The Reckoning
Nordengland, Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts: Nachdem sich ihr pestkranker Ehemann erhängt, wird
seine Witwe Grace zur Zielscheibe eines Großgrundbesitzers. Die junge Frau setzt sich gegen dessen Übergriffe zur Wehr, woraufhin
dieser Gerüchte streut, sie stünde mit dem Teufel im Bunde. Und das ruft den gefürchteten Hexenjäger Moorcraft auf den Plan.
Der britische Genrekapazunder Neil Marshall inszeniert mit The Reckoning ein saftiges Stück Witchsploitation, das mit donnernder
Dramaturgie, grellen Figuren und einer ultimativ kathartischen Rache-Geschichte schönste Erinnerungen an die Hochzeit des
Subgenres in den 70er-Jahren auslöst.
