Hereditary currently dominates The Witch 75–25
The Grahams bury the Puritans — Aster's domestic devastation wins going away.
Who do you think should win?
The Verdict
Collette's arc from grief to rage to possession is something The Witch's ensemble approach can't match in sheer force. Taylor-Joy's Thomasin is compelling — the final scene genuinely haunts — but Aster built an entire demolition around a single family and a single performance, and the concentration produces an impact Eggers' wider canvas doesn't reach. The Witch distributes its dread. Hereditary concentrates it. Concentration overwhelms distribution by a distance that suggests the audience wants horror that feels like a personal attack rather than historical documentation. Aster put you in the Graham house and locked the attic. Eggers put you in the Puritan woods and left the path unmarked.
