Robert Eggers’ directorial debut The Witch is my most anticipated film of the year. The festival circuit loved it, and it looks to be an incredibly scary and original horror film. The movie has been given a new trailer from A24, which further showcases its gorgeous cinematography.
Written by Eggers, The Witch follows a 17th-century religious family in New England that is “torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.” Starring is Anya Taylor-Joy (Vampire Academy), Ralph Ineson (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Kate Dickie (Prometheus) and Julian Richings (Man of Steel).
The Witch will be released on February 19 in the US, and on March 11 in the UK.
