Beloved by horror fans, Udo Kier is yet another of the great talents lost to cinema in 2025. As a tribute, we bring you the film that launched his career. Famously marketed as ‘Rated V for Violence’, "Mark of the Devil" arguably remains the best witch-hunter film ever made. In 1700’s Austria, a witch-hunter's apprentice (Kier) begins to have doubts about the righteousness of witch-hunting when he witnesses the brutality, injustice, falsehood, torture, and lustful arbitrary killing that go with the job. When originally released theatres passing out barf bags emblazoned with the film’s name — and we have a handful of those barf bags to give away to those who survive our inquisition! Also starring screen vet Herbert Lom, Reggie Nalder, and the bewitching Olivera Katarina. Rated R. 98 minutes.
