4) The Witch

The Witch is a chilling portrayal of paranoia and religious fanaticism, set in 1630s New England and directed by Robert Eggers. The film is about a Puritan family exposed to supernatural forces once they leave their community. Anya Taylor-Joy gives a haunting performance as Thomasin, the eldest daughter, whose frustration and torment build throughout the story. Eggers' love for historical detail and cinematic atmospherics creates this dread that permeates the movie.
