The Rad Revival House is "burning" up with excitement about our newest Horror review on WITCHFINDER GENERAL!We're joined by London-based cinephile and author Jennifer Upton, who provides some very shrewd insight on this unusual 1968 folk horror chiller. Vincent Price stars as Matthew Hopkins, a sadistic witch hunter who apprehends and tortures innocent people he wrongfully accuses of witchcraft 1600s England. When Hopkins abducts a beautiful young woman, her soldier husband (Ian Oglivy) must take a stand against the witch hunter's cruelty.Our host, Prof. Cesare Augusto and Jennifer analyze the eccentric approach of the film's director Michael Reeves (gone too soon), along with Price's gloriously over-the-top performance, and the use of actual British castles to add to the picture's gloomy gothic presence!
