Witchfinder General | Full Movie | Flick Vault

[@GaryReynolds-g9h]

Stunning Historical drama. The best performance of Vincent Price's career. The supporting cast is first rate especially Hilary Dwyer and Ian Ogilvy. The director would have gone on to great things but sadly had many inner demons. The cinematography and music are breath taking. Very brutal for 1968. Along with Blood On Satan's Claw the best example of so called folk horror movies. A genuine classic that still shocks all these years later. Brilliant movie thanks for uploading this gem..

​@@sallybennett7869 The director was a young bloke, 25 years of age but for sure close to a film-genius concerning this outstanding movie. Keep also in mind the joke of a "budget" he had to make this movie. It is for sure one of the best movies of all time by a young and aspiring director with a close to nothing budget to realise a more or less historically drama! We have movies with 10 to 150 times more of a budget showing pirate ships 1812 with undetected/unedited 20th century jet fighters in the sky etc. etc. This movie is extremely brutal and disturbing on several levels, visually, sonically!, psychologically etc. But witchhunt/witch-tribunals (aside slightly different/incorrect historically details of this movie) "might have been" brutal and disturbing too. But that's another topic.

A real shocker at the time. Michael Reeves was a brilliant young director who died tragically young. Apparently he didn't get on with Price, and told him to "stop rolling your eyes and waving your arms about, play it straight." The result was one of Vincent Price's best ever performances.

[@blex5579]

kinda giallo actually- not really fitting-credit`s music that is...

[@StephanieLaerkeAndersen]

Director Michael Reeves didn’t fair too well with Vincent Price during the making of this film. Price, already a well established actor didn’t take too kindly in being told how to deliver his lines from the young, sprightly and somewhat inexperienced Reeves. Michael Reeves however was wonderful at extracting the best performances from his actors, and had he lived longer than his tragically short 25 years, he likely would’ve gone on to bigger and more interesting things. This film is his masterpiece. Vincent Price did write to Reeves after the film was released, finally praising the film, and then thanking him for pushing him to the limits of his powers as an actor. Price as usual is brilliant as the cruel witchfinder Matthew Hopkins. Ian Ogilvy is suitably heroic, determined to end Hopkins’ reign of terror. Michael Reeves has woven a tapestry of such horrors, delights and colours - the result is a wonderful display piece and telling of a time when superstition, and the extremes of religion, were at the forefront of thinking.

[@freedomatlast8756]

Thanks for a most informative post.

[@christophernash3577]

You probably know the legendary story that Price said to Reeves "I've made 70 films. How many have YOU made?" And Reeves replied "2 good ones!" Reeves actually had Donald Pleasence in mind for Matthew Hopkins and resented having Price foisted onto him because of a production deal with American International Pictures. Today of course its impossible to imagine the film without Price, though one can only wonder what Pleasence would have brought to the part. And yes, Reeves' tragically young death did rob British cinema of what would certainly have been one of it's great directors.

Evil in England, witches and witchcraft, low budget film rocks with Vincent Price in the lead. With the look and feel of a classic 'B' Hammer horror film, many might be turned off by Witchfinder General but they would be missing out on a great film. An achievement considering the amount of censorship & production problems it faced. The story is exciting & very well paced, Price is particularly menacing and intense in his role which makes the film enjoyable with his deadpan style. The murderous witch-hunting exploits of Matthew Hopkins who falsely claimed to have been appointed as a "Witchfinder General" by Parliament during the English Civil War to stop sorcery and witchcraft in search of men and women bearing the devil's mark. With the Witchfinder General and its dark plot and focus on cruelty and greed its sense of futility in the face of supposed encroaching evil, it offers a stark reflection of society that has shunned the church and it's conventions with mass hysteria that Mathew Hopkins takes complete advantage of and you have a genuine, timeless cult classic. In real life his father, James Hopkins, was a Puritan clergyman. Many claim he was a lawyer and appointed by parliament, no facts to back up any of this except to charge huge fees for his services to weed out and find witches and rid England of witchcraft. Hopkins was supposedly able to ‘prove’ that innocent men and women were agents of Satan, Hopkins began to prosper. He had 19 women hanged at Chelmsford in a single day. Moving northwards, Hopkins was paid £6 by the people of Aldeburgh in Suffolk for ridding the town of witches, while in Norfolk, at Kings Lynn, he took £15 for his services and £23 from the grateful townsfolk of Stowmarket. The most famous and infamous test of discovering a witch was ‘swimming’. The suspect’s limbs would be bound together and they would be lowered into water by ropes. If they sank and drowned, they were innocent and in heaven; if they floated, they would be tried as a witch. Hopkins was responsible for over 200 executions of innocent English citizens all accused of witchcraft. This film documents an interesting historical period in England when one unscrupulous conman is able to take control of various villages and towns for his own gain to rid them of witchcraft and evil. Although the Witchfinder General lacks the flare of a high budget film, shot on location in the English countryside, I enjoyed the film and would recommend it.

