One of the most important series of 2020 has been ‘Lady’s Gambit’ on Netflix, which has made known to many people the talent of actress Anya Taylor-Joy, who had already more than shown what she was capable of in a good handful of movies, being chosen by M.Night Shyamalan for his sequels to ‘El protege’ (Unbreakable, 2000) for good reason. Now Netflix gives the opportunity to discover the film debut of the future furious (except for an unacredited cameo), the horror film ‘The witch’ (The Witch, 2015).
A film about which a lot has been written at the time and which has had all kinds of reception between critics and the public, which from an initial division has been confirming the important weight that its world premiere had in the future of fantastic horror cinema, thanks to his serious approach to the genre, in which you can see symptoms that witches, shock, gore and legend material was no longer something that critics would despise.
