Loading...“The Reckoning” is a 2020 historical horror film directed by Neil Marshall, best known for his work on horror and action films such as “The Descent” and “Doomsday”. Set in 1665 England during the Great Plague, the film follows the story of Grace Haverstock, a young widow accused of being a witch after her husband commits suicide.
Charlotte Kirk plays the role of Grace, who is subjected to a brutal witch trial and imprisoned by a corrupt judge, played by Steven Waddington. As Grace endures horrific torture, she struggles to maintain her sanity and hold on to her faith.
