    Putting this one on in the background the next Halloween party I throw. God tier hags in this one. There’s actually some solid performances and mixed animation for the 1920s. Conceptually its story is quite simple but for a silent film these performances convey a lot. Definitely some cohesion issues where it switches between its tale and documentary style explanations of its subject matter. Forgivable with how pioneering it is. Beyond cultural significance, Häxan is thoroughly entertaining.

    The hysteria amongst people and the fervor they will use to explain the often unexplainable is powerful, and they don't shy away from the unpleasantness of Fear and Ignorance. It really shows the Atrocities in the name of the church the Catholics were willing to use to spread fear amongst the uneducated masses for control over even their thoughts, not just their physical bodies.

    How do you combine a documentary, a historical drama, a horror film, and a social message about a very important issue all the same time, and still make it all work? I don’t know but the writer of this film sure does!

    Mildly interesting from a film history perspective. I imagine this was quite outrageous back in the 1920's. Now it's only interesting for it's historical value.
