Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2016)

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
this movie is not analyzing or even trying to discuss the authenticity of witchcraft old legends , it just introduces those legends as they are, the version that lies inside the consciousness of each one of us , the story as being told to all of us for centuries ,
a family punished and cast away from their community facing isolation and loneliness as well as tough life conditions , above all they have to face their own demons and a terrible twist in their religious beliefs leaving them vulnerable to all kinds of evil , they are convinced that they are abandoned by people and god as well , they believe that god is so hard to satisfy , in fact , they do project their deepest feelings of anger and rage from that community that deserted them on their relationship with god , and that one got me , in one way or another aren't we all as vulnerable as those helpless , poor 17-century peasants ?
