Shudder has released The Devil’s Bath trailer for the forthcoming horror period thriller, which hails from the creative team behind underrated horror movies such as Goodnight Mommy and The Lodge.
“In 1750 Austria, a deeply religious woman named Agnes has just married her beloved, but her mind and heart soon grow heavy as her life becomes a long list of chores and expectations,” reads the official synopsis. “Day after day, she is increasingly trapped in a murky and lonely path leading to evil thoughts, until the possibility of committing a shocking act of violence seems like the only way out of her inner prison. Giving a voice to the invisible and unheard women of the rural past, THE DEVIL’S BATH is based on historical court records about a shocking, hitherto unexplored chapter of European history.”
