THE WITCH

The Witch is an extraordinary work of horror, phenomenally capturing a time and place long gone, but which remains with us still in memory.  It even manages to be at least a little bit scary in the process—which is more than you can say for something like 99% of all horror films made, and nearly 100% of all horror films with The Witch's kind of critical reception.

2016

With Anya Taylor-Joy (Thomasin), Ralph Ineson (William), Kate Dickie (Katherine), Harvey Scrimshaw (Caleb), Ellie Granger (Mercy), and Lucas Dawson (Jonas)
