10 Most Messed Up Horror Movie Siblings
5. Thomasin - The Witch
Similarly to Lily and Victoria, Thomasin from Robert Eggers’ modern classic ‘The Witch’ had evil thrust upon her.
Firstly, being banished from your community and sent into the wilderness isn’t ideal, but then your baby brother goes missing? Okay, really not so good. Oh, then the whole family begin to suspect you of witchcraft and your whole life falls apart? Ah.
Thomasin has a chilling ambiguity to her: was she a witch all along, or did the series of terrible events lead her down such a dark path? Anya Taylor-Joy's magnetic performance keeps the audience guessing, whilst also portraying the terror and confusion felt by the young woman. Either way, we can all agree that the nightmarish things that happen to her and her family would certainly mess us up. Nobody wants incestuous advances form their own brother!
Granted, her younger twin siblings could easily take the spot on this list – goading Thomasin, feigning childlike innocence and also just being damn creepy. Their wild grins, eerie chanting and the malignant mischief of their actions does send goosebumps down your spine. However, Thomasin does in fact submit to the Devil himself and begins a life of eternal servitude to dark forces. That’s pretty messed up if you ask me.
Milking a goat and having it leak blood instead would be traumatising for anyone, but do you really need to levitate naked in order to get over that?
