About The Witch (2015 film) in brief
The Witch is a 2015 American period supernatural horror film written and directed by Robert Eggers in his feature directorial debut. The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie, Harvey Scrimshaw, Ellie Grainger and Lucas Dawson. The Witch follows a Puritan family who encounter forces of evil in the woods beyond their New England farm. It premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival on January 27, 2015, and was widely released by A24 on February 19, 2016. It received critical acclaim and was a box office success, grossing USD 40 million against a budget of USD 4 million. It is set in 1630s New England, when English settler William and his family—wife Katherine, daughter Thomasin, son Caleb, and fraternal twins Mercy and Jonas—are banished from aPuritan Plymouth Colony over a religious dispute. The family builds a farm near a large, secluded forest and Katherine bears her fifth child, Samuel. One day, when Thomasin is playing peekaboo with Samuel, the baby abruptly disappears. It is soon revealed that a witch has stolen the unbaptized Samuel, killing him and using his remains to make a flying ointment. The next day, the twins converse and sing songs with Black Phillip, the family’s billy goat, and accuse Thomasin of witchcraft; Thomasin’s attempts to milk the nanny goat produce only blood. Thomasin awakens and finds the stable destroyed, the goats eviscerated, and Thomasin lying unconscious with blood-stained hands.
As she awakens, Black Phillip gores and kills Thomasin before her eyes, now blaming her for the tragedies and accusing her of trying to seduce and misfortunes. He materializes into a handsome, black-clad man and orders Thomasin to remove her clothes and sign her name in her name. He then kills her, who kills her mother with a bill-defense in self-defense, and enters the stable, where she hears chiming and hears Black Phillip to speak to her. The goat responds by asking if Thomasin would like to live with him and materializing into a tall, black, deliciously deliciously and deliciously-dressed man. He asks if she will look at a book. She chooses to breast feed the baby, but it is actually a raven that pecks at her breast, leaving her in the morning with an unconscious and bloody hand. He offers Samuel to Katherine and asks her to breastfeed him, but she chooses not to. The children overhear their parents discuss sending Thomasin away to serve another family. William reluctantly admits that he sold Katherine’s cup and takes her home. Later that night, Thomasin discovers Caleb outside the home in the rain, naked, delirious, and mysteriously ill. He finds a hovel where a beautiful young woman seduces him and grabs Caleb. Caleb becomes lost in the Woods and stumbles upon Fowler’s disemboweled body.
