The VVitch. 2015.

The Witch is a fascinating glimpse into Christianity as practiced by 17th century Puritans. Satan and Evil are almost tangible presences in the woods and wilderness. The film takes place in such a secluded location that it instantly gives you a feeling of loneliness and dread before it even unfolds its beautifully constructed storyline.

This is a horror that doesn't rely on jump scares, blood, guts being ripped out or a a total gore fest, it relies more on mood and atmosphere and decent acting from a small cast that take direction well especially from the young actors involved.

Having the film set in the 17th centuary makes it a ideal setting on small community where banishing of the members for many reasons sets the film up nicely where evil was mentioned alot with the elders. I will say the 4K release is a great with picture quality and i'm sure you can hear alot more that earlier releases or did i just become so emeresed in this that my hearing was playing tricks on me
