Peek-a-boo – It’s the new trailer for The Witch

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Don’t expect to get too much out of the latest trailer for THE WITCH, except a general feeling of uneasiness and discomfort. A24 is playing this one very close to the vest, using strange imagery and an overall tone that something isn’t quite right in order to sell the film.

It works for me, given all the praise I’ve heard heaped on the film since it took last year’s Sundance Film Festival by storm, but will it play well for the mainstream who typically like to know exactly what they’re going to get out of a movie served up on a silver platter before they purchase their tickets?

We’ll find out soon enough as THE WITCH seeks to haunt theaters on February 19.
