Witchhammer
“Anyone who stands up for heretics is considered a heretic himself!”
DramaThriller
In the 1600s, an overzealous clergy hauls innocent women in front of tribunals, forces them to confess to imaginary witchery, and engages in brutal torture and persecution of their subjects.
VIBE
A chillingly bleak descent into historical religious fervor. It’s a grim, oppressive experience that showcases the horrors of persecution with unflinching realism. Expect a heavy, unsettling watch that lingers long after the credits roll.
