| Horror 100 No. 69 (Previously No. 33). Another great Vincent Price film, this is more shocking and serious than most, probably because it's based on real-life events. Price plays Matthew Hopkins, who, as the Witchfinder General, abuses the public's fear of the supernatural to meet his own ends, those being sex, money and power. Ian Ogilvy plays a young solder whose wife (Hillary Dwyer) is next on Hopkins hit list. The cast includes Rupert Davies ('Dracula Has Risen From the Grave'), Patrick Wymark ('The Psychopath') and Wilfred Brambell ('Arold!). A dark and disturbing historical horror that inspired a subgenre of similar features ('Mark of the Devil', 'The Bloody Judge' etc). Director Michael Reeves was 24 at the time. By '69 he was dead, apparently a suicide. This, along with his two previous horrors ('She Beast' and 'The Sorcerers'), made him a cult hero. Ogilvy starred in all three of Reeves' features. |
