Robert Eggers’ brilliant, slow-burning debut The Witch thrived on atmospheric perfection—it’s one of the many elements of the film that truly stands out, allowing the narrative to crawl under the skin and stay there. With a disorienting score blaring in the background, the film finds unnerving horror through subtlety as a constant sense of evil looms in every shadow–shadows that belong to Black Phillip, who is the focal point (as he should be) of Aaron Horkey’s haunting piece.
The amount of detail in Horkey’s poster is unreal, capturing Black Phillip’s unwavering stare as a final hand reaches out to touch him. And it’s that orange glow of a withered forest that really brings the print to life, a perfect illustration of Eggers’ classic.

This poster is brilliant – the symbolism, the style… it lets you know exactly what you’re in for.
Your post has gotten me thinking about movie posters in general, and that would make for some interesting research.
I hope December is treating you well!
Thanks, glad you liked this one as much as I me! I’ve been collecting posters for a few years now, mostly from Mondo, because they’re just so damn cool. Happy Holidays!
Now this what you call an artistic poster.
There’s so much detail in it! It’s kinda ridiculous actually.
It’s amazingly detailed to say the least, I admire work like this.
You should google the rest of his artwork, it’ll blow your mind. Dude is unbelievably talented.
That’s high on my agenda.
Damn dude you’ve got we wanting to watch this again, for a fifth time!! Atmospheric perfection indeed!!! Much like Under The Skin
Damn, 5 times?! I need to give it another watch, it’s one of those movies that reveals more layers the more you watch it.
Just had a closer look at that poster. Wow man. I want that as a background for my desktop!!! If only it was the right shape
You could make it a background on your phone! It’s perfect for that 🙂
Perfect! I didn’t think of that ;D
