Witchcraft (1964)
Country: GB
Technical: bw 79m
Director: Don Sharp
Cast: Jack Hedley, Lon Chaney Jr., Marie Ney, Jill Dixon
Synopsis:
A three hundred year-old feud between two English families is revived by the proposed wedding of two of their descendants. When a cemetery is cleared by the former witch hunters, the other family's sorceress ancestor is unearthed, and before long the groom's family is meeting with unnatural deaths.
Review:
Routinely cast but goodish British horror, with the frustrating habit of enacting its horrors offscreen which Tourneur's Night of the Demon and Hammer should have rendered obsolete years previously. Crystalline black and white cinematography and interesting brassy score: chaotic and discordant.
