Join us in the Great Hall for another film. At Newcastle Castle, we are raising awareness of the 1650 Witch Trails which claimed the lives of 16 people. We are showing The VVitch (2015) to explore the theme of witch hysteria that consumed many communities.
The Witch is a folk horror film written and directed by Robert Eggers in his feature directorial debut. It stars Anya Taylor-Joy in her film debut, alongside Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie, Harvey Scrimshaw, Ellie Grainger, and Lucas Dawson. Set in 1630s New England, its plot follows a Puritan family who encounter forces of evil in the woods beyond their farm.
