The Devil's Bath(Des Teufels Bad)

In a remote corner of 18th-century Austria, a young woman, Agnes, embarks on a new life after marrying her beloved. Before long, however, her spousal obligations and the unforgiving rural environment begin to take their toll, both physically and mentally, and Agnes soon finds herself plotting her escape in the most unspeakable manner imaginable. Following the rapturous reception of Goodnight Mommy (39th) and The Lodge, writer-directors Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala spin a cruel and unusual folk horror tale, where pagan rituals and Christian doctrine are fiercely intertwined and justice is meted out with ferocious brutality.
