Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })HäxanTranslation "The Witch" (international title: Witchcraft Through the Ages), directed by Benjamin Christensen, is a 1922 Swedish/Danish movie often noted as either one of the first modern documentaries, an early horror movie, or one of the first exploitation films.Ostensibly, it's a serious look at mediaeval superstition and the horrific consequences thereof, and how we're not so very different today. It achieves this by showing etchings from mediaeval works about witchcraft, pictures of torture implements, and dramatised scenes of sorcery, black masses, inquisitions, and modern psychiatry, featuring plenty of Gorn and Fanservice.The film is in the public domain and can be viewed online.

Cross-Cultural Kerfluffle: The ending title card to this deadly serious docudrama. Amusingly, the Swedish for "The End" is "Slut".

Enfant Terrible: The supposed witch confesses (under torture, so it might not be true) to giving birth to the children of the devil. This is shown, complete with either little people or children wearing freaky devil costumes.

Fan Disservice: A surprising amount of nudity by older women and fat men being tortured or dressed up like demons.
