Mark of the Devil (German: Hexen bis aufs Blut
gequält, lit. "Witches Tortured till They Bleed")
is a West German horror film released in 1970. It
is most remembered for US marketing slogans
devised by Hallmark Releasing Corp. that included
"Positively the most horrifying film ever made"
and "Rated V for Violence", while sick bags were
given free to the audience upon admission.

The film was more successful at the box office
than Witchfinder General and this success is
often attributed to the aforementioned
advertising campaign. The film has been criticized
by many reviewers for being too violent to contain
any message and far too exploitative whilst dealing
with a serious historical subject. Other reviews
praise the film for its soundtrack, special
effects, and filming locations, consisting of the
mountainous Austrian countryside and stately
castles.

STORY:

Udo Kier is a witch hunter apprentice to Herbert
Lom. He believes strongly in his mentor and the
ways of the church but loses faith when he
catches Lom strangling Reggie Nalder to death for
calling him impotent. Kier begins to see for
himself that the witch trials are nothing but a
scam of the church to rob people of their land,
money, and other personal belongings of value and
seduce beautiful big breasted women. Eventually,
the townspeople revolt, Herbert Lom escapes but
poor Udo is captured by the towns people. This
film contains very strong graphic torture
including a women's tongue being ripped out of her
head,nuns being raped(in the opening credits), and
lots of beatings.
