New England, 1630. Centering on one Puritan family living in rural isolation whose faith and devotion is disrupted by a primal horror lurking in the woods. Told through the eyes of the adolescent daughter and supported by mesmerizing camera work and a powerful musical score, THE WITCH is a chilling and groundbreaking new take on the genre and the winner of the Directing Prize at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Director Eggers: “The dark side of humanity is right up there with the light side — it needs to be examined so we can better understand who we are. The horror stories that cut the deepest are ones that confront us with the darkness we contain as a society, and also individually.”
