In this exquisitely-made and terrifying horror film, the age-old concepts of witchcraft, black magic and possession are innovatively brought together to tell the intimate and riveting story of one family's frightful unraveling.
In 1630 New England, panic and despair envelops a farmer, his wife and their children when youngest son Samuel suddenly vanishes. The family blames Thomasin, the oldest daughter who was watching the boy at the time of his disappearance. With suspicion and paranoia mounting, twin siblings Mercy and Jonas suspect Thomasin of witchcraft, testing the clan's faith, loyalty and love to one another.
The Witch premiered to great acclaim at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Best Director Prize. It was the debut feature of the now widely acclaimed writer/director Robert Eggers, who was hailed as an incredible new talent of the horror genre, a position which he further cemented with his second feature, The Lighthouse. The film features a star-making turn by newcomer Anya Taylor-Joy, now hailed for her starring role in Netflix’s hit series The Queen’s Gambit. With its mesmerizing camera work and powerful musical score, The Witch is a chilling and groundbreaking take on the horror genre.
