Review of Maleficarum

Maleficarum (2011)
2/10
Poor on every level
27 October 2018
Set in the 16th century, a young woman inherits a fortune after her parents die. In order to get their hands on her wealth, the Catholic Church imprison her and her wealthy female friend, accusing them of being witches. They refuse to confess.

Quite poor. Though it is has all the trappings of a B-grade exploitation movie, this movie had the potential to expose the horrors and hypocrisy of the Spanish Inquisition. However, it really doesn't go anywhere new.

Even the gratuitous stuff is badly done, with every scene drawn out to the point of tedium.

Some pretty laughable performances. A school play would contain better acting than many of what passed for it in this movie.

Poor and dull. Avoid.
