Anya Taylor-Joy in The Witch

The Big Picture The silver screen is no stranger to black magic or the witches that practice it. From light-hearted and comedic tales of witchcraft like The Wizard of Oz and Hocus Pocus to darker entries like Rosemary's Baby and Suspiria, witches make for a branch of the horror tree that persists through generations and genres.

The family swiftly disintegrates as the gravity of their situation begins to hit home. Their stable is destroyed, their livestock is murdered, William is killed by one of his goats, and Thomasin's remaining siblings are attacked by the witch. But through it all, Katherine continues to place the blame on her daughter's shoulders. Thomasin is her only remaining child — and the easiest to blame.

Thomasin is now certain that some strange and malevolent force is wreaking havoc on her world and commands her family's black goat to speak to her as it did to her siblings. To her surprise, it responds and asks if she would like to "live deliciously", tempting her with the spoils and luxuries that have been kept from her during her months of hard living on the farm — food and freedom and much, much more.

Who’s Really to Blame? The family's intense piety makes them the perfect victims for Black Phillip and the witches of the wood, and it all starts with William. It's William's pride and self-righteousness that got them banished from the settlement and forced to survive on their own, leaving them all to suffer as he fails to provide for his family. Time and again, Thomasin and Caleb are forced to pay for the sins of their father.
