So... We know you were expecting this to be an amazing Aahfter Horror review on 'Beau is Afraid'. Well, due to unforeseen technical issues (the issue being, trusting Paul with the recording), the episode has been lost. Yep, Gone!

As not to disappoint our adoring fan, we have released the next episode to make up for it.

Released in 2015 and directed by Robert Eggers, "The Witch" is a chilling and atmospheric horror film that transports viewers to 17th-century New England. The story revolves around a Puritan family who is banished from their plantation and builds a new life on the edge of a dense, ominous forest. As the family settles into their isolated homestead, mysterious and malevolent forces begin to torment them. The film delves into themes of religious paranoia, family dynamics, and the supernatural, creating a brooding and unsettling atmosphere that sets it apart from conventional horror fare. Anya Taylor-Joy delivers a standout performance as Thomasin, the eldest daughter, who becomes the focal point of suspicion as the family grapples with an escalating sense of dread.

"The Witch" is celebrated for its meticulous attention to historical detail, both in its language and visual presentation. Eggers crafts a film that is more than just a horror story; it's a period piece that immerses audiences in the harsh realities of colonial life, blending authentic dialogue from the 1600s with haunting cinematography. The film employs slow-building tension and psychological horror, relying on atmosphere and a sense of impending doom rather than jump scares. "The Witch" garnered critical acclaim for its unique approach to horror and its ability to evoke a deep sense of unease, solidifying its status as a modern classic in the genre.
