Review: Virgin Witch

Virgin Witch (1972)

Ok, so the images from IMDB have nothing to do with this movie for starters, the poster I uploaded is a little more appropriate to the movie. You know those occult torture-porn rape/revenge movies from the early 70's? This isnt one of those. It will make you think it is, and make you keep thinking it up until the end. Really its a soft-core porn movie where they talk about witches and shit. I couldn't really follow the plot, but from what I could mostly seemed it was just about some horny chick and her sister trying to take over a coven of witches, while the previous head priestess has a lesbian hard-on for the lead girl. Also they're into photography or something. It keeps your attention with boobs, but it grinds on and on with nothing else really happening. Although it does have a lot of nudity and some style, I'd say skip it. It's not even that hot unless you really like awkward 70's lesbian make-out scenes and naked old people dancing in circles.

Review: Mark of the Devil

Mark of the Devil (1970)
Corrupt witch-finders terrorize an English village during the height of witch hunting days. This is a classic witch hunting movie with plenty of gruesome torture. While most of the superstitious paranoia in this movie remains effectively disturbing, some of the absurdity of the (like believing marionettes are tools of the devil) is played for laughs. Over all I'd say its on par with The Conqueror Worm, and although this one lacks Vincent Price there are some good performances here, the character Albino being especially memorable. Also, I recognized a lot of the audio from this movie from being sampled in the album  Dopethrone by Electric Wizard. I really enjoy this type of movie, there is something really stylish about them that I dig, not really sure what that says about me psychologically...
