@@ne0nmancerthat's true, but there is commonly held misunderstanding that it's an apple. So when referring to the fruit of the tree of knowledge, its often an apple that is pictured
I think that the apple had to do with the incestuous feelings between him and Thomasin, She said she wanted an apple when they were cuddling/tickle fighting after she caught him looking at her cleavage. And there was a bite taken out of the apple, which if you remember, she pretended to bite Caleb when they were play fighting.
Thomasin was the only pure, good one of the family. The witch couldn’t corrupt her. She could only manipulate the family against her, which resulted in her committing an ultimate sin, killings one mother. Such a good movie
The ending left me with some question. Will there be the second movie of what happen next after she corrupt? Why I don't feel bad for the ending? Why the ending is mysterious?
@@robadam7230 is it mysterious tho? After her entire family dies, she becomes a witch and that's that. That too after being blamed for every mishap even though it was their parents decision to move to the wilderness and to ignore the twins' possession. I would be pissed too.

Black Phillip reminds me of one of the Black paintings by Goya, the one where a large group of women gather around a black goat-headed figure. The creature is always interpreted as the devil himself.

I was more excited. The family’s paranoia And accusing her of witchcraft and Caleb’s death and his reciting Bible verses and especially the Song of Solomon verses were especially scary for me.

The faint view of ‘real’ Phillip/ the devil in the background as she signs the book…. just amazing and spooky at all once. This film is an epic Crucible revenge fantasy for me.
what do you mean by that? it was witches, or at least this film’s definition (which is an extension of how the Puritans defined them), in both stories, that selfishly put their own desires over everything else, which leads to the suffering of all those around them- even the object of their affections (and themselves since they will discover they’ll never be satisfied this way, they can only reap what they sow; even fine food will be ashes in their mouths, etc., it will never be enough because the selfish impulse that says _others must suffer so I can get what I want_ comes OUT of a deep lack of alignment with their true natures and what they truly desire). In the Crucible, the only people that should have suffered were the ones actually performing witchcraft, who caused innocents to die in their stead…. if the whole village had devolved into hysteria and killed each other, over the selfish lusts of a few girls, you would have been happier with that film/play? 🤔 Lol, maybe you meant something entirely different that makes sense.
It’s so good. I’m so glad they used natural lighting and candles. The candles glowing in his eyes were so spooky! The candle 🕯 light gleaming of his gold earrings, everything was just ✨chefs kiss ✨
The ambience of the music consisting of mostly harsh strings and haunting vocalizations chilled me to my core, and gave me such a strong sense of unease throughout the whole thing. It's one of my top 5 horror movies
It’s definitely my favorite. I have a list of shows and movies I watch every Halloween. Bram Stokers Dracula. The craft. AHS seasons 1-4.chilling adventures of Sabrina. That show actually accurately depicts the occult and history of the occult and they show the devil as being in black goat form as well. And in the last two seasons as a handsome man. I just rewatched this last night, the first time I watched it was in 2016, and i missed parts. From rewatching it 3x last night, every scene is vital to understanding the story. It’s most definitely my new favorite scary movie. Glad I rewatched it.

Caleb talking about the animals as he dies is not him trying to warn them about specific creatures. That scene was about "Spectral Evidence". Basically, it was thought a witch could harm a targeted person "spectrally", i.e. by sending her spirit to torment them. Most commonly, the torment was physical, such as making them feel as if they were being pricked, stabbed, or crushed, or visually, by showing them things. Preventing them from speaking, especially to say prayers, was also a common spectral evidence thing. Only the afflicted would be able to see this specter, which often took the form of an animal or familiar (and all of the animals Caleb lists are common familiars, or considered to have weird powers themselves). The twins are likewise being targeted or put under influence, since they say they can't say the Lord's Prayer and are being attacked (they are NOT "possessed by the devil"). The Salem Witch Trials allowed for Spectral Evidence, which basically lead to a bunch of hysterical teenagers rolling around on the ground, claiming they're being attacked by spectral birds or being stabbed with needles, while the witch they were accusing of doing it all would just be standing there, or not even present. A lot of Caleb's lines are pulled directly from court transcripts of people giving spectral evidence. The mom is not "betwitched". She signed the book, which makes her a witch. That's how that works. Her feeding the crow is indeed a reference to a "witch's teat" which is a special mark all witches have, which they use to feed their familiars. While it was supposed to look like a third nipple hidden somewhere random on the body, eventually any mole or scar on a person's body was seen as a possible, secretive witch's teat, and 'proof' the person was a witch. Despite basically everyone having at least one mole or scar.
One thing I noticed on my third viewing was that the mother confesses to William that when she was young, she had erotic dreams involving Jesus. The words Caleb utters before dying seems almost to describe this exact thing.
Wow Ok, I totally thought she had an affair on her husband, and I looked it up in IMDb and it said that she cheated on William, but ppl on Reddit said that she didn't love him so she felt that their baby Samuel was an child born of infidelity? That actress plays some annoying ppl between the chick on Game of Thrones(who was still breastfeeding her "far from a baby son" and was jealous over her teenage niece, but in this movie she's jealous over her daughter.....yet, she has Thomasin unbuttoning her dad's shirt as if he couldn't undress himself or his wife couldn't do it)and I just got a whole bunch of jealousy from her also because William defended his daughter a lot? I'm a Child Molestation survivor and I tend to get triggered over things real easy especially, when children are involved, so it's most likely just me but I got uneasy sexual undertones from Thomasin and William's relationship starting with how she took off his shirt? It made me cringe for her, Idk?
