    Are we supposed to take this film literally? Yes, there was a witch in the forest. Yes, Black Phillip the goat was indeed Satan. Yes, Thomasin is enticed to become a witch in the end.

    Or is this supposed to be treated as an allegory? That there was no witch, no Satan. That the family's (particularly the mom and dad) devotion to a sick version of Christianity, combined with hunger (and possible fungal infection from the crops) and bleak circumstances led to a murderous hysteria? That they killed each other?

    I'm inclined to view this as a straight-up witch/horror movie, but I'm not completely sure.

    What do you think?
