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

Really well done, but more of a period piece than horror, that is, until the last 30 minutes. That was superb. It was tortuous as a viewer to get there though.
They obviously don't like real reviews. they buried or deleted my original. Definitely a slow movie, but its a tale as old as time. mother in laws are Karens and can drive any woman crazy.
Some of you people can't keep your own SJW beliefs out of a movie review so i will do the same. Decent movie SPOILER ALERT. The husband shouldn't have been a mommas boy and told his mom to go to her own house/cottage/cave or whatever. if she would have minded her own business and he would have shower her the attention she obviously wanted on her wedding night. Im sure jerkin the gerkin while your new wife is wanting to do her wifley duties. He obviously has drinking problem and gives the vibes likes to "dance" with other men. He should have been a real man and his moms name was obviously Karen.
GREAT, GREAT, GREAT
Interesting film depicting events that happened in German speaking countries during the 17th and 18th centuries.
