This is a great film more a period piece than a horror though. Back when Winona could give a good performance haha.
It is a well done film showing the shocking lunacy and illogical thought of early american puritanical settlers. Amazing that America came into being the country it is today really. So if you are looking for an action packed witch burning horror this will not appease your appetite, but if you want a historical look into one of the worlds worst witch cases in history this is definitly a movie to watch.
BAsed on Arthur Miller's searing play about the historical Salem Witch Hunts where jealosy and narrowmindedness were inflamed into mass hysteria with neighbor turning against neighbor and friend against friend when accusations of witchcraft are raised in the puritanical settlement of Salem. The story is powerful and this is a strong adaptation with excellent performances.
i hate film. I hated the book also so maybe thats the problem and i cant really comment on the adaptation qualities of this feature. But the story of the book just sucks, ok you have the nice love story and devoted good guy who is willing to die for the cause but the annoying witchhunt aspects are just so unrelatable and irritating i couldnt look past them
