No real acting, more like a documentary. Everybody plays a role, nobody is really present. Found it boring, more like ZDF Terra X than a real movie. No surprises. Some nudity doesn't improve the piece. However, if you know nothing about that time, there will be some educational insights.

The witch hunt or the period where (mostly) women where hunted and killed off because they were considered to be witches, is a very dark part of human history. The movie was made for TV so you have to put that in consideration. Still the German acting talent they got for this, is pretty decent.But what really gets you, is the story itself. The injustice, the craziness and the stupidity by many involved. It's tough to watch, but it's very well made. You will know where this is heading more or less, even if you're not aware of history (some things are obviously heightened for show/effect/movie logic). Give it a chance if you're interested in what it has to say
