a timeless documentary! it was fun to watch even if the movie was a little bone chilling at times. and i learned that "the end" in swedish is slut lol

The eyes of the silent screen implore! Had put it on the list for the promise of 1920's ghoulies and ghastlies. Did not anticipate what is really a dark, humorous, earnest kind of ... docu-phantasmagoric(?) attack on the inquisition from "learned men" across the brutal expanse of so-called civilization. The horror of humanity's perpetual witchhunt is on full display, filled to brimming with memorable imagery and those eyes, always those eyes, in a quaint matter-of-factly presentation that belies its depth.

This was pretty interesting, but the only thing I could think of was that one scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where they try to accuse a woman of being a witch; “if she weighs the same as a duck, she’s made of wood. And therefore? A witch!”

Night 17 of 31 Nights of Halloween Häxan presents itself as a documentary, which is a very interesting thing to see, as this clearly does show what the director belives to be true, rather than a comprehensive examination of the art of witchcraft. Nonetheless, this is a stunning film, offering some truly horrifying imagery, as well as an atmosphere that will put anyone in the mood on conjure some spirits.

a mix of surreal and spooky vignettes and commentary on how men in power treated, and still treated women, especially those who are mentally ill, poorly. ahead of its time in a lot of ways!

HORRORx52(026) (https://letterboxd.com/allbeef/list/horrorx52026/) #40 of 52 | Watch a documentary horror (https://letterboxd.com/films/popular/genre/documentary+horror/) film. While brilliantly crafted and undoubtedly ahead of its time, I wish they had focused more on the documentary aspect of witchcraft history.

It's wild to me that this is from 1922. Ahead of its devil-ass-kissing time, looking into the birth of witchcraft and the devil as this sloppy sultry nightcrawler with cartoon chesthairs and YASSSY press-ons, or basically, the origin story of HIM (his infernal majesty).
