One Hollywood star admitted she thought about the folk horror for weeks after watching it
A 2015 horror film with a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score has been hailed 'visceral' by horror icons. The Witch, starring Split's Anya Taylor-Joy, is set in 1630 New England, where a family is panic stricken after their youngest son Samuel suddenly vanishes.
Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie, Harvey Scrimshaw, Ellie Grainger and Lucas Dawson star alongside Taylor-Joy. In his directorial debut, Robert Eggers shot only by natural light or candle light to give the film a more authentic look. Among them is iconic horror author Stephen King, who back in 2016 took to Twitter to give his verdict. He wrote: "The Witch scared the hell out of me. And it's a real movie, tense and thought-provoking as well as visceral."
Meanwhile filmmaker Jordan Peele, who is behind blockbusters including Get Out and Nope, said of the film: "I really enjoyed ‘The Witch’, which had such an elevated style to it, and it really brought the gravity of introducing us to a real-life actual witch, with a capital W. I thought it was really great."
