“Fascinating pioneering horror” (Mountain XPress)

“a truly unique work that still holds the power to unnerve…deserves a more prominent place in the history books.” (Q Network)

“an attention-grabbing and unique part of film history” (Movie Martyr)

“magnificent…the film stands as a fascinating historical document” (RogerEbert.com)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

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.
