As someone who isn't easily frightened, it takes a really great film (or chilling supernatural event) to give me a good scare. But whenever I do come across these cinematic wonders, I feel very satisfied by what I saw. I loved The Babadook when I saw it, and it's one of my favorite horror flicks, but I think I may have found my new favorite!
The trailer for 2016's The Witch has fans of horror films talking. It's already won the Directing Award: Dramatic at the Sundance Film Festival. And from this two-minute clip, it's clear why director Robert Eggers deserves the accolade. Every aspect of the film, from the cinematography to the acting, seems to be phenomenal.
But how about the thrills? Watch when a man and his family are cast out of their 1630's New England colonial settlement. They find a new home by the edge of the woods, but little do they know what kind of evil awaits them there… They begin to feel the effects of this evil, as the animals start behaving strangely and the crops begin the fail. Even the tiny baby boy disappears from right under the nose of his caring sister.
The new year may have just started, but I can't wait until I see this in theaters. Look out for it in February!
