The Devil's Bath
Directed by Veronika Franz, Severin Fiala
In 1750 Austria, a deeply religious woman named Agnes has just married her beloved, but her mind and heart soon grow heavy as her life becomes a long list of chores and expectations. Day after day, she is increasingly trapped in a murky and lonely path leading to evil thoughts, until the possibility of committing a shocking act of violence seems like the only way out of her inner prison. Giving a voice to the invisible and unheard women of the rural past, THE DEVIL’S BATH is based on historical court records about a shocking, hitherto unexplored chapter of European history.
From the directors of Goodnight Mommy, comes a chilling psychological descent into the rural past.
Cast: Anja Plaschg, David Scheid, Maria Hofstätter, Natalija Baranova, Camilla Schielin, Lorenz Tröbinger, Claudia Martini, Agnes Lampl, Lukas Walcher, Reinhold Felsinger, Elias Schützenhofer

I fully appreciate that this film is a psychological, eery look at depression, religious pressure and expectations however this film was long, slow, a bit boring and drawn out. Probably wouldn’t watch again.
Really good folklore horror, a slow burn descent into madness, if you're a fan of folklore then this is definitely worth a watch ✌️
I didn’t like it , pretty boring.
Really good movie and very interesting! Learned a lot, based on a true story!
The main character gets more and more bored and depressed; the movie, however, was also so boring and depressing that I felt its only purpose was to make me feel equally as boring and depressed — a true immersive experience?
