The Noonday Witch
Directed by Jiri Sadek, Matej Chlupacek, Michal Samir
After her husband commits suicide, guilt-ridden Eliska hides what happened from her daughter Anetka and moves them out to a small village in the Czech countryside. When Anetka discovers the truth, it attracts a mythical witch who soon threatens to tear mother from daughter forever. A stunningly shot and severely scary example of the too-rare “Daylight horror” subgenre, NOONDAY WITCH is a must for fans of THE BABADOOK, UNDER THE SHADOW and STILL/BORN.
A mythical witch comes for a widowed mother and her young daughter.
Cast: Anna Geislerova, Karolina Lipowska

Like The Babadook but not good Great visuals though!
I really like this one. It’s not for everyone if buckets of blood is your thing you will be disappointed. Love that it take place in the bright sunlight. Would be interested to see more Czech horror movies.
The description for this film ruins it — The Noonday Witch is not a supernatural film, nor does it feature suicide. Whilst this film would make a mid-tier psychological movie about parental guilty,
Awf
The description for this film ruins it — The Noonday Witch is in no way supernatural, nor does it feature suicide. Whilst this would make a mid-tier psychological movie about parental guilt, grief, and loss, it instead attempts to mislead the viewer with less than five jumpscare events and over a dozen non-concluded plot points. Multiple scenes and characters are left unfinished, and lines of dialogue are reused twice, leading me to suspect this film is simply poorly written. Brightly lit and lacking any real suspense, The Noonday Witch was a drag that left me pulling my hair out and sobbing in a cornfield.
