The best horror films are intimate and immersive, making you feel like you're inside someone else's nightmare. "The Witch" is what writer-director Robert Eggers calls "a nightmare from the past" and "a New England folktale." A New Hampshire native, Eggers conjured up the story from memories of the "crumbling colonial farmhouses, hidden graveyards in the woods and the world of witches" that surrounded his childhood home. Infused with a rich sense of personal and cultural history, the film transports you to a painfully real point in the past dripping with dread.
