We continue our series going through the entire catalog of A24’s films. On this episode we are looking at 2015’s The Witch directed by Robert Eggers. The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy, as the eldest child of a New England family who moves out of their plantation home to live near woods where witches may habitate. Joining the show is Ethan Simmie, the host of The Movie Draft Podcast and 24 Minutes of A24.
Our double bill pairings include Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched (Dakota’s pick) and The First Omen (Ethan’s pick). See our complete A24 Double Bill Pairings on Letterboxd.
