The Angelmakers is a 2005 documentary shot in a small Hungarian village NagyrÃ©v.

It starts confusingly with remeberances of wives and lousy drunk husbands. And flypaper. And a chemistry lecture. But it comes together in a bone chilling portrait of a group of homicidal maniacs (women) who killed their husbands one by one, over a period of 2 years to where the final number of men poisoned is about 140; the 'arsenic' murders in 1929.

From Wiki:
One of them is the midwife's story as well as one of the narrators' revelation that the 'flypaper' murders were a wide-spread practice not only in the particular area but on a national level. The film tries to give some insight in the domestic battles that the women of the village have to fight.

The modern day Hungarian women that tell the tale are very likeable but some show no emotion at all at the memory of murder and death.
