The Witch [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Many if not most of us who grew up in the United States were inundated with probably unrealistic views of the pioneers who initially settled Anya Taylor-Joy: Highlights include how a chance encounter resulted in her getting work as a model, and how this led to her getting The Witch as a first script. There’s some good content about the relationship between herself and her character, and how her acting techniques vary from her co-stars. (13 minutes) Witch seems to be less concerned with any "hidden meanings" than in an almost cold and calculating portrayal of some Early Americans Widely praised since its debut, The Witch is a slow burn film that’ll likely be a case of love-it-or-hate-it. The film is set in New England in the 17 th century and focuses on a man named William (Ralph Ineson) and his family on their plantation. A case of Prideful conceit causes the exile of William and his family. They relocate to a farm by a large forest that they built themselves. William is married and has four kids. After his wife delivers her fifth child, he mysteriously vanishes one day. It is believed that a witch has in fact abducted the child for strange purposes. After this happens, we see the family, particularly Katherine (William’s wife) struggle with the vanishing. They also have twins and we see their daily routine on the farm. One such moment involves them playing with a goat that they claim can speak. There’s also talk of witchcraft, among other things.

As I mentioned in our original The Witch Blu-ray review, this Arri Alexa captured piece offers new life in a land that held promise but also immense difficulties. As writer-director Robert Eggers mentions in the commentary included onBased on Eggers’ darker interests while growing up near Salem, The Witch is a masterpiece of a film that can easily be interpreted as a family drama, a tale of religious puritanism and resisting sin and temptation, and, well, a horror film about witches. Much of the tension around the film comes from the isolation the family is placed in and the struggles they have to make sure they have enough food while still keeping to their own values.

The Witch is a masterful slice of folk horror and Second Sight has done it justice. I would have liked something deeper from the production side, but the extras provided are very good, and the film itself looks amazing. Essential for anyone’s collection.

Somewhat ironically in this context, it’s the kind of film that any form of criticism, be it good or bad, does no justice to whatsoever – I remember on release hearing this was the most terrifying film since The Blair Witch Project and coming away somewhat disappointed – it should just be there, waiting for you to discover or re-discover it… waiting patiently in the woods for you to stumble over it, intrigued by its premise and open to letting it wrap itself around your guts as you find yourself transported into this strange, preternatural and deeply arresting world…BFI London Film Festival Q&A with Robert Eggers, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson and Producer Jay Van Hoy
