In the aftermath of the Great Plague and amidst the subsequent witch-hunts against women, a young widow grapples with the tragic death of her husband in a society completely consumed by fear and death. Because she rejects the advances of her landlord, she is falsely accused of being a witch and thrown in jail for a crime she didn’t commit. She must endure physical persecution at the hands of England’s most ruthless witch-hunter and face her own inner demons as the devil himself starts to work his way into her mind.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'The Reckoning' is firmly rooted in historical horror/drama focusing on witch trials, plague aftermath, and religious persecution. There is absolutely no indication that the events take place during the Christmas season, nor do the plot, themes, or iconography relate to Christmas traditions or values."
