When a heist goes terribly wrong, a motley crew of getaway drivers and thieves escapes into the remote Navarran village of Zugarramurdi, infamous for its witch trials. But what begins as a desperate hideout unravels into a nightmarish carnival of black magic and folklore. The village’s ancient residents are not the frail women they appear to be; they are a coven of cannibalistic witches with a dark plan for their uninvited guests. As the robbers try to outrun absurd, gore-soaked chaos, they must confront their own greed, cowardice, and a sinister prophecy that threatens to unleash hell on Earth. Directed by Álex de la Iglesia, this dark comedy-horror twists Basque myth into a frenzy of macabre humor, body horror, and hallucinatory dread, where no one is safe—not even the audience’s expectations.

User Reviews
“I went in expecting a straightforward horror, but Álex de la Iglesia threw a chaotic, bloody carnival at me. The film's energy is infectious, mixing over-the-top gore with satirical comedy. Not perfect, but I loved the unpredictability and the creepy atmosphere in the village. A wild ride.”
“For a witch movie, this has plenty of nasty practical effects and some genuinely unsettling moments with the coven. But the tone shifts too wildly between slapstick and terror, which killed the tension for me. Still, it's bonkers and visually striking. I'd watch it for the ridiculous final act.”
“I appreciated how the film blends folklore with modern comedy-horror. The witches are frightening in their humanity and grotesque in their true forms. Yes, it's absurd at times, but that's the charm. It kept me on edge, and I actually laughed out loud. Highly underrated.”
“I wasn't as impressed. The premise is promising, but the plot feels like it's all over the place, and the characters are too goofy to care about. The scare factor is undermined by the constant jokes. It's a decent time waster, but I wouldn't call it a truly scary witch movie.”
