The movie takes place in England in the 17th century and tells the story of a group of witch hunters who face a terrifying encounter with a demonic entity. The movie starts with a group of witch hunters led by Matthew Hopkins (David Clarke) arriving in a small village in England. They are on a mission to find and kill witches who they believe are responsible for a series of mysterious deaths that have occurred in the area.
The hunters are ruthless and show no mercy to those who they suspect of being witches. They torture and interrogate anyone they think might be involved, including innocent people who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
However, things take a dark turn when the hunters stumble upon a house deep in the woods where they discover a woman who seems to have made a pact with the devil. The woman claims that she has made a deal with the devil in exchange for power and that she has a familiar, a demonic entity that serves her.
At first, the hunters don't believe her and assume that she is just trying to trick them. However, as they spend more time in the house, they start to experience strange and terrifying occurrences that they cannot explain.
The familiar haunts them and torments them, causing them to question their own sanity. As the hunters confront their deepest fears and face the devil's familiar, they realize that they may have made a grave mistake by underestimating the power of the supernatural.