@@faithruckdeschel1294 Yeah gross all around, I've had similar experiences when younger but mine makes the old woman seducing a little boy the worst part for me. 😣🤢
@@faithruckdeschel1294 there was nothing incestuous about Thomesan and William. Women back.then would regularly perform acts like that for the patriarch of the family. It speaks more to the corrupt in Kathrine that she delegated the task of seeing to William's needs to her eldest daughter (instead of seeing to it herself) and seemingly being resentful toward her daughter for it. If anything incestuous was going on it was on Kathrine's end because she was showing signs of envy toward her own daughter who had reached physical maturity. Kathrine's sin was particularly ugly.
You took that scene the most absolute wrong way possible. She had dreams that she was walking and living among the savior, Jesus Christ, who's love is limitless and unbound.
If you like this movie you should definitively check out "The Dark and the Wicked", it kinda flew under the radar, but it has similar atmosphere and idea with The Witch, where estranged siblings gather to visit their father one last time, as he's in his deathbed and Satan waits for him to die so he can take his soul. It genuinely creep me out few times, it's slowburn, where Satan is never seen directly but is always seen and felt like this looming presence over the family and property.
The devil has always been portrayed as a goat, rarely as other animal forms except as fantastical beasts. Following the source materials, Black Philip here is the devil as the twins had said early on, not as a witches' familiar.
One thing I loved about this movie was the paranoia. Life back then was so unbelievably different. People took religion very seriously. Dangerously serious. The idea of a witch being amongst them was horrific to them. It lead to chaos and a lot of Death and pain. Like in this movie. Back then, if someone pointed their finger at you and said "witch", chances are you were screwed.
Because any normal disease back then had insanely high mortality rate Unseen forces killing your entire village which you have no info or cure against == will be taken as witchcraft even in present day
Men may fear witches because they possess a power and knowledge that challenges traditional gender roles and societal norms. 🔮🔥💪 Witches are often depicted as independent, cunning, and unafraid to speak their minds - characteristics that can be intimidating to those who are used to being in positions of power and control. Additionally, the history of witch persecution and the portrayal of witches in media as evil, manipulative beings has perpetuated a fear and mistrust of them. But fear not, dear men! Embracing the magic and wisdom of witches can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. So next time you feel that twinge of fear, remember that witches are not here to harm you, but to empower you to tap into your own inner strength and intuition. 🌟🌿 #DontFearTheWitch #EmbraceTheMagic #WitchyWisdom If you want to learn more about the power and mystery of witches, be sure to check out my TH-cam channel where I delve into all things mystical and enchanting.

this was one of my favourite movies the atmosphere was perfect, the environment was gorgeous and the acting was spot on, I just enjoyed every minute of of it. Pretty sure if the family was more loving and less divisive the "devil" would not have as much power over them, but stress and hunger can do some damage to people's psyche.
I already kinda mention this, but if you liked this movie, you should check out "The Dark and the Wicked". It's one of the few newer horror movies that legit creep me out at times. It has similar idea as Witch where family is talked by evil presence (Satan), but is only shown as this evil presence looming over this family. It legit creep me out few times, it's a slowburn so it takes a while for it to get going, but once shit actually starts to happen it only going from bad to worse for this family. Shame this movie never got more attention, the only time I've seen someone mentioned and praised it as "Best of 2020" was FoundFlix.
I loved this movie. I like horror movies and I love when they blend religion into it, and the acting, the writing, even down to the accents of the actors. Honestly I'm no linguist, certainly no historical linguist, but the way they delivered their lines and their manner of delivery was awesome. This is old style scary. Doesn't need blood and guts, even though there is still a little.
The director himself said they were all tripping on ergot. I think Thommasin killed her whole family due to the hallucinations. Our brains cannot image something we have never seen before, so the hallucinations would have been about the religious symbols and fear of witches that were all over during those times. I love it that the director explores gender, historical and religious themes, but the idea is pretty straightforward.
The Rev. George Burroughs is my 5x great grandfather. It was fun to see a family member on TV, finally! (Well, sort of.) Thanks for including the wee tale about Burroughs's flawless recitation of the Lord's Prayer, and Cotton Mather's forcing the lynching (in my view) to go ahead.
Hey CZs world, I know it’s been awhile so I’m not sure if you remember me or not. I must say I am truly impressed with how far your channel has grown! Keep up the good work brother!
The Puritans were religious extremists, and I think its a great way to frame why the family in this movie were so (accurately) wack. Also this movie seems heavily inspired by the Bell Witch!
If the father's sin was Pride, the mother Envy and the son's was Lust, what were the sins of the twins? (I think Tommasin was the only one who was "pure of heart" which made her the perfect target as this type of folklore tends to lend credence to power in purity/innocence)
The Twins would be sloth I think. I Notice they never help around, can't remember to recite prayers and pretty much leach off on the hard work the others do around the farm.
@@Passions5555 Not necessarily in Puritan society. The concept of children being permitted to have a childhood did not even exist until around the 16th/17th Century, so the twins would definitely have been expected to contribute on the farm in some capacity, even with the most miniscule of tasks. I would definitely agree that the sin of sloth would be appropriate for them.
@@Passions5555 plus I don't think the witch cares, Caleb was punished for his innocent lust. Although weird because it was his sister but it would be normal at his age if it wasn't his sis.
