The Witch
(A24)Roger Eggers’ The Witch is a puritanical take on horror, a film about the cost of repressing one’s inner desire for freedom and pleasure. Exiled from their 17th-century community over a religious dispute, settler William and his family are forced to strike out on their own in the brutal New England wilderness. With their spirits low, winter looming, and cabin fever setting in, the family becomes increasingly fearful of devilish meddling. After their youngest child goes missing, the family begins to suspect their eldest daughter to be a consort of Satan—the biggest no-no in the Puritan world. The Witch is a perfect example of how religious intolerance can create self-fulfilling prophecies: the more young Thomasin is demonized by her family, the more ready she is to greet real demons with open arms. When the demons are tempting you with the promise to “live deliciously,” it’s hard to say no.
