Critic Reviews for Maid of Salem

All Critics (2) | Fresh (2)

Maid of Salem is a decidedly worthwhile film, both as history lesson and as object lesson, and shouldn't be missed.

Ann Ross
Maclean's Magazine
Lloyd adds very cleverly little details about witchcraft, so that when conflict erupts and fear takes over the population, all these elements surface, spreading and turning a drama into an almost terrifying film. [Full Review in Spanish]

Audience Reviews for Maid of Salem

Mar 03, 2011

Early Hollywood version of the Salem witch trials isn't bad but the miscast leads hurt the overall film. Both Colbert and MacMurray were expert at drawing room comedies and contemporary dramas but at sea in a historical setting. Bonita Granville is properly hateful as the spiteful girl who starts the panic.
