Storyline
In the 17th century, a man named William is excommunicated from a Puritan Christian plantation in New England alongside his family — wife Katherine, daughter Thomasin, son Caleb, and fraternal twins Mercy and Jonas — due to the crime of “prideful conceit." The family is exiled and builds a farm by a large forest. After several months, Katherine gives birth to her fifth child, Samuel. One day, while Thomasin is playing with Samuel, the baby vanishes. A witch in the woods is revealed to have stolen the baby, after which she kills him and uses his blood and fat to make a flying ointment, which she rubs over herself.[4]
Katherine is devastated by Samuel's disappearance and spends her days crying and praying to God. While hunting for food, Caleb confronts his father about the fate of his unbaptized brother's soul while William reveals that he traded Katherine's silver cup for hunting supplies. Back on the farm, the twins play with the family's black goat named Black Phillip who they claim speaks to them. That night, Katherine reveals that she blames Thomasin for Samuel's disappearance.
