Witchfinder General

Witchfinder General

Witch, please! Patriarchal puritanical bloodlust run amok. Folk horror as a symphony of screams, fire, and fundamentalist paranoia. 

Not quite as unremittingly savage as I had been led to believe, but still plenty gnarly; plus, the implications of brutality that unfold here are almost more unmooring than what we’ve been conditioned to expect from a film like this. Christian zealots really are the goddamn worst. Thank fuck it became cool to worship the Devil centuries after all this shit went down.
