Horror movies are great. Loved by cinephiles and casual movie fans alike, there is some almost primal about being so scared by the images and sounds a film can present that you literally need to cover your eyes and ears. Or, even worse, are forced to do that awful (sometimes embarrassing) jump-out-of-your-seat move all movie goers are also familiar with. But, for all the amazing entertainment value that horror movies provide, they can be a bit formulaic. Whether its Jason XXIII, or Alien Vs. Whatever, it seems the industry sometimes recycles tried-and-true tropes they know will do solidly at the box office, before taking a risk on seriously ambitious, completely new content.

However, a new trailer for the film The Witch, shows that this is one movie that is as original as anything the genre has seen in years. Debuting widely in 2016, the film is said to have left audiences at Sundance and other film festivals literally speechless. Will this be the next horror film to join the ranks of The Exorcist and others as one of the best of all time? We shall see. Check out the trailer below, which (spoiler alert) doesn’t really contain any cheap jump-scares, making the whole thing seem even more promising in our minds.
