This was a good movie about what happened in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. What started out as a sick game by a bunch of stupid girls turned into a chaotic religious craze. In the end dozens of innocent men and women were killed leaving behind a devastated community and a weak Puritan system (the last not being so bad.)
It amazes me how similar 1692 and today truly are. Back then as well as today people who are given even a little of power tend to abuse it for their own gain. It is also easy for people with influence to make others follow them blindly, never asking questions or second-guessing. It is only when a person stands up and exposes the flaws, often at risk to themselves, that the sheep (ordinary people) start to think for themselves and question things around them.
