Why ‘The Witch’ Still Haunts Us: Robert Eggers’ Timeless Masterpiece
In a manner reminiscent of Amando de Ossorio’s Blind Dead films, The Witch weaves folklore and ambiance in an unparalleled way since then. Eggers’ storytelling employs cinematic strategies akin to Russian filmmakers like Andrei Tarkovsky and Elam Klimov, enhancing the mood and constructing a visually immersive experience that transports viewers into a realm where virtuousness and evil cohabit, ultimately leading to the ruin of a family who strictly adhere to these values.
