The Witch
In 1630, a farmer relocates his family to a remote plot of land on the edge of a forest where strange, unsettling things happen. With suspicion and paranoia mounting, each family member's faith, loyalty and love are tested in shocking ways.
The Witch is widely treated as horror/folk-horror; its core experience is fear, dread and supernatural threat driving the atmosphere and plot. While it includes historical drama, removing horror would undermine its central identity.
Best for viewers looking for a scary, atmosphere-heavy, psychological and slow-burning horror movie.
