The Witch
In 1630, a farmer relocates his family to a remote plot of land on the edge of a forest where strange, unsettling things happen. With suspicion and paranoia mounting, each family member's faith, loyalty and love are tested in shocking ways.
Critics Sentiment
Caleb returns naked and dies vomiting whole apple after convulsions
Thomasin signs Satan's book and levitates with naked witches
The film drops nearly two points from Caleb's haunting death scene to the divisive supernatural ending that many felt abandoned the subtle approach.
The Witch builds exceptional dread through authentic period atmosphere and unforgettable disturbing imagery, with Caleb's death representing the film's peak horror achievement. However, the explicit supernatural ending divided audiences who preferred the film's earlier subtle psychological approach. Overall, critics praised it as a masterclass in atmospheric horror despite some disappointment with the conclusion.
