Häxan (1929) on Netflix

Part history lesson followed by re-enactments with actors, this film depicts the history of witchcraft from its earliest days through to the present day (in this case,1922 or thereabouts). The result is a documentary-like film that must be among the first to use re-enactments as a visual and narrative tool. From pagan worship to satanic rites to hysteria, the film takes you on a journey through the ages with highly effective visual sequences. —garykmcdwitchcraftmisogynywitchmiddle agesdevil79 morePlot summaryAdd synopsisTaglinesBenjamin Christensens stora film.GenresDocumentaryFantasyHistoryHorrorCertificateNot RatedParents guide
