Note : Of course sooner or later we had to get around to the film that kicked off the recent folk horror boom, and although it was badly advertised at the time, it's truly excellent, an ominous slow burn of creeping dread, merciless wilderness, religious fanaticism, and interfamily resentment. Production design, performances, and visuals are uniformly great. It instantly made a star out of the now-ubiquitous Anya Taylor-Joy, launched the career of director Robert Eggers, and put distributor A24 firmly on the map as a distributor of unusual independent film and artsy horror. Not bad for an almost tediously historically accurate film about 17th century puritans and one very naughty goat.
William and his family are too puritan even for the puritans, and so they're banished from their native settlement. They build a farm in a clearing near a dark forest, and get on with puritan pastimes such as having a fifth child and walking outside in the freezing rain. When infant Samuel mysteriously disappears while in teenaged daughter Thomasin's care, mother Katherine goes into a tailspin, preteen son Caleb wonders if his unbaptized brother went to heaven, and young twins Mercy and Jonas start spending an unhealthy amount of time with the farm's ominous goat, Black Phillip, who they claim talks to them. Things get worse when Caleb is seduced by a mysterious young woman in the woods and comes back home deathly ill, and Katherine blames Thomasin for everything. As you might suspect, this story doesn't really end very well for anyone, as often happens to people in cabins in woods.
As usual with newer films, this is a very high quality Blu-Ray, with a subtle grain structure, showing off the often very dark, desaturated, and low-contrast, but very pretty, cinematography. I erred on the side of safety on the bitrate here to make sure details in the shadows were not lost. 5.1 track is also pretty much perfect, and the director's commentary track gives a lot of information about the production process, which sounds pretty grueling.
Hot tip 
Quote:HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk folk horror” for more dark woods full of ancient horrors, “hevk witch” for more crones flying on broomsticks, or “hevk 2010s” for more from the decade when horror got "elevated", apparently.
