Robert Eggers' THE VVITCH : A NEW ENGLAND FOLK TALE (2015)

Bad parenting, ahoy! You didn't think
That only happens now, did you? A dad
Need not be violent, and needn't drink
To wreck a fam'ly's life. Then, too, a bad
Mom helps, especially when a big black goat,
With Chekov's giant horns, is also there. 
In truest ay-two-four style, you can vote:
Is this for "real" or did they all just share
Some ergot-madness? Too, it's well-conveyed
How ev'rything must stink, as well as why
(Yes, fetch the water downstream from the maid
Who's washing goat-shit from some clothes, oh aye!).
I'd like to see this done in black and white.
Such ambiguity might up the fright...
