🎬 The Witch: Blood Moon (2025) – Movie Review
Starring: Anya Taylor-Joy, Bill Skarsgård, Mia Goth
Genre: Supernatural Horror, Psychological Thriller
The curse returns under a crimson sky. The Witch: Blood Moon (2025) marks a chilling new chapter in the folklore-inspired horror saga—elevating the terror to terrifying new heights and plunging audiences into a blood-soaked nightmare that blurs myth and madness.
Set a century after the events of the original, this standalone sequel follows Elspeth (Anya Taylor-Joy), a young healer exiled to the edge of a dark forest where the blood moon rises only once every generation. When villagers begin to disappear and strange symbols appear carved into the trees, the ancient whispers of witchcraft return—with vengeance.
Bill Skarsgård plays a mysterious wanderer whose arrival coincides with the unholy lunar event, and Mia Goth portrays a tormented seer bound to the forest’s secrets. As the blood moon ascends, reality distorts, dreams bleed into waking life, and the boundary between the living and the damned vanishes.
Director Esme Laurens crafts a haunting visual feast—candlelit rituals, shadowy woods, and spectral figures cloaked in red fog. The score pulses with primal dread, while silence is used masterfully to choke the audience with unease.
What makes Blood Moon truly terrifying isn’t just the witchcraft—it’s the isolation, the paranoia, and the slow realization that fate might be carved into the blood of generations. The horror is both physical and existential.
Atmospheric, poetic, and utterly terrifying, The Witch: Blood Moon is a mesmerizing descent into ancestral fear. It proves that evil never dies—it waits, and under the blood moon, it awakens.
