Yeah, it's been a few weeks in part because I wasn't looking forward to this one
I mean it wasn't the worst movie I've seen but some sort of quasi-educational documentary on witches and how they were probably people with hysteria isn't gonna be a popcorn clutching extravaganza.
I could imagine in the 1920's, the imagery, grotesqueness of the figures, and the experience of seeing the dark ages on the screen made it somewhat more entertaining than watching paint dry.
Having said that, it does try very hard to paint a sympathetic portrait of these women, many old, possibly with a disfigurement or something that made them stand out - many poor, and what they were forced to endure.
Might be interesting to watch with the commentary but another time I think
