The Witch Review

The Witch is a supernatural horror film that is set in 17th century New England and revolves around a family of devout Puritans are banished from their community and forced to live at the edge of a haunted forest. Soon, they are terrorised by a series of unsettling occurrences, which they believe to be the work of a witch living in the woods. As the family starts to unravel from the inside, they begin to turn on each other, and the situation gets worse. Furthermore, the film has a cast, headlined by Anya Taylor-Joy, that does a tremendous job. The film works because of its slow-building tension and atmospheric cinematography, which add to the plot. On top of that, the director has done a decent job in showing the historical accuracy and attention to detail of colonial America. Overall, The Witch is a well-made and chilling horror movie that is sure to leave thriller fans on edge.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

According to cinematographer Jarin Blaschke, the film was shot mostly with available and natural light.

The spelling of the title "The VVitch" is how the word was written in the story's period because the letter "W" was not yet in common use at the time.

The film was shot in only 25 days.

A hare appears frequently in the film. In colonial New England, hares were considered magical creatures in their own right. They were often associated with witches, either as a milk-hare, which stole or spoiled milk from the farm animals, or the witch themselves, who were thought able to turn into a hare in order to spy on and influence people.

The premise is based on America's first witch hysteria, set 62 years before the infamous "Salem Witch Trials" in colonial Massachusetts.

Popular Dialogues

Thomasin: What canst thou give? Black Phillip: Wouldst thou like the taste of butter? A pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? Thomasin: Yes. Black Phillip: Wouldst thou like to see the world? Thomasin: What will you from me? Black Phillip: Dost thou see a book before thee?... Remove thy shift. Thomasin: I cannot write my name. Black Phillip: I will guide thy hand."
