The Witches
A STRANGER IN A TOWN THAT HAS LOST ITS MIND... IF SHE'S NOT CAREFUL, SHE MAY LOSE HERS TOO!
Directed by Cyril Frankel
Produced by Hammer Film Productions
A paranoid psychological thriller about a vulnerable woman discovering that an idyllic village harbors a satanic cult, blending occult horror with mounting dread and psychological unraveling.
Following a nervous breakdown, Gwen takes up the job of head teacher in the small village of Haddaby. There she can benefit from the tranquillity and peace, enabling her to recover fully. But under the facade of idyllic country life she slowly unearths the frightening reality of village life in which the inhabitants are followers of a menacing satanic cult with the power to inflict indiscriminate evil and death if crossed.
