Häxan (1922) — Also released as Witchcraft Through the Ages, a Swedish–Danish silent by Benjamin Christensen that mixes documentary-style lecture with dramatized vignettes . In seven chapters it surveys medieval superstition and witchcraft (drawing on the Malleus Maleficarum), then argues that what was once called demonic possession often matches modern diagnoses of hysteria/mental illness . Expect lurid set-pieces—sabbaths, demons, torture, and a satanic rite—alongside Christensen himself playing the Devil .
