aka 13.
"I thought it was the most frighening place, almost like you were back in the middle ages."
A French winemaker (David Niven) is under pressure due to a series of disasterous harvests. His family start to worry about him, especially when they find him employing pagan rituals in a desperate attempt to save the crops, pressured into it by the local witch (Sharon Tate).
A star studded cast, including Deborah Kerr, David Hemmings, Donald Pleasence and Flora Robson, cannot make up for an uneven, and only mildly chilling horror. Best remembered as a precursor to The Wicker Man - using essentially the same central plot device.
