OVERVIEW

Set in seventeenth century England, the film opens with ploughman, Ralph Bower, discovering a strange skull in a field. The skull is heavily deformed and has one eyeball attached to it. When the judge looks at it, he dismisses any fears about it as supernatural hogwash.

The judge's predictions prove ill-founded when later people start to sprout hair on their bodies and begin to behave oddly. The judge is called again, and this time he takes it seriously and swears to return when he has researched the subject of Witchcraft.

When he returns, he brings the full weight of his knowledge to bear on the great evil infecting the village.
