On the occasion of José Luis López Vázquez's death, director Pedro Olea recalled his performance in this film. "What better inquisitor than López Vázquez? He accepted the role and turned it into another character that was amazing: a religious sadist, cruel and libidinous. Simply, his way of brushing Silvia Munt's chest with his fingers when removing a medal, of directing another torture session with her naked and then flagellating himself in his cell, demonstrates a perfect interpretive treatment of the repression suffered by the sinister friar," he said.

Film shot in the same places where the events that inspired it occurred.

Akelarre means "Witches' Sabbath" in English, and the film is about witchcraft trials directed against the Araitz witches in 1595.
