Witchfinder General

Horror legend Vincent Price is at his most wicked (and restrained) in Michael Reeves’ gruesome period piece about a sadistic 17th century witch-hunter. Matthew Hopkins delights in torturing those he suspects of being in league with the Devil. As he spreads terror and torment across the English countryside, the resistance emerges in the form of a soldier whose lover was raped by Hopkins’ henchman. When Hopkins decides to frame the couple as witches, all the cruel tools of torture are put to use to get them to confess. But justice may soon prevail...
