Documenting the Witch Path (Häxornas Sjö) is a five time award winning horror documentary[1]. The film that was created by Carl Sundström in 2016[2] won multiple film festival awards[3] before getting released by Terror Films on streaming platforms in the fall of 2019.[4]
Plot[edit]
A horror documentary where you get to follow the journey of three documentary filmmakers on their quest to find the truth about the Witch Lake. A infamous place where women accused of witchery were killed in the 17th century. Apparently the lake is no longer open to the public, and the township does not want to give answers why. These filmmakers would eventually find out the terrifying truth about it.[5]
Release and response[edit]
The film was first released 2019-10-11[6], two years after its premier during its film festival run. During its festival tour the film was shown in several countries such as Usa, Sweden [7], Great Britain, Norway[8], Canada and more[9].
It was first released on Amazon[[10] as a USA exclusive film. After a few weeks it was released on more platforms such as TUBI-Tv[11], Google Play, ITunes[12], Microsoft[13] and more, making it available in the rest of the world.
Due to its controversial concept of being edited as a horror movie, the film has received a lot of mixed response from media and the audience[14].
Sometimes it has been believed that the film is not a documentary, rather a mocumentary[15]. The chief editor of Sweden's biggest movie magazine MovieZine was sceptical about the authenticity when publishing the press release[16], and let the audience decide for them selves.
