After losing her husband during the Great Plague, Grace Haverstock is unjustly accused of being a witch and placed in the custody of England's most ruthless witch-hunter, Judge Moorcroft. Forced to endure physical and emotional torture while steadfastly maintaining her innocence, Grace faces her own inner demons as the devil himself starts to work his way into her mind.

Critics Consensus

Thematically and visually unpleasant, The Reckoning wallows in the same violent misogyny it purports to condemn.

Staid horror tries to be provocative and relevant, but fails.

2/5

Despite a spirited score and a few other redeeming features, The Reckoning is too clumsy, overlong and generally miscalculated to add up to an intelligent commentary on misogyny, or a satisfying riposte to it.

The Reckoning is tonally confused, ill-conceived, and fails in fulfilling the basic needs of a horror film, neither provocative enough to work as campy grindhouse or serious enough in its history tale.

What’s so special to me is Marshall’s delivered a film about early modern history that speaks so directly to so many pressing issues we continue to face today as a global society.

Hubble, bubble, The Reckoning toils but ultimately will not trouble the pantheon of witchery classics.
