A groundbreaking blend of documentary and dramatization, Häxan explores the history of witchcraft, demonology, and superstition from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Combining silent-era horror imagery, occult rituals, and surreal visual storytelling, it remains a cult classic and one of the most influential Scandinavian films in horror history.

A series of eerie vignettes depict images of sorcery and evil on screen, from representations of occultism and religious hypocrisy to a chilling witch hunt in the Middle Ages. Directed by and starring Benjamin Christensen as the Devil, Häxan mixes documentary and fiction forms to create an unsettling brew that prefigures everything from Gothic horror to the found footage film. This legendary horror film was released in numerous edits and this edition collects four such versions of the film for the first time in the UK, including a 2K restoration by the original production company Svensk Filmindustri.
