Ranking What Was Really The Best Horror Movie Every Year 1990-2021
7. 2015: The Witch
The simple but moody tale of a family who come across dark forces near their New England home in the 1630s, Robert Eggers' The Witch is a slow-burn horror that creates terror out of iconography, ambiguity, and inexplicable curveballs.
The kind of movie that plays on its audience's expectations and then twists them at the last second, The Witch is mesmerising in its simplicity, and engrossing in its sudden unpredictability.
A24 Films have produced some truly great horror movies over the years, and The Witch is still one of their very best.
