Cult/ The Witch

Directed by Robert Eggers

New England, 1630: William and Katherine strive to lead a devout Christian life, homesteading on the edge of an impassible wilderness with their five children. 

When their newborn son mysteriously vanishes and their crops fail, the family begins to turn on one another. Thomasin, the family’s eldest daughter, comes under the greatest suspicion of all. 

With the arrival of Nosferatu on our screens, filmmaker Robert Eggers sinks his teeth into the vampire myth and cements his status as one of horror cinema’s darkest and most distinctive voices. To mark the occasion, we return to the captivating debut feature that heralded a new era of movie malevolence. 

Live deliciously – revisit the original cinematic sin of Robert Eggers.
