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!
