Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jacobean witch panic films are having a moment—this joins a lineage from Witchfinder General to The Witch, but centers female agency rather than male persecution.
The film's 85-minute runtime is deliberate: Finnis wanted no escape from the compression of dread, mirroring how accusations spiraled rapidly in real witch trials.
