The Witch

The Witch follows Julia Barlow, who loses her job and apartment and returns to Pemberton, her family's seventeenth-century estate in rural Massachusetts. She says she is there to check on her ageing grandmother, but she also hopes to disappear into the old house. Instead, Pemberton unsettles her: a grandfather clock stops at 3:41 a.m., lights flicker, and a voice cries for help outside her bedroom door. As Julia explores the house's dark history, she learns about a woman executed for witchcraft in 1692 and uncovers family lies connected to women who will not remain quiet.
