Haxan (1922) - Desiderii Marginis - Beyond Retrieval

[lookingformovies1]

I HAPPEN TO BE A CHRISTIAN WOMAN. I STUMBLED UPON THIS MOVIE. ALTHOUGH FOR THE TIME IT WAS VERY WELL AND DISTURBINGLY DONE, IT IS STILL SATANS HANDYWORK AND MUST NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. IF YOU WANT TO LIVE THERE IT IS CERTAINLY YOUR CHOICE, BUT DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOU GO THERE AND IT ISN'T A GREAT BIG PARTY. THE LORD HAS BEEN WARNING YOU SO TAKE GREAT CAUTION...

[drheim1]

the best is when the devil hits the nun in the head with a log of some kind ha ha.

[Heliophobus]

I absolutely love this! All the best scenes are arranged very well.

All but one, that is. I would introduce the scenery of the nun and priests with that short scene in which the devil suddenly appears behind the reading desk. What do you think?

[MaverickMediaUK]

@Heliophobus Could be, i don't know really.

[Heliophobus]

@MaverickMediaUK I'll see if i can get it done, with your permission. Did you get the colortone by coloring and adding a little more exposure? Did you also increase the contrast a little?

[technox666]

Is that a Bosch painting in puppet form?

[MamaMacabre]

Excellent improvements!!  Did you enhance the resolution in addition to sepia? It seems much clearer, and the soundtrack gives it such a new found gravity ...it's just awesome.

[MaverickMediaUK]

@MamaMacabre No I just gradient mapped it which highlights the contrasts and lifts it. Thanks for you comment, glad you liked it.

[Solitudinis]

@topangastar1 Offended because of what? Long before we were born there was superstition, religious beliefs of hell, sex... I found it a very beautiful movie :)

[xbluemystx8686]

i cam

[daimyo2]

[MaverickMediaUK]

@daimyo2 No

[kramerscape1]

It's such good quality for a 1922 movie ;_; and it's very good ._.

[kookalamaka]

WOW. The images are INCREDIBLE. And the music makes it even more disturbing.

[akAsha6E6D]

his best track....well theres quite a few...i guess its my all time favourite!!!!

[nierealnaKOLABORACJA]

Haxan is one of the best movie ever made ...

[ShaolinDynasty]

The music works so well for this awesome film....I love it....

[WATERVLOG]

Awesome!

[Insulated1971]

Geile Sound. Thx for the Video....

[ExpertGamer951]

That mechanical depiction of Hell must be the mother of all mothers of Halloween decorations. I wonder where this thing is, I -so- want it!

[renatoavatarian]

fuck!! this one kicks ass!! how do I get this score to myself? got a name?

[MaverickMediaUK]

@renatoavatarian Google, Desiderii Marginis - Deadbeat (2001)

[renatoavatarian]

@MaverickMediaUK thanks a lot!!!

[GenocideKommando1]

great track.. i wanted do this with photos of wwii

[afx777]

Awesome track and great video to go with it, many thanks for the upload! :-) It is a shame Paganism was demonized by Christians as it's a belief in tune with nature which humans have become so distant from in this age.

[HeiligZorn]

Wow this freaked me out o_o

The song fits the movie - which I'll look foward to see - very well!

I just won't give points to it because it features a very christian vision of the things.

We all know witchcraft was not about demon worshipping, but mainly about pagans practicing their faith.

[PiranhaPanic]

'Häxan' gives more questions than answers - and that's the mark of good film. Brilliant!

[CanwllCorfe615]

I could guarantee this movie is scarier than 90% of the new "horror" movies. They all lack character and atmosphere. Fantastic song as well

[jalopez1748]

These are Haxan's scenes Benjamin Christensen's movie

Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (USA) (DVD box title)

[mortanius34]

Amazing documentary of Satanism and witchcraft in the Middle Ages.Controversial,nightmarish and absolutely fascinating,it has been a long time since i've watched such a great movie.Excellent piece of work with this upload my friend, thanx for that:)

[Suosaaski]

I wonder how people would've reacted to Desiderii Marginis back in 1922.

[UlfLundell]

I wonder how people reacted this movie when it came out, I mean, it's the coolest depiction of hell, satan and witchcraft I've ever seen. Feels like you understand how people thought about the subject in the medieval times.

[guapoteN1]

abreme Kana que me van a verrrrr!!!!!.

jajajajaja.

open me the door Kana at least someone look at me.

[necronominate]

this is divine*

[MaverickMediaUK]

Thanks. Actually the contrast is all messed up on this upload. I will try re-uploading a better quality one that hopefully YouTube will encode correctly.

[afx777]

@MaverickMediaUK I think the contrast looks cool and it gives a more gritty and surreal viewing.

[MaverickMediaUK]

@afx777 Thanks. I quite like high contrast sometimes as I like the idea of reducing imagery down to light and shadow, kinda like some of Giorgio de Chirico's paintings. Unfortunately YouTube makes the dark areas more brown looking than my original video.
