Haxan Witch Blu-ray 1922 Witchcraft Through the Ages Radiance Häxan Gothic

The beginning of Gothic horror and the 'found footage' film! Presenting Radiance Film's 2-Disc Limited Edition Blu-ray for 1922's Häxan. This legendary horror film was released in numerous edits and this edition collects four such versions of the film for the first time in the UK, including a 2K restoration by the original production company Svensk Filmindustri. A series of eerie vignettes depict images of sorcery and evil on screen, from representations of occultism and religious hypocrisy to a chilling witch hunt in the Middle Ages. Directed by and starring Benjamin Christensen as the Devil, Häxan mixes documentary and fiction forms to create an unsettling brew that prefigures everything from Gothic horror to the found footage film.
