Häxan
''Häxan'' (Danish title: ''Heksen''; English title: ''The Witches'' or ''Witchcraft Through the Ages'') is a 1922 Swedish-Danish silent film written and directed by Benjamin Christensen. Based partly on Christensen's study of the ''Malleus Maleficarum'', a 15th-century German guide for inquisitors, ''Häxan'' is a study of how superstition and the misunderstanding of diseases and mental illness could lead to the hysteria of the witch-hunts.〔Pilkington, Mark ''Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages'' Fortean Times, Dennis Publishing Ltd., October 2007〕 The film was made as a documentary but contains dramatised sequences that are comparable to horror films.
With Christensen's meticulous recreation of medieval scenes and the lengthy production period, the film was the most expensive Scandinavian silent film ever made, costing nearly two million Swedish kronor.〔 Although it won acclaim in Denmark and Sweden, the film was banned in the United States and heavily censored in other countries for what were considered at that time graphic depictions of torture, nudity, and sexual perversion.〔Tybjerg, Casper, ''Et lille lands vagabonder 1920–1929'', ''100 Års Dansk Film'', Rosinante Forslag, 2001, p. 68. ISBN 87-621-0157-9.〕
