País Vasco, 1609. Los hombres de la región se han ido a la mar. Ana participa en una fiesta en el bosque con otras chicas de la aldea. El juez Rostegui, encomendado por el Rey para purificar la región, las arresta y acusa de brujería. Decide hacer lo necesario para que confiesen lo que saben sobre el akelarre, ceremonia mágica durante la cual supuestamente el Diablo inicia a sus servidoras y se aparea con ellas.

Perfectly eerie, deeply medieval, and raw—exactly what you'd expect from a film set in 1609 about Basque witches. The atmosphere is spot-on, immersing you completely in that time and place. I was pleasantly surprised, especially considering its ratings. If this film hadn’t been distributed by Netflix and was instead positioned as an indie piece for film festivals, I think it would have been received very differently. But then again, it might not have reached nearly as many viewers.

I'm very satisfied. A raw spectacle, bleak, with the occasional light of hope, which, of course, likes to be extinguished... Most of the film actually takes place in two rooms, thanks to which the actresses and actors get a proper chance to show off what they can do, and they certainly don't waste that chance. It's not as intense as The Witch, but probably nothing ever will be. The ending might surprise some, or maybe not, but it fits 100%.

The Spanish journey into the seventeenth century was a delight, reaffirming the notion that a judge/inquisitor/prosecutor armed with unwavering logic and steadfast beliefs can achieve their goals under any regime.
