Hereditary currently dominates The Witch 75–25
The Grahams bury the Puritans — Aster's domestic devastation wins going away.
The Verdict Neck and Neck
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.
