Interesting Documentary on Witchcraft
The Power of the Witch: Real or Imaginary? (1971)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
This British documentary takes a look at the history of witchcraft and various witches in their country. The film talks about the possibility of witches being real or if perhaps it was all a mental thing. For the most part I thought this was a rather entertaining documentary that managed to keep you interested in the subject. If you're a fan of the British horror movies of this era then you'll probably enjoy this even more than your casual viewer since films like BURN WITCH BURN and WITCHFINDER GENERAL were making a lot of noise at the time this was released. There are some nice stories told and the red-ish tent gave the film a bit of atmosphere. If you're a fan of the subject then this is an interesting piece and there's even a bit on Jayne Mansfield that I hadn't heard about.
