For Horror Game Fans: 10 Best Horror Movies Releasing in 2016: Page 2 of 10
2. The Witch
One family stands alone on the frontier against a witch’s curse.
Director Robert Eggers is making his directorial debut with The Witch. This movie follows the story of a Puritan family living on their isolated farm in New England. When the family’s youngest son disappears, the father (Ralph Ineson) and his wife (Kate Dickie) blame their oldest daughter (Anya Taylor-Joy).
The parents accuse the young girl of practicing witchcraft in order to spite the family. Soon after, things take a turn for the worst. Whether the threat is real or imagined is not made clear in the trailer. It will be interesting to see if the strange occurrences are truly something demonic, or a result of superstitious hysteria. My money is on the hysteria.
The Witch officially debuted at the 2015 Sundance Festival, and will get a full theatrical release February 19, 2016.
