Films are prohibited all over the world for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes it is due to their stars that are aligned with the separation of political reasons and disturb governments - what happened to Disney's controversial remake of Disney When it was banned in Lebanon. Other times, it's because the film is so disturbing and terrible that censors find it inadequate to public consumption, like all Forbidden horror films that found a home in the United States After upset the rest of the world.

That said, the United States was not always milder for horror films. As early as 1922, Danish director Benjamin Christensen "Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages" was published for positive feedback from critics, but some of the film's biggest supporters thought it was too daunting for the public to deal with. "Haxan" was banned in the United States-and several other countries-time after its publication, mostly because of its so-called hula, satanic and disturbing image. The documentary/fantasy explores the theme of witch hunting in the Middle Ages, in detail all the injustices faced by women who were wrongly accused of being in Cahoots with the devil. However, it also shows real witches flying around on brooms and committing crimes, and some of those scenes really apply censorships the wrong way.

"Haxan" was not incomprehensible in 1929, but continued to shock and delight spectators as the years progressed. For 103 years, Christensen's shocking shocked first threw his deadly magic, but the disturbing power and attractiveness of the film remain intact. Since the film is quite frightening to modern standards, it is understandable why it annoys people in 1922.

Benjamin Kristensen made "Haxan: witches through the centuries" in order to shed light on the injustices of history and did not stay when it comes to horror. For inspiration, the director turned to the text of the priest and the Inquisitor Henrich Kramer "Maleus Maleficorum", which was written in order to help regular, God -fearing people identify witches. However, the film is also a magic work of dark and gruesome fantasy, with scenes that pushed the boundaries and then some back in the day.

"Haxan" is full of nudity and violence, with the second termination of men, women and children. In what is probably the most disturbing scene of the film, a witch holds a dead baby immediately after bleeding the newborn for ritualistic purposes, so that the call of the film is complete. Elsewhere, people are boiling alive, and the demons plague their victims with forks, so do not enter this if you are lightly written.

A movie like "Haxan" was always supposed to be banned in 1922, but at least it's easy to see these days. Moreover, Christensen's film proved to be influential, like Robert Egers cites a big impact on his masterpiece for 2016 "Witch" - Another movie that informed ancient witch texts. Witch sticks do not come much better or more controversial than "Hexan", even if some censors would be more removed from public spending.
