Director Statement

“The Witch” drew us in with its quiet horror — the idea that evil can appear without warning, in the most ordinary places. This film is about those unsettling moments when innocence collides with something dark and unexplainable. We wanted to trap the audience in that confined train car, slowly tightening the tension through subtle shifts in tone and perspective. It’s a simple story, but one that lingers, reminding us how quickly the familiar can turn sinister.
