Watch A Scary New Trailer For Robert Egger’s ‘The Witch’!

Briefly: This has to be one of my most anticipated horror flicks of 2016.

The Witch garnered major acclaim at last year’s Sundance film festival, and on February 19th us regular folk will finally get an opportunity to be absolutely terrified by it.

In the film, “the age-old concepts of witchcraft, black magic and possession are innovatively brought together to tell the intimate and riveting story of one family’s frightful unraveling in the New England wilderness circa 1630.”

Haven’t heard of it up to this point? Here’s the synopsis:

New England, 1630. Upon threat of banishment by the church, an English farmer leaves his colonial plantation, relocating his wife and five children to a remote plot of land on the edge of an ominous forest — within which lurks an unknown evil. Strange and unsettling things begin to happen almost immediately — animals turn malevolent, crops fail, and one child disappears as another becomes seemingly possessed by an evil spirit. With suspicion and paranoia mounting, family members accuse teenage daughter Thomasin of witchcraft, charges she adamantly denies. As circumstances grow more treacherous, each family member’s faith, loyalty and love become tested in shocking and unforgettable ways.

The Witch looks truly scary, and I can’t wait to not sleep on February 19th. Take a look at the film’s latest trailer below, and let us know what you think!
