  • We take a look at Robert Eggers’ directorial debut The Witch (2015) AKA 'The VVitch' – starring Anya Taylor-Joy in her breakout role, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie and Harvey Scrimshaw.

    We talk through the history of witchcraft in early modern Europe and how it inspired this movie – with much of the dialogue being lifted directly from historical sources.

    Plus: fans of Black Philip, the best witch’s familiars’ names, the true horror of Mathew Hopkins (Witchfinder General) and Bryce recalls our encounter with a possessed seminary!
