Programmer's Pick

Nothing says 'college credit' like dabbling in demonic possession during a semester on superstition. Come for the incantations, stay for the miniskirts and period-accurate curses.

Overview

Mark of the Witch opens with a witch named Margery, condemned and hanged in 1648, cursing the Stuart family line as she faces execution for her bond with Satan. Centuries later, her curse lingers as Mac Stuart, a psychology professor with a keen interest in superstition, leads his students through explorations of the occult. The modern classroom's curiosity is stoked when Jill, a student, finds an ancient spellbook and brings it to her classmates and professor. Their dabbling in witchcraft soon blurs the line between academic study and supernatural danger, setting the stage for a collision between past vengeance and present-day skepticism. Expect a slow-burn campus-set occult horror with vintage grindhouse flavor.
