A Danish film with subtitles, could I be bothered? I started to watch and quite simply, couldn't take my eyes off the screen. There was a haunting atmosphere from first frame to last with classy, highly charged, emotional acting performances from all. What a joy to see a film about Witchcraft with no gimmicks. The pyre scene was brilliantly done with no punches pulled, truly frightening. The storm scene was also very well done, you could almost feel the wind ripping through you. But the acting was sublime, Anne's change from God fearing priests wife to an on-heat temptress verging on the Siren was wonderful. So was she really a witch or did her lover come when called as they were both filled with desire? Did Anne kill her husband by wishing him dead or did the shock of finding he was having an affair with his son finish him off? Do you believe in witchcraft? Watch this brilliantly produced movie and decide for yourself.
