The Witch

Steeped in period details and puritan theology, Robert Eggers’s first feature takes us back to a time when the human imagination allowed such fanciful notions as the devil taking the time to appear to humans in the form of a goat and witches using the blood of un-baptized babies for anti-gravity spells. Yet it's all grounded in the timeless truth that the worst horrors always originate in human frailty.
