A24 has released another creepyThe Witchtrailer, which perfectly balances the film’s inciting event (a baby goes missing, and its family suspects an evil witch in the woods may be responsible) and the eerie, unsettling mood that pervadesRobert Eggers’ debut feature. I managed to catchThe Witchlast year at TIFF, and if the movie had opened in general release in 2015, it easily would have made my Top 10. It’s one of the best horror films I’ve ever seen, and so perfectly crafted that it reaches points of infinite possibility where you believe any horrible thing could happen at any moment, but not in a “jump scare” kind of way....

How we watch television has changed dramatically over the years. These days,with so much content on streaming services, you can watch new episodes of your favorite show whenever you want. That’s great for convenience, but it takes away the community feel TV used to have when we all had no choice but to watch a show at the same time on a certain day of the week.
