Overview

In the aftermath of the Great Plague and amidst the subsequent witch-hunts against women, a young widow grapples with the tragic death of her husband in a society completely consumed by fear and death. Because she rejects the advances of her landlord, she is falsely accused of being a witch and thrown in jail for a crime she didn’t commit. She must endure physical persecution at the hands of England’s most ruthless witch-hunter and face her own inner demons as the devil himself starts to work his way into her mind.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A visceral descent into horror as a grieving widow is trapped by institutional cruelty and psychological torment in a plague-ravaged society. The line between witch-hunter brutality and supernatural evil blurs until it's unclear what's real and what's the breaking mind of a woman pushed to the edge.
