Second viewing; first seen between 1983 and 1986.
A woman gets pregnant and, amidst constant physical discomfort, gets progressively suspicious that there is a plot led by her neighbors, and with the complicity of her husband, to affect her pregnancy through witchcraft and eventually steal her baby.
Efficient horror drama, with remarkable cinematography and strong visual compositions. The script is not exactly brilliant, though, relying at times on not very original ideas and somewhat abusing of repetition. The underlying structure is a mirror image of the story of Jesus, which as an aftereffect becomes itself tainted with horror.
