The Witch

2015 · Horror · Robert Eggers · 1h 33m

A family thrown out of their New England settlement in the 1630s try to farm a patch of land at the edge of a wood, and things go wrong from the first week. Slow, spoken in old English, and grim throughout.

    Two students are left behind at a Catholic boarding school over the winter break, while a young woman hitches a ride through the snow toward them. Very slow, very quiet, and told out of order.

    2001 · Horror

    A mother waits in a dark house on Jersey for her husband to come back from the war, keeping her two children out of daylight because it makes them ill. Old-fashioned, quiet, built on creaking doors.
