In the aftermath of the Great Plague and amidst the subsequent witch-hunts against women, a young widow grapples with the tragic death of her husband in a society completely consumed by fear and death. Because she rejects the advances of her landlord, she is falsely accused of being a witch and thrown in jail for a crime she didn’t commit. She must endure physical persecution at the hands of England’s most ruthless witch-hunter and face her own inner demons as the devil himself starts to work his way into her mind.

Has its moments but didn't quite do it for me, especially with some of the cheesier moments (when our main character hallucinates the demon or devil), and the musical cues of Sean Pertee's religious judgeship is way over-the-top. But I did like Charlotte Kirk in the lead, even though for basically the entire movie her hair and makeup looked excellent, and some of the direction by Neil Marshall was okay. Could have been way better. **3.0/5**