I always thought the titular "witch" was referring to Thomasin herself the whole movie was the devil (black philip, the rabbit, etc) bringing her over to his side, obviously with the help of the witch of the wood
The boy who played Caleb did an amazing job there! The fear and pain in his acting really adds up to this day. I assume the kids were luring the devil in to their farm in the form of Black Phillip tbh. Surprisingly enough, Anja Taylor Joy, the actress behind Thomasine eventually played Princess Peach in the Mario Movie from Illumination; it's also quite humorous since Jack Black, Bowser's VA in the 2023 film adaption whilst a part of his comedy-rock band Tenacious D fought the devil on many occasions(of whom The VVitch mentioned multiple times throughout), lol.
I loved this movie. I tried to watch the lighthouse and got wicked creeped out. Couldn't finish it. Not sure why. I got the the part when Robert Pattinson is watching the other guy "sleeping". The music the tension... I just couldn't do it.
my favorite parts of all your series is your sense of humor, very similar to mine. I put these on either to follow closely or throw on in the background when i do other things. thanks for being one of my favorites
I never really understood this movie 'cause there was a lot to it. Thanks for breaking it down! But unless the vvitch had a death wish, doesn't the karma from doing dark magick come back to you 5 fold or something like that?
The concept is actually known as "The Rule of Three," and it's a Wiccan thing. The witches that the Puritans believed haunted their lives were not Wiccan, they were supposed servants of Satan. Wicca has no "Satan" or other Ultimate Evil incarnate, and thus it is that a person's own malicious doings will return upon them threefold. But again, the witch of this film is no Wiccan, and thus isn't beholden to their belief.
the witch trails where a very dark part of history... but my favorite story is the one of Giles Corey, who in 1692 was accused of being a witch and then pressed to death by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts when he refused to enter a plea to the charge... they crushed him to death... ordered him to confess... but all he ever said was "more weight"...
I’ve heard that it was so his children could still inherit his land after he died. If he had confessed, it would have been taken. It’s pretty badass of him actually, even though there’s some evidence that he wasn’t the best person in life lol
The story about Giles Corey is pretty cool, but I always loved the one about Sarah Good and the Reverend Nicholas Noyes. Good continued to profess her innocence, even as she was awaiting execution. Noyes continued to try to force a confession, but she refused and it's said she told him "I'm no more a witch than you are a wizard, and if you take away my life God will give you blood to drink!" Noyes would later die of some sort of hemorrhage, choking on his own blood...so it appears that God _did_ in fact give him blood to drink.
please please do a Things You Missed on Marrowbone (2017) !! it’s such an amazing movies with great hidden details that you won’t notice until the second watch
Okay, not to nitpick, buuuttt... It's Not "Thoma - SINE" - it's Thoma - SIN. They say her name a lot. Also, Katherine doesn't enter through a window - she is getting up out of bed. She's obviously in her nightclothes, and the curtain is around the bed, because the parent's bed is in the main room on the first floor. And (I'm sure someone else has mentioned this), the witch doesn't "possess" Black Phillip - he is the actual devil (or demon) disguised as the goat.
Am i the only one that thinks thomasin was in on it the whole time? She clearly was more aware of what was happening than everyone else... 1. When she scares mercy by the lake she mentions very specific details concerning witchcraft and the devil and does so quite passionately. It comes off as one of those "hidden in plain sight" sort of lies, where someone outright tells the truth in a dramatic way in attempt to make you not take it seriously 2. In the beginning when she is praying/confessing i think shes doing so AFTER Samuel was taken, and she does so out of fear that maybe her unpure acts of "breaking commandments in thought" may have had something to do with it. Either way she does appear a bit guilty; also in the scene when shes cleaning the goats barn and hears jonas and mercy sing the black philip song, she stops everything shes doing and stares into nothingness... then leaves to go to where samuel was taken and stares into the woods ominously... see my question is why would black philip remind her of samuel being taken... no one had made that connection until later on in the film... shes the only character that drew any connection between black phillip and everyone going missing/dying that early on... 3. I dont think she made a deal with anyone prior to all of this but i definitely think she had a clearer idea of what was actually going on before anyone else and chose to stay silent through it all. And i think her reasons for staying silent are obvious, she wanted to live the good life. She missed england and often reminisced about "the glass windows" and how "it was pretty," similiar to when the devil tempts her with the "pretty dress." She knew there was something supernatural going on which is why she always got very tense whenever Mercy would mention witches, especially in relation to her. At the end of the day, thomasin chose to stay silent throughout these events because she knew that the "delicious" life she had always wanted was now within reach, and was caught in a crossroads on which path to chose 4. She resented everyone in the family. Except caleb, of course, which explains why she never cries when any of her family members die EXCEPT caleb. When her mother attacked her at the end, the mother didn't necessarily look like she was doing anything that violent other then trying to slap her around, when they were on the ground. But of course, then thomasin grabs a whole ass steak knife and slices the fuck out of her face... and then on top of that, you can see that thomasins reaction after doing so is completely calm... she doesnt even appear shocked that she just sliced her moms face in half. And ONLY THEN does the mom attempt to kill thomasin, most likely out of fear of getting killed first Everywhere i look, people see thomasin as the most innocent of the characters even tho she was literally who the devil and the witch had their eyes on the whole time. They sabotaged the family to get to her... as they Probably had done with many of the other witches in their coven. Its like an initiation. At the end of the movie after her whole family is dead all she does is take a nap... like wtf... and then wakes up and "signs the devils book" AKA has sex with him (thats what it meant in folklore of the time). In fact, when she admits her illiteracy by saying "i cant write my name" that was basically her saying the she was a virgin, and the devils response "i will guide thy hand" is him telling her to just follow his lead. I dont think she was completely guilty, not at all, but she definitely played a larger part in her familys demise than people are mentioning. And its proven at the end of the movie when she choses to side with the very people that haunted and killed her entire family I mean is it rocket science....?
