‘The Witch’, Explained. She played us like she played Baek. The Devil presents himself as a young handsome boy only once when Thomasin demands to see the malicious entity that has claimed the lives of her family members.After Black Phillip promises Thomasin of a “delicious” future she had always longed for, she “deals with the Devil” by selling her soul to him, then undresses (this implies that she has submitted to her sexual desires as well) and walks with him (him in the goat form again), deep into the woods, towards an ongoing Witches’ Sabbath. That happens in this movie, too. The Subversion; Theatrical poster. As the title states, The Witch is a part one, and while it delivers a highly satisfying whole its ending suggests a lot more fun to come.
