The Devil's Bath
Directed by Veronika Franz, Severin Fiala
In 1750 Austria, a deeply religious woman named Agnes has just married her beloved, but her mind and heart soon grow heavy as her life becomes a long list of chores and expectations. Day after day, she is increasingly trapped in a murky and lonely path leading to evil thoughts, until the possibility of committing a shocking act of violence seems like the only way out of her inner prison. Giving a voice to the invisible and unheard women of the rural past, THE DEVIL’S BATH is based on historical court records about a shocking, hitherto unexplored chapter of European history.
From the directors of Goodnight Mommy, comes a chilling psychological descent into the rural past.
Cast: Anja Plaschg, David Scheid, Maria Hofstätter, Natalija Baranova, Camilla Schielin, Lorenz Tröbinger, Claudia Martini, Agnes Lampl, Lukas Walcher, Reinhold Felsinger, Elias Schützenhofer

This is not horror.
excellent acting and cinematography. A few jarring violent scenes and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed.
Please Shudder, post something before a movie that contains real animal cruelty, animal killing or anything within the lines or real animal sacrifice. It should be the viewers' choice to watch or not but exposure without warning is not ok. This movies is not great anyway, bad pace, no real surprises and just a paper thin plot.
oof.
10/10, I have never teared up when watching horror, so this is a first for me.