I was born, raised, and currently live in New England. I agree, we had wild imaginations when it came to imagining witches...and morons when it came to accusations and punishments towards said "witches".
Problem is that witches are real. People who sell their soul to the Devil are real. Unfortunately when Christianity was started to be accepted by Europeans, many of these demon/devil worshippers went underground and were allowed to grow and expand. Movies like this should never ever be made in the first place but unfortunately Hollywood is so demonic.
I remember visiting my great aunt in Ft Stockton Texas. She had a goat that looked like black Philip. That goat was real mean and would chase me around. There was time I grabbed him by the horns to hold him back and he bit me hard in the stomach. Bleeding and stuff it was painful.
Im generally not a horror fan because nowadays a lot of horror that is very popular and comes from big production seems cheap to me. I think Eggers style of writing and directing falls right on the border between indie/arthouse and „big enough production to not look like shit“. Combining originality with big names and budgets. I’m a big fan and I can’t wait to see what he produces in the future, he really does his homework on the topics he writes about. Also the child actor playing Caleb was INSANE to me, i got chills watching the death scene, he is definitely going places in the industry and I’m hoping he makes it big, that kid has TALENT.
I randomly picked The Witch when we had a horror movie marathon with my boyfriend last summer. He is very picky about horror movies and I was not expecting him to like it, because I knew that this one is not full of jumpscares. But throughout the whole movie he was saying that it’s giving him uneasy feelings and at the end he said that this one goes on the list of his top favourite horror movies and I can only agree with that statement. Great atmospehere, and when you notice the details and connect together all the pieces it’s just 🤌🏻
My confession is I’ve been painting minis since D&D days. Testors no prime To now where i build one day and prime another. Start painting base coats Then a while later I a dry brushe and awhile after that I do something else but never finished much. Except Battlefleet Gothic where simple techniques worked fast.

Okay, I know everyone here is having a serious discussion of this movie in the comments. I watched it myself, I was totally creeped out. But are we all going to ignore the quick editing of Gannon from the Zelda CDI saying "Die!" @12:48? I laughed way too hard.
Interesting fact, one idea of where the mythology of witches came from in Europe js medieval brewer women. They would famously wear a pointed hat. Brewing of beer requires the boiling of water, so they would often be seen stirring a large cauldron over a fire. Brewing beer requires grain which can attract rodents, so they would often have a cat with them. The grain can also spill and create a mess, so they would often have a broom nearby and at the ready.
One, two, three, four. Raise the devil to our door, call the crow, the hare, the ram. Raise the devil all who can. Make him walk from floor to roof, his name is father split hoof. One, two, three, four. The devil is here so say no more.
Ostara (or Eostre) is not associated with hares or eggs. She’s barely associated with Spring. She was worshipped in a small area during a very obscure time of the year.
The areas where Bede said she was worshiped just so happens to also have settlements and landmarks with "Eost" in their names, which means "East" in Old Saxon. It's possible Eostre was a deified ancestor spirit who was named after the area and people who worship her.
I don’t think ergot had anything to do with the Salem hysteria, but I think the recent wars with the Indians had traumatized and forced into servitude many of the accusers.
I love this analysis, and I learned a lot about one of my favorite films. My own headcanon for this movie is that the family is going insane from their isolation and religious paranoia, and that manifests in the form of delusions about the devil. But I know my reading is probably not the actual canon one and definitely a minority interpretation.
The ergot theory has been thoroughly debunked. It had nothing to do with the Salem witch hunt. The symptoms don’t match, the symptoms come on at convenient times, go away when the afflicted sleep, and no one died.
I remember realizing the Apple from Caleb's mouth not only was Biblical but symbolized his lie about the apple tree to cover his father's lie. Melted.
The apple is not biblical, but from biblical literature. The Bible itself doesn`t specify the fruit.

Most commonly, the torment was physical, such as making them feel as if they were being pricked, stabbed, or crushed, or visually, by showing them things. Preventing them from speaking, especially to say prayers, was also a common spectral evidence thing.
Only the afflicted would be able to see this specter, which often took the form of an animal or familiar (and all of the animals Caleb lists are common familiars, or considered to have weird powers themselves). The twins are likewise being targeted or put under influence, since they say they can't say the Lord's Prayer and are being attacked (they are NOT "possessed by the devil"). The Salem Witch Trials allowed for Spectral Evidence, which basically lead to a bunch of hysterical teenagers rolling around on the ground, claiming they're being attacked by spectral birds or being stabbed with needles, while the witch they were accusing of doing it all would just be standing there, or not even present. A lot of Caleb's lines are pulled directly from court transcripts of people giving spectral evidence.
