A gloomy path alone, evil thoughts arising.. Official submission of Austria for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 97th Academy Awards in 2025.. @KenTheCriticThe brilliant filmmakers who gave us "Goodnight Mommy" and "The Lodge" are back to add to their credits. Directors/Writers Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz bring us "The Devil's Bath (Des Teufels Bad)" set in 1700s Austria and continue to show us that they are a staple in this genre.

It's an unsettling thriller that recounts an actual part of European history

Fiala and Franz were intrigued with the interrogations, trials, and murders of women who killed children back during that time and how the community would unite in the execution of them. These women were clearly victims, but history just shows that they referred to them as witches. They dove into hundreds of cases that Associate Professor Kathy Stuart of The University of California of Davis acquired. "The Devil's Bath" is now available to stream on Shudder.In "The Devil's Bath", Agnes (Anja Plaschg) is newly married and just crazy for her husband, Wolf (David Scheig).

Anja Plaschg actually creates the film's score as well

She spends time with her husband, but her life becomes more and more depressing as she is trying to get acclimated with married life. As her mental health is lacking, her mother-in-law (portrayed by Maria Hofstatter) starts berating her until she just wants to give up. She starts believing that there's only one way out."The Devil's Bath" is a slow burn and isn't as suspenseful as "Goodnight Mommy" getting lost on developing the time it was set in than on what is happening to Agnes, but I appreciate what Fiala and Franz did with the film and the research that went into writing the screenplay. The cinematography helps paint this dreary landscape of gloom, isolation and sadness.

She is a musician that goes by the name Soap&Skin

Fiala and Franz are about to adapt "A Head Full of Ghosts" by Paul Tremblay and that film should be more apprehensive than even their first feature.