Of course a lot changed. Romans hid the gospels original texts from all nations they controlled. For over 1200 years the Romans duped people. Rome kept the entire Bible in Latin. Read the promises of Jesus in Matthew 5. Very few people were educated to even read, let alone understand Latin. The priests were usually political pawns who served their money masters. There is no commandment to go to war against any person or nation. That is men talking Earth politics. The gospels of Jesus abhor the taking of life. Jesus only ever heals those who are demon possessed and physically sick. Martin Luther changed that situation with the Reformation. He started to translate to languages men could read. That started the revival of true Christianity that had been hijacked by Rome in the 4th century. Christianity has only ever been based on the promises of Jesus in Matthew 5. English Standard Version The Sermon on the Mount 5 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. The Beatitudes 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. 8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons[a] of God. 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Salt and Light 13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that[b] they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

OMG, this is almost too brutal to watch. But strangely it is informative and showed the absolute horror inflicted on innocent people at that time.

[@Fouremyleofceres]

I actually saw this version back in the late sixties in west Texas. It was black and white. watched it again when NetFlix had it for like three months. For the most part, it is a romantic tale. Love and honor, though, I think honor is the thing in this flix. His honor is besmirched by his love use of her body to save her Uncle. At the end, his honor was denied by his friend, who put the Witch finder out of his misery. Just a thought.

Upload The Sentinel from 1977. An underrated, nightmarish horror flick if there ever was one

[@trickysam04]

Possibly Price's greatest performance.

[@D4veJap4n]

This is genuinely upsetting. And even worse to think this is actually what went on. I’ve seen what whispers and quiet comments can do in modern day. I’ve watched whispers from one girl pass around the room while the victim had no idea. I watched as the other women glanced at the male victim and whispered the secret on to others. Then men hear it and glance at him too, their knuckles white from clenching their fists.

[@miladydewinter7770]

That is a scene that has haunted me for ever -- that poor woman being slowly lowered into the flames.

Thank you so i enjoy this good movie it had one of master of horror Vincent price thank you so much it can get no better than this

[@lindamulholland8512]

Vincent price was one of my favorite actors along side christopher lee , and bela logosi and the other guy , for the life of me i can't remember his name ! I just remember it ! Peter cushing and also. Lon chaney ! I loved all the movies they starred in ! These witch hunts were so wrong ! So many innocent people died because other people thought they were casting spells and practicing witch craft. The people that executed the accused were the ones that were witches !

[@robertcooke1774]

peter cushing?.

[@peteryoxen4485]

Linda Mulholland generally speaking the accuser was a neighbour who saw an opportunity to seize property on the cheap.There is also clear evidence that the motive was sexual,the humiliation inflicted upon women ensured their compliance.

[@baishampayandas5056]

Can you restore the final end credits if possible, that really does complete the film and the music has a great impact.

Dr. Elizabeth Martin exactly what do you mean by “human” past.

[@RobTheFossil]

Of course a lot changed. Romans hid the gospels original texts from all nations they controlled. For over 1200 years the Romans duped people. Rome kept the entire Bible in Latin. Read the promises of Jesus in Matthew 5. Very few people were educated to even read, let alone understand Latin. The priests were usually political pawns who served their money masters. There is no commandment to go to war against any person or nation. That is men talking Earth politics. The gospels of Jesus abhor the taking of life. Jesus only ever heals those who are demon possessed and physically sick. Martin Luther changed that situation with the Reformation. He started to translate to languages men could read. That started the revival of true Christianity that had been hijacked by Rome in the 4th century. Christianity has only ever been based on the promises of Jesus in Matthew 5. English Standard Version The Sermon on the Mount 5 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. The Beatitudes 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. 8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons[a] of God. 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Salt and Light 13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that[b] they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

One of my favourite horror movies of all time.

[@SahanaChakrabarty-i9z]

Very sad story about the poor suffering folk who were exeuted for being witches. I saw this film when I was a kid in the U.S. more than 40 years ago, and it scared me and distressed me a lot. But still interesting viewing.

[@charlesK12960]

but they do the same thing today. they just don't call it "witches" but they withc-hunt today so all the liberal whining is really nothing.

[@D4Disdain]

Hunting 'witches' and 'heretics' will come full circle again, I'll say by mid-2000's with the new religion of 'p3ac*' when they take over. Will be big business like it was in the past. God help us ... In Buffalo NY, a Christian Gothic-style church, just was sold by the amount of 250,000 for the purpose of being a mosque, but this is totally unraletad. Just saying.

[@halfcolombian72]

Great entertainment! The fake blood sucks though. Vincent Price is so likeable as a person that I find it sometimes difficult to dislike him even when he portrays someone savage and ruthless as he does in this movie. Reminds me of Leslie Nielsen before he started with comedy. He's a joy to watch in every scene. Hilary Dwyer is gorgous. The fighting scenes and special effects are pretty good actually if you ignore the obvious red paint. I recognized an actor from a fawlty towers episode thre as well. Pretty fun. Enjoyed this a lot.