The mom is not "betwitched". She signed the book, which makes her a witch. That's how that works. Her feeding the crow is indeed a reference to a "witch's teat" which is a special mark all witches have, which they use to feed their familiars. While it was supposed to look like a third nipple hidden somewhere random on the body, eventually any mole or scar on a person's body was seen as a possible, secretive witch's teat, and 'proof' the person was a witch. Despite basically everyone having at least one mole or scar.
One thing I noticed on my third viewing was that the mother confesses to William that when she was young, she had erotic dreams involving Jesus. The words Caleb utters before dying seems almost to describe this exact thing.
Wow Ok, I totally thought she had an affair on her husband, and I looked it up in IMDb and it said that she cheated on William, but ppl on Reddit said that she didn't love him so she felt that their baby Samuel was an child born of infidelity? That actress plays some annoying ppl between the chick on Game of Thrones(who was still breastfeeding her "far from a baby son" and was jealous over her teenage niece, but in this movie she's jealous over her daughter.....yet, she has Thomasin unbuttoning her dad's shirt as if he couldn't undress himself or his wife couldn't do it)and I just got a whole bunch of jealousy from her also because William defended his daughter a lot? I'm a Child Molestation survivor and I tend to get triggered over things real easy especially, when children are involved, so it's most likely just me but I got uneasy sexual undertones from Thomasin and William's relationship starting with how she took off his shirt? It made me cringe for her, Idk?
@@faithruckdeschel1294 Yeah gross all around, I've had similar experiences when younger but mine makes the old woman seducing a little boy the worst part for me. 😣🤢
@@faithruckdeschel1294 yeah its 100% just you. That is a huge stretch.
@@faithruckdeschel1294 there was nothing incestuous about Thomesan and William. Women back.then would regularly perform acts like that for the patriarch of the family. It speaks more to the corrupt in Kathrine that she delegated the task of seeing to William's needs to her eldest daughter (instead of seeing to it herself) and seemingly being resentful toward her daughter for it. If anything incestuous was going on it was on Kathrine's end because she was showing signs of envy toward her own daughter who had reached physical maturity. Kathrine's sin was particularly ugly.
You took that scene the most absolute wrong way possible. She had dreams that she was walking and living among the savior, Jesus Christ, who's love is limitless and unbound.
If you like this movie you should definitively check out "The Dark and the Wicked", it kinda flew under the radar, but it has similar atmosphere and idea with The Witch, where estranged siblings gather to visit their father one last time, as he's in his deathbed and Satan waits for him to die so he can take his soul. It genuinely creep me out few times, it's slowburn, where Satan is never seen directly but is always seen and felt like this looming presence over the family and property.
Watched it about two months ago. It was a great movie. Not scary but creepy.
Really underrated.
Same with the blackcoats daughter. Same feeling.
@@ErinJeanette I can never manage to check that one out, keep forgetting about it. 😂
@@njmfff it's very good
The devil has always been portrayed as a goat, rarely as other animal forms except as fantastical beasts. Following the source materials, Black Philip here is the devil as the twins had said early on, not as a witches' familiar.
One thing I loved about this movie was the paranoia. Life back then was so unbelievably different. People took religion very seriously. Dangerously serious. The idea of a witch being amongst them was horrific to them. It lead to chaos and a lot of Death and pain. Like in this movie. Back then, if someone pointed their finger at you and said "witch", chances are you were screwed.
Because any normal disease back then had insanely high mortality rate
Unseen forces killing your entire village which you have no info or cure against == will be taken as witchcraft even in present day
Men may fear witches because they possess a power and knowledge that challenges traditional gender roles and societal norms. 🔮🔥💪 Witches are often depicted as independent, cunning, and unafraid to speak their minds - characteristics that can be intimidating to those who are used to being in positions of power and control. Additionally, the history of witch persecution and the portrayal of witches in media as evil, manipulative beings has perpetuated a fear and mistrust of them.
But fear not, dear men! Embracing the magic and wisdom of witches can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. So next time you feel that twinge of fear, remember that witches are not here to harm you, but to empower you to tap into your own inner strength and intuition. 🌟🌿 #DontFearTheWitch #EmbraceTheMagic #WitchyWisdom

this was one of my favourite movies the atmosphere was perfect, the environment was gorgeous and the acting was spot on, I just enjoyed every minute of of it. Pretty sure if the family was more loving and less divisive the "devil" would not have as much power over them, but stress and hunger can do some damage to people's psyche.
I already kinda mention this, but if you liked this movie, you should check out "The Dark and the Wicked". It's one of the few newer horror movies that legit creep me out at times. It has similar idea as Witch where family is talked by evil presence (Satan), but is only shown as this evil presence looming over this family. It legit creep me out few times, it's a slowburn so it takes a while for it to get going, but once shit actually starts to happen it only going from bad to worse for this family.
Shame this movie never got more attention, the only time I've seen someone mentioned and praised it as "Best of 2020" was FoundFlix.
@@njmfffabsolutely loved that movie. Not cheesy or anything.
The family was damned from the get go, mostly due to the mother, secondly the father.
I loved this movie. I like horror movies and I love when they blend religion into it, and the acting, the writing, even down to the accents of the actors. Honestly I'm no linguist, certainly no historical linguist, but the way they delivered their lines and their manner of delivery was awesome. This is old style scary. Doesn't need blood and guts, even though there is still a little.
The director himself said they were all tripping on ergot. I think Thommasin killed her whole family due to the hallucinations. Our brains cannot image something we have never seen before, so the hallucinations would have been about the religious symbols and fear of witches that were all over during those times. I love it that the director explores gender, historical and religious themes, but the idea is pretty straightforward.
