Upon threat of banishment by the church, an English farmer leaves his colonial plantation and relocates his family to a remote plot of land on the edge of an ominous forest—within which lurks an unknown evil.
Horror thriller written and directed by Robert Eggers. The story follows a puritan family living on a farm in New England in 1630. When their baby son suddenly goes missing, the superstitious parents William (Ralph Ineson) and Katherine (Kate Dickie) begin to wrongly suspect their daughter Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy) is responsible and capable of witchcraft.
When further sinister things happen such as their crops failing, suspicion and fear begins to tear the family apart, driving them to commit heinous acts. All the while, they become more vulnerable to the real culprit that lurks in the woods behind their home.
