Great film. Anyone agree?


I once praised this movie, only to be told to my face I must be easily impressed. What the hell? I think this film was terrifying and did the work justice. I wish they would do an adaptation of Goodman Brown.

It's an excellent film, and it was a terrifying film. The ideals and thoughts of those times are almost morbid to me. They were truly narrow-minded beyond imagination. There's a hundred things you or I could do that would get us accused of witchcraft in those days. I'm really glad I didn't live then.

It was okay. I prefer my movies about witch trials more in the horror vein, though, so Mark of the Devil is more my cup of tea. This movie was still good, though.

Back a year later. Glad others agree! This was one of the best films of the 90s.

One of the worst movies, Winona was completely wrong for this movie. Other than that, it was boring and over dramatic.

I adored the play in high school(1990), and really liked the film when I saw it. To me, it works on the basis that Proctor is a good, but flawed man. The story is about a man and his wife. The Witch Trials are just the backdrop.

In my opinion this film is a masterpiece and quite underrated to be honest. I don't understand the hate it gets here on imdb forums.
