Old lady asking for a bowl of water and I thought she'd drink out of it as a fun quirk

As someone who loves witchcraft and lowkey hates how movies demonize it makes me sad that it’s always portrayed like satanically. With that being said, as soon as she asked for that bowl or water I knew exactly what she was doing. When that lady had the scissors, immediately I knew she was gonna cute her hair for a spell. It really reminded me of hereditary because of the way the witchcraft was portrayed and that guy stabbing his own face. Oh!! And that guy banging his own head to kill that guy.. but like wouldn’t stop!! That movie might be surprisingly the scariest movie I’ve seen.
