“Ladies and gentlemen, the motion picture you are about to see contains an evil spell, as used by practitioners of witchcraft for centuries. Even today, in many parts of the world, people practiced black magic and witchcraft. Charms, amulets, voodoo candles, grave dirt, and locks of hair are believed to ward off evil spirits and spells. You may doubt the effectiveness of these spells, but through every civilization, people have believed in witches. Could they all be wrong? I don't think so. For I have see its power, proved too many times. I am now about to dispel all evil spirits that may radiate from the screen during this performance!”As soon as the US opening narration finished I knew I’d love Butn, Witch, Burn AKA Night of the Eagle. Solid performances all around with nice direction, lush cinematography, and a damn fine Lewton-esque atmosphere that permeates this supernatural witchcraft jam. Features the combined legendary writing talents of Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont, and George Baxt.If you dig 1957’s Night of the Demon, you’ll probably dig this too.
