Film Description

Michael Reeves' classic British horror drama is et In England during the time of Cromwell and sees Vincent Price play Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins, who travels the country hunting down and torturing those he proclaims witches. Spreading violence and terror in his wake, Hopkins encounters little opposition until he persecutes the Marshall family, and young Richard Marshall (Ian Ogilvy) resolves to put an end to the witchfinder's infamy. This, the third and final film from director Michael Reeves (who died shortly after it was released), was filmed in Norfolk and Suffolk and is often considered one of the great British films, being especially noteworthy for its use of the rural landscape.

Vincent Price is frighteningly demonic as Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins, and the restrained and realistic portrayal of medieval torture and violence is still powerfully effective. Described as one of the only genuine 'English westerns'.
