A lot of that is down to the acting, with Kuno Becker, a 27-year-old at the time in just his fifth feature film - and second English-language film - still young and fresh in his foray into acting. Despite the film being shot at various EPL matches and including real football players from Newcastle United and other well-known players around the world, you could tell Becker and Nivola were nowhere near accurate in their portrayals.
As you walk through the memorial, the names of the accused are etched into the stone, a solemn reminder of the human toll of fear and superstition. Next, you will visit the Salem Witch Museum, an immersive experience that brings the trials to life. Through captivating exhibits and narrations, you will gain a deeper understanding of the events that unfolded.

1. Emily - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with the Salem witch trials excursion. The tour guide was boring and didn't provide any interesting information about the trials. It felt like we were just walking around aimlessly, with no real purpose or direction. Additionally, the tour was overcrowded and it was difficult to hear the guide or see any of the exhibits. Overall, I would not recommend this excursion to anyone looking for an insightful and engaging experience.
2. Nick - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Salem witch trials excursion, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The tour guide seemed disinterested and lacked enthusiasm, which made it difficult to stay engaged. The stops along the way were also disappointing, as they were poorly maintained and lacked any significant historical context. I would suggest finding a different tour or experience if you are genuinely interested in learning about the Salem witch trials.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really looking forward to the Salem witch trials excursion, but it ended up being a letdown. The tour guide was knowledgeable, but the tour itself felt rushed and lacked depth. We barely had any time to explore each site, and it felt like we were constantly being hurried along to the next location. Additionally, the group size was too large, making it challenging to ask questions or get a personalized experience. Overall, I was left feeling unfulfilled and would not recommend this tour to others.
