Key Points
Operatic, bloody and classy, Dario Argento’s horror film about a dance school that is secretly a witch’s coven is the finest example of a Giallo.
A film more about a witch hunter rather than witches, set during the English Civil War, Witchfinder General is about the notorious witch hunter Matthew Hopkins, a man who hung more people for witchcraft alone than in the previous 100 years combined. Vincent Price, with his distinctive voice, relishes the role.
