“A family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.”
I have a special place in my heart for good horror films so The Witch caught my eye once the buzz began circulating from the 2015 Sundance film festival, where it was awarded the Directing Award in the U.S. Dramatic category. Robert Eggers is a new director but is known for his attention to detail and that seems to translate well to this 17th century New England based horror film. Good horror films are hard to come by and I am very excited to see if The Witch holds up. Check out the trailer below.
