A secret religious sect has been tasked with keeping him safe while he works in conjunction with the witch counsel. His job is to hunt down the bad witches and bring them in for justice so witches can live in harmony with humans.even outright signs of graphic gore (there are a few disturbing images in the film, but they're relatively restrained, at least within the context of intentionally small scale The Witch.

There’s a touch more colour saturation in the sky at that shot previously mentioned at 3 minutes from the DV layer and in some comparison photos taken (not with appropriate equipment it must be said), the DV layer had a slightly cooler look it - although to the eye and in motion, these differences were for the vast majority of the time negligible. The designed muted and desaturated colour scheme renders any real differences to these two HDR variants almost moot.

(7 minutes) Based on Eggers’ darker interests while growing up near Salem, The Witch is a masterpiece of a film that can easily be interpreted as a family drama, a tale of religious puritanism and resisting sin and temptation, and, well, a horror film about witches. Much of the tension around the film comes from the isolation the family is placed in and the struggles they have to make sure they have enough food while still keeping to their own values.