I don’t think ergot grows on corn does it?
@@theotter6279 I think it grows on wheat
Lol imagine so random traveler just happening upon the aftermath
No he said that there's a literal witch killing the family.
@@BasiliusFuturrrI think it was both. Because ergot was in the wheat when the Salem witch trials happened supposedly.
The Rev. George Burroughs is my 5x great grandfather. It was fun to see a family member on TV, finally! (Well, sort of.) Thanks for including the wee tale about Burroughs's flawless recitation of the Lord's Prayer, and Cotton Mather's forcing the lynching (in my view) to go ahead.
i was literally binging on your horror history videos last night, and i woke up to a new upload. Life is good!
It's nice when that happens.

THE GRIIIIIIMMMM
Hey CZs world, I know it’s been awhile so I’m not sure if you remember me or not. I must say I am truly impressed with how far your channel has grown! Keep up the good work brother!
This is simply the greatest horror movie ever made. I haven't seen another movie that stuck with me since the first watch.
I agree. Hereditary also left me unnerved. Haha
The Puritans were religious extremists, and I think its a great way to frame why the family in this movie were so (accurately) wack.
Also this movie seems heavily inspired by the Bell Witch!
If the father's sin was Pride, the mother Envy and the son's was Lust, what were the sins of the twins? (I think Tommasin was the only one who was "pure of heart" which made her the perfect target as this type of folklore tends to lend credence to power in purity/innocence)
The Twins would be sloth I think. I Notice they never help around, can't remember to recite prayers and pretty much leach off on the hard work the others do around the farm.
@Frank Balatbat but they are young? Wouldn't they be playing more than doing actual chores?
@@Passions5555 Not necessarily in Puritan society. The concept of children being permitted to have a childhood did not even exist until around the 16th/17th Century, so the twins would definitely have been expected to contribute on the farm in some capacity, even with the most miniscule of tasks. I would definitely agree that the sin of sloth would be appropriate for them.
@@Passions5555 plus I don't think the witch cares, Caleb was punished for his innocent lust. Although weird because it was his sister but it would be normal at his age if it wasn't his sis.
Wouldn't Thomsen be rage?
Always wanted more the vvitch breakdowns
I always thought the titular "witch" was referring to Thomasin herself
the whole movie was the devil (black philip, the rabbit, etc) bringing her over to his side, obviously with the help of the witch of the wood
so happy to see this movie as a horror history episode. great work :)
The boy who played Caleb did an amazing job there! The fear and pain in his acting really adds up to this day. I assume the kids were luring the devil in to their farm in the form of Black Phillip tbh. Surprisingly enough, Anja Taylor Joy, the actress behind Thomasine eventually played Princess Peach in the Mario Movie from Illumination; it's also quite humorous since Jack Black, Bowser's VA in the 2023 film adaption whilst a part of his comedy-rock band Tenacious D fought the devil on many occasions(of whom The VVitch mentioned multiple times throughout), lol.
This was such a great film and the lighthouse was a great followup
Same goes for The Northman.. 3 great movies
I loved this movie. I tried to watch the lighthouse and got wicked creeped out. Couldn't finish it. Not sure why. I got the the part when Robert Pattinson is watching the other guy "sleeping". The music the tension... I just couldn't do it.
Wow! Yesterday I watched The Witch for the first time since it came out in 2015. And then I see this video! So eerie ❤ 😳
my favorite parts of all your series is your sense of humor, very similar to mine. I put these on either to follow closely or throw on in the background when i do other things. thanks for being one of my favorites
Thanks for another one. I LOVE your literal title pronunciation. Dont ever stop.
I've been waiting such a long time for the sequel, The Adventures of Thomasin and the Evil Twins.
Thank u for covering this movie, Professor!
I never really understood this movie 'cause there was a lot to it.
Thanks for breaking it down!
But unless the vvitch had a death wish, doesn't the karma from doing dark magick come back to you 5 fold or something like that?
The payback you receive is you going to hell after death.
The concept is actually known as "The Rule of Three," and it's a Wiccan thing. The witches that the Puritans believed haunted their lives were not Wiccan, they were supposed servants of Satan. Wicca has no "Satan" or other Ultimate Evil incarnate, and thus it is that a person's own malicious doings will return upon them threefold. But again, the witch of this film is no Wiccan, and thus isn't beholden to their belief.
Back then I kind of wish that they made it a sequel that picks up where the movie left off
the witch trails where a very dark part of history... but my favorite story is the one of Giles Corey, who in 1692 was accused of being a witch and then pressed to death by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts when he refused to enter a plea to the charge... they crushed him to death... ordered him to confess... but all he ever said was "more weight"...
I’ve heard that it was so his children could still inherit his land after he died. If he had confessed, it would have been taken. It’s pretty badass of him actually, even though there’s some evidence that he wasn’t the best person in life lol
And local legend has it that his ghost has attacked every person to ever hold the office of sheriff in Salem to this day.
The story about Giles Corey is pretty cool, but I always loved the one about Sarah Good and the Reverend Nicholas Noyes. Good continued to profess her innocence, even as she was awaiting execution. Noyes continued to try to force a confession, but she refused and it's said she told him "I'm no more a witch than you are a wizard, and if you take away my life God will give you blood to drink!" Noyes would later die of some sort of hemorrhage, choking on his own blood...so it appears that God _did_ in fact give him blood to drink.
