Häxan (1922): Movie Review from the Ray Taylor Show

From the medieval era's foreboding shadow to the misconceptions of the 20th century, "Häxan" draws on Christensen's extensive research, particularly from the Malleus Maleficarum, to unravel the disturbing possibility that many witch hunts might have arisen from profound misunderstandings of mental or neurological conditions.
