This movie depicts the story of the Salem witch trials through the eyes of Sarah Cloyce ( played by Vanessa Redgrave) very accurately. This movie is set in the early 1690's and tells of how the witch hunt started. Some positives of this movie are; The historical accuracy of the witches who were accused and hanged, as far as names go. The historical accuracy of the props, the dresses, hairstyles, and the way they talked in the 1600's were all fairly good as well. Some Negatives are; during the hangings, the props depicting the dead bodies were obviously fake, some of the noises during the movie were a little too loud, such as when the actors would walk in the houses the sound of their shoes were incredibly loud. They did change up a few things from what happened in real history, but they were minor. I am giving this movie a 7/10 rating since it was fairly historically accurate, since it was made in the 1980s, went somewhat under-the-radar and went straight to VCR. Some of the acting talent was questionable, however overall it was pretty good.