I love your videos. I’ve literally listened to them while falling asleep
I've been waiting for you to put this out!
Being a witch always sounded so much more fun than being a Puritan… I’m not going to lie 😂
Smearing dead baby gore on yourself sounds fun does it? Ok freak
Being bad is always more fun than being good lol the only thing stopping us are morals and laws.
Didn't she eat baby?
@@kwayneboy1524baby got guac'ed fr
like they’re all struggling while she’s being silly and just flying on a broom. id want to be a witch too ngl
Great analysis! This movie blew me away in so many regards. Caleb's catharsis was just over the top. I choose to remain live un-deliciously
please please do a Things You Missed on Marrowbone (2017) !! it’s such an amazing movies with great hidden details that you won’t notice until the second watch
Okay, not to nitpick, buuuttt... It's Not "Thoma - SINE" - it's Thoma - SIN. They say her name a lot. Also, Katherine doesn't enter through a window - she is getting up out of bed. She's obviously in her nightclothes, and the curtain is around the bed, because the parent's bed is in the main room on the first floor. And (I'm sure someone else has mentioned this), the witch doesn't "possess" Black Phillip - he is the actual devil (or demon) disguised as the goat.
So impressed with your analysis and breakdown…. Ever thought about doing this for a living? 😂
4:34 I think you meant the VVood
Love your videos and all the wonderful interpretations and discussions your hard work helps cultivate!
Am i the only one that thinks thomasin was in on it the whole time? She clearly was more aware of what was happening than everyone else...
1. When she scares mercy by the lake she mentions very specific details concerning witchcraft and the devil and does so quite passionately. It comes off as one of those "hidden in plain sight" sort of lies, where someone outright tells the truth in a dramatic way in attempt to make you not take it seriously
2. In the beginning when she is praying/confessing i think shes doing so AFTER Samuel was taken, and she does so out of fear that maybe her unpure acts of "breaking commandments in thought" may have had something to do with it. Either way she does appear a bit guilty; also in the scene when shes cleaning the goats barn and hears jonas and mercy sing the black philip song, she stops everything shes doing and stares into nothingness... then leaves to go to where samuel was taken and stares into the woods ominously... see my question is why would black philip remind her of samuel being taken... no one had made that connection until later on in the film... shes the only character that drew any connection between black phillip and everyone going missing/dying that early on...
3. I dont think she made a deal with anyone prior to all of this but i definitely think she had a clearer idea of what was actually going on before anyone else and chose to stay silent through it all. And i think her reasons for staying silent are obvious, she wanted to live the good life. She missed england and often reminisced about "the glass windows" and how "it was pretty," similiar to when the devil tempts her with the "pretty dress." She knew there was something supernatural going on which is why she always got very tense whenever Mercy would mention witches, especially in relation to her. At the end of the day, thomasin chose to stay silent throughout these events because she knew that the "delicious" life she had always wanted was now within reach, and was caught in a crossroads on which path to chose
4. She resented everyone in the family. Except caleb, of course, which explains why she never cries when any of her family members die EXCEPT caleb. When her mother attacked her at the end, the mother didn't necessarily look like she was doing anything that violent other then trying to slap her around, when they were on the ground. But of course, then thomasin grabs a whole ass steak knife and slices the fuck out of her face... and then on top of that, you can see that thomasins reaction after doing so is completely calm... she doesnt even appear shocked that she just sliced her moms face in half. And ONLY THEN does the mom attempt to kill thomasin, most likely out of fear of getting killed first
Everywhere i look, people see thomasin as the most innocent of the characters even tho she was literally who the devil and the witch had their eyes on the whole time. They sabotaged the family to get to her... as they Probably had done with many of the other witches in their coven. Its like an initiation. At the end of the movie after her whole family is dead all she does is take a nap... like wtf... and then wakes up and "signs the devils book" AKA has sex with him (thats what it meant in folklore of the time). In fact, when she admits her illiteracy by saying "i cant write my name" that was basically her saying the she was a virgin, and the devils response "i will guide thy hand" is him telling her to just follow his lead.
I dont think she was completely guilty, not at all, but she definitely played a larger part in her familys demise than people are mentioning. And its proven at the end of the movie when she choses to side with the very people that haunted and killed her entire family
I mean is it rocket science....?
Hii
Love this movie,took me two times watching this movie to understand the little details in it
I was born, raised, and currently live in New England. I agree, we had wild imaginations when it came to imagining witches...and morons when it came to accusations and punishments towards said "witches".
Problem is that witches are real. People who sell their soul to the Devil are real. Unfortunately when Christianity was started to be accepted by Europeans, many of these demon/devil worshippers went underground and were allowed to grow and expand. Movies like this should never ever be made in the first place but unfortunately Hollywood is so demonic.
This movie scares me :(
What’s your favorite scary movie?😈
I dont think black philip was the witch controlling the goat i think it was actually the devil
Yeah he literally changes into a man, I think that was him and the witch is more of a disgruntled neighbor.
Correct. This video is a bit disappointing as I don't get how he thinks it was the witch the entire time. 🤣
@Earth Bruja wasn't that disappointing for me but feel like there is more he could have elaborated on like black Philip being the devil
I remember visiting my great aunt in Ft Stockton Texas. She had a goat that looked like black Philip. That goat was real mean and would chase me around. There was time I grabbed him by the horns to hold him back and he bit me hard in the stomach. Bleeding and stuff it was painful.
