This is a public domain film, silent movie made in 1922
The writer and director Benjamin Christensen discloses a historical view of the witches through the seven parts of this silent movie.
First, there is a slide-show alternating inter-titles with drawings and paintings to illustrate the behavior of pagan cultures in the Middle Ages regarding their vision of demons and witches. Then there is a dramatization of the situation of the witches in the Middle Ages, with the witchcraft and the witch-hunts.
