Of all the things to ask for... the taste of butter, a pretty dress... To see the world. Do you want to live deliciously? & just like that, is your soul forfeited.
"Live Deliciously" has become my mantra. Thank you, Satan.
That is a Separatist saying, not a Devil thing. He was mocking the Puritans and Separatists.
satan rulz
"Thanks, Satan!"
"Ehhh...it's 'sah-TEEN.'"
"Oh. Right." :-D
You're welcome
You're welcome
I would have pissed myself if that happened to me. Fuck that shit I am out. I would looked at that goat and said " Woulds thou like a brick to the face ?"
I would have asked for *BONELESS PIZZA*
+Letty Lunasical could've had faith in god instead of rebelling against him.Deliciously on earth until eternity takes you
I got chills when he spoke
Same lol
‘what does thou want’ when i heard that i got the biggest goose bumps. do masterfully done great movie
"Wouldst thou like the taste of butter?" I think I would have bargained a little higher for selling off my soul.
That is literally the point.
axnyslie consider she is living in a tight household, far in woods with not much to see and starving.
Still, starving or not, I'd renegotiate for a filet of sauteed salmon every three days and a bottle of semi-sweet pinot noir or cabernet savignon every week. My soul's worth _at least_ that much!
She's probably never even heard of any of that. Butter and pretty dresses are probably the absolute highest items of luxury she's ever seen or heard from.
John 8:44 - "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." - Parting from this Biblical text, Satan, knew that in the 1630's the most expensive and most luxury someone could have, it was (for a girl in this case) a nice dress, and some butter, living in the woods and with this offer, she was completely drawn to make the pact. Notice how Satan never actually agreed in anything, as I read from another comment, he simply reaffirmed everything that she wanted.
Everyone that didn't get to see this movie in the theater missed out. Everyones jaws dropped towards the last 15 minutes
yes nonsense really fuck i would have loved to seen that reaction
I used to work in sales. I don't know if it's deliberate or not, but Black Philip uses some real high end sales techniques. 1) By never answering questions (notice he never answers any of her questions) and asking questions yourself instead you establish control of the flow of conversation and let the customer know that you're in charge and the conversation will be about whatever you want it to be about. 2) By asking yes/no questions you know you'll get a yes to you are priming the customer. When they've said yes several times (to what isn't important) they are much more likely to accept in the end. The brain works like that and good salesmen make use of that 3) Assume the sale. The best way to cross the finish line should be to assume the customer will buy and the final thing you do is sort out some practical detail like method of payment for example.
Might be accidental but I doubt it.
A most excellent depiction on New England Witchcraft - The movie is delicious indeed
I gotta say, I was thinking to myself during this scene that if somehow the goat spoke it would be just too much and I would cringe at the scene or something, but the voice acting was spot on, great direction by Robert Eggers, it ended up being my second favorite scene in the movie, awesome film
Please do not use these lines as a form of seduction. I asked some girl if she wanted to taste my butter.......It did not go well.
Gotta start by asking if she wants to live deliciously 1st..then the dress ?..then the butter line..then that shift comes rt off brah.
I snorted laughed at this.
Your voice was not as seductive as Black Philip's, probably.
omg I'm becoming a witch bai
Can I come? I want to live deliciously....
+Zenaida “MissMusicalProductions” Reyes Live me deliciously !!

Its not an witch.
Daenerys Targaryen It's not "its".
The entire movie was super scary and disturbing and it was authentically acted to! The ending was downright terrifying!
"Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste..."
Okay the moment I saw Black Phillip's human form I just went
"PLEASE HEAR ME OUT!"
I remember when I watched this in IMAX, the sound of Philips (the devils) voice in that surround sound was something I’ll never forget, SOO scary and unnerving, but also.. smooth, in a sinister way? Like horrifying but.. I kinda like it? Which I guess is what the devil is all about. But anyway yeah I’d sign it I would love to live deliciously LOL
Tf
@@irhrbrbewjhehe3992 most peaople would like to live deliciously. @kommith is speaking about how good the director was in choosing the voice of Lucifer that even the audience is enticed to give in, just like our main character on screen.
“Wouldst thy like to live deliciously?” Really gets me. Also I really think this is a happy ending for Thomasin. Or at least, it’s as happy as it can be. Like, good for her.
>become damned to hell for all eternity
>omg it’s such a happy ending because she was “””””free””””
Woman moment
This movie was everything I love in a horror film.
Satan: wouldst thou like the taste of but-
Me: well I just wanna say I’m a huge fan
For some unknown reason, this seems so contemporary. Being in old Salem times. Guess temptation is ageless. Resistance is also timeless.
THEN SUDDENLY
A voice of Morgan Freeman talking from above, removing the roof with a bright white light come with it,
''BEGONE !!!''
incredible audio design on the devil's voice here. very simple but executed so well; it's easy for multiple vocal layers forming a chorus/delay to sound really hammy but by just using two or three (different) takes and panning them you get this incredibly eerie effect
Was his voice hot or was it 🥵
Live Deliciously?...HELL YEAH! XD
I adore the darkness and chills that it brings! Long live Black Phillip
brilliant movie! So funny how all those daft-jump scare-idiots don't get this. LOL!
I liked it. I really enjoyed the fact that it wasn't just a bunch of lame jump scares. Those types of movies can be ok sometimes, but as far as horror movies the industry has gotten lazy and relies on the jump-scare too much to the point that the movies no thought to them. It's just an hour and fifteen minutes of loud noises and a dark screen punctuated by something jumping out of the dark.
I agree. This movie was a breathe of fresh air in that regard. I’m a fan.
no need to put other genres down because you like this genre
Man I needed a holy water shower after this movie
Scariest part of the whole movie.
I kist love how the first step is a goat and the following a boot of a man
i have a crush on a goat ....
Nah its more like a crush on satan
As long as it's not a goat XD

I got my “live deliciously” tattoo because of my undying love for this film.
just realized when he stands up, his left leg is a goat leg
Holy shit this is absolutely incomprehensibly fucking terrifying.
I saw it in the theatre. The atmospheric tension, coupled with the soundtrack, man…I felt creeped out for several days after. I randomly thought of the ending to this movie, I just had to come back and watch it.
When I watched this for the first time, hearing black Phillip whisper for the first time legit sent chills down my spine
This movie is a absolute work of art
His voice gave me chills!
Black Phillip is my eternal love.
Dos't thou love?
My brain when I go to the fridge to eat a whole stick of butter at 3 AM
6 years later. Still my favorite freaking horror movie of all time.
And then Thomasin would go on to become the modern Paula Deen that we all know, having an unquenchable appetite for butter.
Thomasin: Black Phillip, I conjure thee to speak to me. Speak as thou dost speak to Jonas and Mercy. Dost thou understand my English tongue? Answer me.
[Beat. Thomasin turns to leave]
Black Phillip: What... [Thomasin stops] dost thou want?
Thomasin: What canst thou give?
Black Phillip: Wouldst thou like the taste of butter? A pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
Thomasin: Yes.
Black Phillip: Wouldst thou like to see the world?
Thomasin: What will you from me?
Black Phillip: Dost thou see a book before thee? [Thomasin looks at the book as Black Phillip circles her in human form] Remove thy shift.
[Thomasin does so. Black Phillip places a hand on her shoulder]
Thomasin: I cannot write my name.
Black Phillip: I will guide thy hand.
So I guess I wasn't alone in being tickled by this voice
I love it when movies can do voices like that. One of the only others I can think of is Candyman, Tony Tod's voice booming and sounding like he's in your head _made_ that movie.
What a great underrated Horror film! The Atmosphere is so wonderfully creepy!
