The film is adapted from real events. It took place 62 years before the famous Salem Witch Hunt (1630). The stories and character lines in the film are basically based on documentary records.
The film was almost entirely shot with visible light and natural light, and the entire film was shot for only 25 days.
According to the plan of the script, the goat Black Phillip in the film originally had more scenes. However, because the goat had not been trained, it was very difficult to make it perform, and many scenes were deleted.
The film was sponsored by the "Satanic Temple" (an organization that worships Satan and satirizes Satan at the same time).
The audition tape of the heroine Anja Taylor-Joy was the first audition video that director Robert Eggers saw, and she finally got the role.
In the film, the witch uses Enochian, which is called "angel language." It has appeared many times in the American dramas "Evil Force" and "Constantine", and there has been controversy about whether it is a man-made language.

Rather than a horror film, it should actually be classified as a literary film: the process of people driving people crazy? The wandering rise from patriarchy to feminism? Of course, it can also be a capitalized idiot. The eldest daughter and the witch who came out of the hut in the woods to eat the tender grass are so beautiful~ Also: The eldest baby is actually food poisoning and a cold in the rain. No steamed egg custard, no chicken soup and polenta, just read the Bible and put some If blood is useful, it is hell!

A true dark/goth/devil movie, all based on real folklore. There is no stereotypical frightening way in horror films, but it is more like a religious and ethical film about "how the devil defeated God".
