A family on the edge of the wilderness begins to turn its fears on one another. The Witch was released in 2016.
Its dread comes from silence, belief and the feeling that the trees are listening.
What makes The Witch a strong choice tonight is not simply the premise, but the way it gives that premise room to gather force. It rewards an uninterrupted watch, when its tone and rhythm can do their work.
Choose it when you want a film with a clear point of view rather than something to half-watch. Save it now, then come back to PLOT with the scene, performance or feeling that stays with you.
