"The Witch" directed by Roland af Hällstrom is based on Mika Waltari's 1947 play of the same name.I found this black and white Finnish horror movie about raven-haired witch named Birgit Suomaa engrossing and fascinating.Birgit was found naked by archaeologist Hannu in the swampy grave.Hannu takes her back to the mansion owned by wealthy Baron Hallberg.Soon Birgit begins to seduce all of the men in the mansion.Surprisingly moody early 50's Finnish witchcraft horror with lovely Mirja Mane playing the witch.This stunningly beautiful young actress provides plenty of nudity.It's a crying shame that her acing career was ended fairly quickly.8 snakes out of 10.
