La cage: L'histoire de la Corriveau (2016)This documentary tells the story of the Corriveau, which was hanged in Quebec City in 1763 for murder, and whose corpse was exhibited in an iron cage for close to 40 days.

Häxan (1922)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. But the film itself is far from serious-- instead it's a witches' brew of the scary, gross, and darkly humorous.

Legend of the Witches (1970)A visual exploration into the origins of witchcraft in the UK and in particular the demystification of symbolism still embedded today within many modern religious artefacts and rituals. X-rated upon its original release, this documentary looks in detail at previously hidden magic rites and rituals. Sharing the secrets of initiation into a coven, divination through animal sacrifice, ritual scrying, the casting of a 'death spell', and the chilling intimacy of a Black Mass.

En su hogar la vemos recibir a pacientes que buscan sanar fulminantes enfermedades de origen oscuro. Entre exorcismos, desentierros y momentos cotidianos, se revela un universo en donde existe un complejo y fascinante equilibrio entre fuerzas aparentemente incompatibles; un contraste surreal entre lo mágico y lo mundano.

The Witch (2016)In 1630, a farmer relocates his family to a remote plot of land on the edge of a forest where strange, unsettling things happen. With suspicion and paranoia mounting, each family member's faith, loyalty and love are tested in shocking ways.

Blair Witch (1999)In October 1994, three university filmmakers entered a dense Maryland forest to shoot a documentary on a dark urban legend. None of them ever returned. Twelve months later, footage recovered from the area exposed the terrifying spiral of paranoia and dread that preceded their mysterious disappearance.
