Older film clips of pagan fears and visions cultivated by the Christian society. A little dry, but ok with a friend and some wine.

I love the fact that it is one of the first cult films.

Somehow I managed to miss seeing 'Hexan-Witchcraft Through the Ages' for all these years but I'm glad I spent the extra few dollars for the Criterion version to finally view it. This is a truly strange little film - particularly so for the silent era in which it was first produced. The Swedish director did a great job of mixing period artwork and live action recreations of various aspects of the fantastic lore of witches and the brutal realities of the medieval witch hunts. Many of the images presented are startling & creepy even by modern standards. Criterion presents 2 versions of the film - the original (1920's) silent film with title cards and some effective color tinting to the B&W film, and the later 1960's re-release w/ a voice over track and 'hip' musical score. Any film lover of the fantastic cinema should find this very enjoyable!Vollständige Rezension lesen

Criterion goes the extra mile here. Both the 1922 and the 1968 version are on this dvd and the picture couldn't be clearer. The bonus features are a nice touch as well. For 1922, the special effects are phenomenal and several scenes are just plain creepy. An absolutely brilliant film! Don't miss this one!
