Häxan can justifiably be considered the world's first cult movie. It's about the history of witchcraft, told in a variety of styles, from illustrated slideshow to dramatised events of alleged real-life events, right up to the early twentieth century.

Beginning in a sedate fashion with a series of woodcuts and engravings, the film then shifts into gear with a progression of dramatic vignettes, illustrating the awesome power of witchcraft in the Middle Ages. Told in seven parts, we are given a brief tour of the origins of witchcraft, then follow a more recent persecution, trial, and condemnation of a supposed Scandinavian witch.

To 'decent folks' it was the most morbid and perverse film ever made, while others hailed it as a sober and scientific yet thoroughly human document.

《女巫们》可以被认为是世界上第一部cult电影。它讲述了巫术的历史，叙述方式多种多样，既有说明性图片，也有戏剧化表演，还有半真半假的生活事件，一直讲述到二十世纪早期。

电影以严谨风格开始，开头是一系列木刻和雕塑，其后是一些戏剧小品，展现了中世纪时期巫术令人敬畏的权势。电影分为七个部分，简述了巫术的起源，以及 更晚近的迫害、审讯，还有斯堪的纳维亚一个被怀疑为女巫的人的定罪过程。

对于那些“正派人士”，这是有史以来最病态最邪恶的电影，而其他人则对它赞赏有加，因为它认真、科学，完全是富有人性的纪录资料。
