The Witch (2015 film)

"The Witch" (2015) is a psychological horror film set in 1630s New England. It follows a family torn apart by paranoia, religious extremism, and supernatural fears after they are banished from their plantation. As strange and sinister events unfold—such as disappearances and eerie encounters—the family’s faith and trust are challenged. The film explores themes of hysteria, innocence, and evil, using a slow, atmospheric build-up to create tension and unease. It relies on historical detail and folklore to immerse viewers in a chilling, credibly unsettling story about how fear can distort perception and morality.
