TRR: Set in the late seventeenth century, The Witch tells the story of a devoutly religious family who fall out of favor with the leaders of their plantation and are banished to the outlying woods. There, patriarch William (Ralph Ineson) hopes to start anew. But when their youngest, baby Samuel, is snatched right from under the nose of their eldest daughter, Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy), his dream of a better life for him, his wife, Katherine (Kate Dickie), and their five children slowly begins to unravel. Stylish and creepy, the result is the kind of old-school, slow-burn frightener that viewers won't soon forget. But aside from its foreboding imagery and the tension-building score, what really sets the movie apart is its attention to detail. Based on real-life accounts and court records from the period, The Witch paints a chilling portrait of the time in American history leading up to the Salem Witch Trials. And there's nothing more scary than knowing that the terror on-screen is matched by equally horrifying real-life atrocities.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
