Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages
Demonic possession, inquisitional , ritual orgies, and fair maidens losing their virginity to the Devil -- All these are featured in Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages, a one-of-a-kind "documentary" just as shocking today as it was in 1922. Its genesis began in 1919, when Benjamin Christensen, a filmmaker often referred to as the "D.W. Griffith of Denmark", discovered the Malleus Malefic arum, a 15th century manual on capturing witches, in a bookstore. Convinced that witches still existed, the director set out to expose their persecution from medieval times to the present day.
