The Witch is a horror period drama that (deservedly) took the horror world by storm.

It’s a polarizing movie. We like it a lot (to varying degrees) but audiences were left cold compared with the critical reception.

1950s creature features are fun. In Episode 140, we examine THE CURSE OF THE FACELESS MAN.
