Synopsis

Grave robbing, torture, possessed nuns, and a satanic Sabbath: Benjamin Christensen's legendary film uses a series of dramatic vignettes to explore the scientific hypothesis that the witches of the Middle Ages suffered the same hysteria as turn-of-the-century psychiatric patients. But the film itself is far from serious-- instead it's a witches' brew of the scary, gross, and darkly humorous.

It is implied through various scenes, and there are a few times where people are told to disrobe in order to prove something.

around the 29 min mark (on Max it shows 1:17:24 left in the runtime), an old woman has fallen to the floor, after another woman comes and touches her it’s pretty soon after that. it last about two seconds, very quick and doesn’t look gross to me. it’s during the second part

There is a scene where a woman gives birth to a demon - It's not explicit (a person in a demon costume crawls from under a blanket which covers the entire lower half of a woman)

The entire movie is a "documentary" about witchcraft, which is by nature hate speech since all of the re-enactments of "real" witchcraft are inspired by the hate speech in the Malleus Maleficarum written by Heinrich Kramer
