The Witch

Director: Robert Eggers

2015 / 92min / DCP

“Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?” Eggers’s debut, the talk of the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and a sleeper hit in wide release, announced its director as a force to be reckoned with in genre filmmaking with a distinctive, deviant vision. Showing a careful eye for period detail and a sharp ear for antique vernacular, Eggers spins the insinuatingly eerie tale of a settler family turned away from their Puritan community in 1630s New England, and the dark forces lurking in the woods surrounding their farm that begin to infiltrate their home.
