Witchcraft (1992)
4/10
Excuse me. I have to get disemboweled

Warning: Spoilers
This is a BBC mini series from circa 1992. A film crew is making a movie about Ezekiel Oliphant, a witch hunter during the 17th century English civil war. Jamie Matheson (Peter McEnery) is an adviser on the set and script writer who has the habit of changing scenes after they have been shot, writing on the fly. He gets help from Alan Oakfield (Alan Howard) an expert on Oliphant who had his wife and mistress both put to death as witches.

Jamie starts to assume the character of Ezekiel and it appears history is going to repeat itself. It includes twists and head fakes.

The acting in the series left a lot to be desired. This is maybe the worst performance of Lisa Harrow. I only kept watching the film because it appears to have been written so Judy Campbell can undress. I imagine this has been re-released based on the modest success of "The Witch" from the same period, sort of.

Guide: Sex and nudity.
