The Witch (2015). Director: Robert Eggers
A Puritan Family expels itself from their community because the paterfamilias believes that the townsfolk have not embraced a strict enough interpretation of god's word. The family relocates several days wagon ride outside of town, and that is when their baby son disappears.
As guilt and fear mount over the child's disappearance, the family descends into a haze of religious self-doubt and of course, self-loathing.
This film specializes in a breathtakingly scary views of the natural surroundings, as well as gritty camera work that makes you feel a part of the movie. The appropriate use of the puritan dialect make the film feel more like history than fiction.
Like 'The Creep', this film develops slowly, and it pays to allow yourself to become completely immersed in the film. Although several scenes are entirely horrifying, the general mounting weirdness is what really starts to disturb...
