Ricardo d Um filme estilo A Bruxa. Lento, detalhista, sutil e chocante. Ainda mais se analisarmos que este terror é real, e aconteceu e talvez até ainda aconteça nos dias de hoje. A atuação da protagonista é muito boa e é o que mantém o time do filme. Sua cena de confissão é emocionante. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Courtney K interestinggggggggggg... to be honest, besides a few shocking scenes i wasn't expecting, this was a little slow/boring. after reading a few other's reviews I obviously missed the whole point of the film; I wasn't aware this was supposedly based on true events/etc. & after learning what the point of it all was, I gained a newfound appreciation for it. a super intriguing premise that was actually executed pretty well. overall i'd recommend it - i'd also recommend not starting to multitask partway through when you don't speak German, lol. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Maxi S One of the best to have ever been put out. Its atmospherically welldone enough to keep you going and guessing while it drags....and then blows up in your face like a ted mail. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Cyns Corner 3.75 STARS - This is worth watching for the main actress's performance alone. She did a great job here, capturing the essence of the character in such a way that you truly sympathize with her plight, though you are horrified with what she feels driven to do once she is in "The Devil's Bath." I had no idea about the true events/practice this movie was based on so there were some things that confused and annoyed me initially. Once I realized what was happening, my perception about the film changed, especially after reading further into the facts this story was based on. Part of me thinks that if I'd known about these events before watching the movie, I probably wouldn't have taken the time to check it out. Especially since it's not your typical "horror" flick (though the events here are truly horrific). But I'm not sorry to have seen it, and in the end my only real complaint is that at two hours long, there were moments where this dragged more than it needed to. However, that's not really enough to keep me from recommending The Devil's Bath.

It is not a horror though it is a historical drama. Definitely a must watch, one of the best movies this year too. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Hard to believe this is the same 18th century Austria where just a few hundred miles away a powdered wig, golden frock-wearing Mozart was sipping champagne and playing piano for the Archbishop of Salzburg in a guilded palace. No, this is a true story of the everyday hardscrabble lives of the "low folk/peasants" in villages and countryside. Poverty, plight, desperation, suffocating expectations and Christian zealotry mixed over the millenia with pagan influences bringing horrifying consequences. An examination of repressed sexuality (her husband Wolf), depression, archaic religious doctrine, superstitions, misunderstandings of mental illness and age old oppression come to desperate and unforgettable acts and a shocking finale. This was a hard suffocating watch and I am writing this days after viewing it because the film, the message and many of the scenes are still on my mind. It is acted wonderfully and beautifully shot and dripping with atmosphere. This is a slow burn...a movie that is meant to creep on you, make you think and feel. A movie for Cinephiles...it is not an action thriller or Rom Com or super hero movie, it is horrific but not a a horror movie... it is not meant to entertain you...there is no comedy or joy here...it is cerebral and harsh, bleak and mean. I don't know if I will (or ever want to) view this again but I am glad I did the once and it has stayed with me, for better or worse, since.
