Overhyped? I don’t care what anyone thinks as the success of A24’s The Witch was a huge deal for us horror fans. Sick of remakes? Well, you should be celebrating that a distributor took a chance on a unique and extremely small indie film that made the festival rounds.
If you’re a fan of the film, which we are here at Bloody Disgusting, then you’re going to get a kick out of this new TV Spot for The Witch that focuses on the film’s iconic goat names Black Phillip. Courtesy of EW, the trailer carries tons of footage of the goat, to go along with haunting whispers of his name and quotes focused on the symbolic animal.
Robert Eggers’ The Witch made an impressive $8 million at the box office, and should instill some confidence in distributors to take more risks in the future. We deserve this.
Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie, Harvey Scrimshaw, Ellie Grainger, and Lucas Dawson star in the film rated R “for disturbing violent content and graphic nudity.“