Love this movie.. Great actors including Black Phillip 😊
Can we all agree about how amazingly beautiful ATJ is in that last scene?
Fun fact: The actor who player the father in this movie played as a witch in fear street part 3!
Woah first! Love your videos man! Also will be checking this movie out now lol

Im generally not a horror fan because nowadays a lot of horror that is very popular and comes from big production seems cheap to me. I think Eggers style of writing and directing falls right on the border between indie/arthouse and „big enough production to not look like shit“. Combining originality with big names and budgets. I’m a big fan and I can’t wait to see what he produces in the future, he really does his homework on the topics he writes about. Also the child actor playing Caleb was INSANE to me, i got chills watching the death scene, he is definitely going places in the industry and I’m hoping he makes it big, that kid has TALENT.
I randomly picked The Witch when we had a horror movie marathon with my boyfriend last summer. He is very picky about horror movies and I was not expecting him to like it, because I knew that this one is not full of jumpscares. But throughout the whole movie he was saying that it’s giving him uneasy feelings and at the end he said that this one goes on the list of his top favourite horror movies and I can only agree with that statement. Great atmospehere, and when you notice the details and connect together all the pieces it’s just 🤌🏻

Your analysis of horror movies always makes me think how really dumb and naive I am. I feel like you should charge for your immaculately presented and researched insights. Some of your segments leave me breathless
I always viewed the ending differently she starved to death and her joining the coven is all in her head
Why would that be in her head?
@@kwayneboy1524 she’s been through a lot: 1)emotionally been through the ringer with all the family drama; 2) she probably has poor nutrition due to the farm not doing well; 3) she is not entirely familiar with her surroundings and unaccustomed to living in the wild for an undetermined amount of time

Okay, I know everyone here is having a serious discussion of this movie in the comments. I watched it myself, I was totally creeped out. But are we all going to ignore the quick editing of Gannon from the Zelda CDI saying "Die!" @12:48? I laughed way too hard.
Interesting fact, one idea of where the mythology of witches came from in Europe js medieval brewer women. They would famously wear a pointed hat. Brewing of beer requires the boiling of water, so they would often be seen stirring a large cauldron over a fire. Brewing beer requires grain which can attract rodents, so they would often have a cat with them. The grain can also spill and create a mess, so they would often have a broom nearby and at the ready.
Stellar video! This movie is one of my all-time favourites. 10/10 would like to live deliciously.
One, two, three, four. Raise the devil to our door, call the crow, the hare, the ram. Raise the devil all who can. Make him walk from floor to roof, his name is father split hoof. One, two, three, four. The devil is here so say no more.
Hi just wanted to congratulate your videos and analysis are truly spot on! 💎👍👻
The religious freedom sought by the pilgrims was the freedom to be extreme in their belief...
Love how the title of this video is actually VVitch
I like the sass in the way you pronounce the vivitch
Ostara (or Eostre) is not associated with hares or eggs. She’s barely associated with Spring. She was worshipped in a small area during a very obscure time of the year.
The areas where Bede said she was worshiped just so happens to also have settlements and landmarks with "Eost" in their names, which means "East" in Old Saxon. It's possible Eostre was a deified ancestor spirit who was named after the area and people who worship her.
I don’t think ergot had anything to do with the Salem hysteria, but I think the recent wars with the Indians had traumatized and forced into servitude many of the accusers.
my boss was the assistant costume designer!! soo talented
Some of info about them shows how crazy nuts Puritans are.
I love this analysis, and I learned a lot about one of my favorite films. My own headcanon for this movie is that the family is going insane from their isolation and religious paranoia, and that manifests in the form of delusions about the devil. But I know my reading is probably not the actual canon one and definitely a minority interpretation.
Ergot poisoning making them all go crazy witch just watching from afar wondering why half her work is already done before she got there.
VVitch Please!
I think black phiph was the devil and lured the twins into becoming possived and was coummican to the witch on when to act and who to go after
Hii
The minute I saw black phillip dancing to the twins singing I was back on boat to new England
You are awesome 🎉❤❤❤
I can see the Arthur Machen influence when watching this movie.
Another great watch.
Thanks man!!
I dunno why you think the goat was possesed by the witch. Thought it was pretty clear it was the devil
This movie got an A+ from me
As a pagan I can safely tell this is not my fault. Now if you look over here you will see something amazing. (Runs away while everyone is distracted.)
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist.
Hm, I always assumed it was more than one witch considering the ending of the film, it looks like a whole coven is in the woods.
One of the most masterful things in this movie is how the sexual tension between Thomasin and Caleb is depicted.
Yes! One of my favorite movies!
God I love your humor with these vids. “The V V itch,” it’s clutch good sir 🫶🏻
Awesome video man
Kathrine wasn’t entering through a window. Wasn’t that just a curtain around their bed ?
The ergot theory has been thoroughly debunked. It had nothing to do with the Salem witch hunt. The symptoms don’t match, the symptoms come on at convenient times, go away when the afflicted sleep, and no one died.
Thomasine is the cutest girl i have ever seen in a movie.
It is so awful how she ends.
Hold up, black Phillip wasnt a witch, black Phillip was the devil. Are you serious right now?
Make sure to bring this up to annoy everyone next Easter.😂
First time I’ve noticed Ana Taylor is in this movie
Imagine if the puritans Settle in Australia instead of America when they saw kangaroos. They would have thought it was the devil.
