"But isn’t superstition still rampant among us?"
Grave robbing, torture, possessed nuns, and a satanic Sabbath: Benjamin Christensen's legendary film uses a series of dramatic vignettes to explore the scientific hypothesis that the witches of the Middle Ages suffered the same hysteria as turn-of-the-century psychiatric patients.

Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.

Teenagers in a small town are dropping like flies, apparently in the grip of mass hysteria causing their suicides.
