"The Witch" is based on books and documents, and adopts the method of recording + plot interpretation, director's explanation + role playing, and plot reduction. The method of speaking and acting gives the record the fun of a drama, and the director can add detailed explanations in the interpretation of the story, which makes it easy for the audience to enter the drama. Due to religious reasons, the film was banned by Sweden and other European countries at the time. It was not until 1929 that...

A pseudo-documentary with popular science significance, it still looks bold and cult today, and the special effects are actually well done. There is a sense of fantasy and absurdity in the cruelty; All kinds of torture are present, making people shudder.

In addition to allowing the imagination in the brain to be presented to the audience in an overlapping manner on the screen, there are even fast-reversed...

Frequently evoking paintings by Bosch, Häxan conveys a sense of dark emotion let loose on a...

Title Card: Poor little hysterical witch! In the middle ages you were in conflict with the church. Now it is with the law.
-
Title Card: Centuries have passed and the Almighty of medieval times no longer sits in his tenth sphere.
Title Card: We no longer sit in church staring terrified at the frescoes of the devils.
Title Card: The witch no longer flies away on her broom over the rooftops.
Title Card: But isn't superstition still rampant among us?
Title Card: Is there an obvious difference between the sorceress and her customer then and now?
Title Card: We no longer burn our old and poor. But do they not often suffer bitterly?
Title Card: And the little woman, whom we call hysterical, alone and unhappy, isn't she still a riddle for us?
Title Card: Nowadays we detain the unhappy in a mental institution or - if she is wealthy - in a modern clinic.
Title Card: And then we will console ourselves with the notion that the mildly temperate shower of the clinic has replaced the barbaric methods of medieval times.
