And nothing improves when Thomasin and her younger brother, stalwart and principled Caleb (played by a soulful young actor with a whale of a New England name, Harvey Scrimshaw), venture there. But he’s wrong-the crops ultimately fail-and an even more horrible fate befalls the group shortly after they set up their homestead: The glowing, robust babe to whom mother Katherine (Kate Dickie) has recently given birth is mysteriously snatched away, under Thomasin’s watch.įrom there, the strange and terrible events mount, and it’s clear (to us, at least) that the source of all these scourges is someone-or something-lurking in the eerily silent gray-green forest that borders the family’s property. The father, William (Ralph Ineson), apparently has some religious notions too rigid even for the local Puritans, so he gathers his tight-knit, ultra-pious brood and heads for more remote territory, optimistically planting crops that he’s sure will sustain his family. Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy, a waifish blond with the look of a faerie child fresh off the lily pad) is the eldest daughter in a family of five that has recently been banished from their plantation.
