Suspiria (2018)

An American ballet student enrolls in a prestigious Berlin dance academy. There's just one minor caveat — the institution is run by a coven of witches. The 2018 remake of Dario Argento's 1977 supernatural masterpiece stars Dakota Johnson and Tilda Swinton in three separate roles. Like we said, witchcraft! (Amazon Prime)

The Witch

POV: you're a teenage girl living on the edge of the New England woods with your God-fearing family and sinister black ram in the 1630s, and you're all being terrorized by a malevolent witch. (Hulu, Amazon Prime)

Kiki's Delivery Service

Not all witchy films are about gruesome deaths and sinister occultism. Take Kiki's Delivery Service, the very touching and impossibly cute Hayao Miyazaki film about the innate power of purpose and confidence. (HBO Max)

Warner Bros
The Witches of Eastwick

The Witches of Eastwick casting directors were probably like, "What if we made one of the most iconic casts in film history?" Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer are the titular witches! Jack Nicholson is the devil himself! What more could you possibly want?
