Yeah, it’s more a historical film about the circumstances which might have led to the creation of a “witch”, rather than a horror film about a witch. There is some ambiguity as to who the title is referencing and whether any of the supernatural events are actually unfolding in the way our unreliable cast believes.
I am not a big fan of the horror genre but I absolutely love what directors like Eggers and Flanagan are doing with it. Sort of making films and series about other things, that just happen to have a horror twist to them.
