The Witch (2015)

"The Witch" is a scary and eerie interpretation of the concept, lacking the joy and optimism that many films associate with the theme of magic. While the prevalent fear of witches in the 17th century has since been proven to be baseless, the method taken in this 2015 horror film is unmistakable.

A Puritan family's rural New England farm is beset by a sequence of disasters, ranging from kid abduction to animal mutilation. As their paranoia overcomes them, the nightmare occurrences become increasingly chaotic, pitting family members against one another. The paranormal aspect of the being tormenting the family, on the other hand, is undeniable, as is the uncertainty surrounding the witch's next move.
