the she beast (1966)

AKA Il lago di Satana. Revenge of the Blood Beast. Satan's Sister. She Beast. Sister of Satan.
"What a strange place, it seems to be full of weirdies and werewolves."
Veronica (Barbara Steele) and Philip (Ian Ogilvy) are honeymooning in modern day Transylvania when they have a car accident. He survives but her body is possessed by the spirit of a witch who cursed the descendent's of the villagers who killed her two Centuries before. The witch then sets about avenging herself on the villagers.
The first feature by the now fated Michael Reeves, due to his subsequent films, The Sorcerers and Witchfinder General. This has some great dialogue, that doesn't take itself too seriously. in this very very cheap film. It hints of things to come, but won't be to everyone's taste. Enjoy it for its cheesy dubbing and over the top acting, or not at all!

the sorcerers (1967)

"Where were you last night?"
Professor Mounserrat (Boris Karloff) and his wife Estelle (Catherine Lacey) are an elderly couple who have developed a technique to control other people's minds through a form of hypnotism. This allows them to feel the sensations the subject feels, allowing them to live vicariously through the subject. Their latest victim is a hip young arrogant thing about town Mike Roscoe (Ian Ogilvy). The couple force him to go further and further in pursuit of pleasure. But when Estelle takes control and forces Mike into murder, the Professor realises he has to stop his wife, but how?
A low budget horror, effectively directed by the up and coming Michael Reeves, who unfortunately died before fulfilling his potential. The budget forced the makers to concentrate on the melodrama of the piece, rather than flashy set pieces, which is all to the good.

witchfinder general (1968)

aka Edgar Allan Poe's Conqueror Worm. Matthew Hopkins: Conqueror Worm. Matthew Hopkins: Witchfinder General. The Conqueror Worm.
England 1645, during the civil war. A time for the witchfinders to exploit the superstitious villages of East Anglia. Such a man is Matthew Hopkins (Vincent Price), who tours the area dispensing justice against witches, for a price. But when Hopkins picks on a priest and his niece, he incurs the wrath of Richard Marshall (Ian Ogilvy), the girls fiance.
A fantastic premise for this horror, come historical melodrama. Which loosely uses real life events as the basis of this very dark and effective film. It also features the best performance that Vincent Price ever gave. This was reputedly because he and the director didn't get on and you can see it in the antagonistic performance.
