Isobel Waller-Bridge Instagram – One of the highlights of last year was being approached by Elize de Toit to score her arresting film about witch hunting in 18thC Scotland. Focusing on Lilias Adie, who was accused of practicing witchcraft and fornicating with the devil but died in prison before sentence could be passed. In Adie’s confession she described the devil as having “cold pale skin and cloven-hoofed feet like a cow”.
Just this year, there have been growing calls for a legal pardon for the thousands of people persecuted as witches in post-Reformation Scotland, as a drive for posthumous justice.
I was honoured to score this film, directed by Elize de Toit
