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.

This movie was a huge letdown. It had so much potential, and I'm usually a fan of slow burns. However, with every twist and turn, I kept expecting something significant to happen, but it never did. It had so many promising tropes, but the final product was severely lacking. The acting, filming, and soundtrack were all excellent, but the storyline was a major disappointment. I can understand how some people might enjoy it if they aren't familiar with films like "Midsommar," but this movie was not good. Well-executed in terms of production, but the storyline was horrible. I'm so disappointed.
Right up my alley.
not bad, more please
Snoozefest
A beautiful look into a troubled mind.. It is definitely a bit of a slow burner, but even so I found this movie very, very captivating. Beaitiful cinematography, impeccable acting. 5 Skulls and 2 Brains from me.
