THE WITCHES (1966)
1966 was a pretty good year for Hammer (and their reused sets and actors) with Christopher Lee playing both Dracula and Rasputin, and a couple of adventures on the moors in The Reptile and Plague of the Zombies. The latter is probably their essential voodoo thriller, but what of this other tale of black magic and folk horror out in the English countryside? The distributor of an older Hammer movie collection used the music from this film for all their DVD menus so someone must have been a fan. But does it hold up or is it all just a bit too slow and frustrating?
