Overview

England, 1645. The cruel civil war between Royalists and Parliamentarians that is ravaging the country causes an era of chaos and legal arbitrariness that allows unscrupulous men to profit by exploiting the absurd superstitions of the peasants; like Matthew Hopkins, a monster disguised as a man who wanders from town to town offering his services as a witch hunter.

Viewing Notes

Catching up on more Vincent Price. And he is delightfully evil here. Maniacally so. The scenes he’s not in are much less interesting but he’s so great it makes this a worthy viewing.
