Black magic, possession and eerie children: Robert Eggers’ debut film The Witch has been terrifying audiences since winning last year’s Directing Award at Sundance Film Festival.
Hailed as a film that reinvents horror, it tells the tale of a Puritan family, who, after being exiled from a God-fearing New England plantation, move to the edge of a large forest to begin a new life. After they don’t get the ‘stay away from large forests’ memo, peculiar and disturbing things start to happen, including the disappearance of one of the family’s five children. The clan descends into suspicion and paranoia, and the eldest daughter Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy) is accused of witchcraft. What ensues is as chilling and shocking as it is ground-breaking.
