(1969, upgraded 5/9/23) Anthony Eisley, Thordis Brandt, Alvy Moore, John Lodge, Burt Mustin. A series of brutal witchcraft-oriented murders has taken place in a lonely southern bayou. Moore takes a research group deep into the bayou to investigate suspected paranormal events. One of his crew is the descendent of an ancient witch. When the local group of witches finds this out, they decide that she must be brought into their satanic web. In spite of a low budget, THE WITCHMAKER is really a pretty good movie with lots of creepy bayou atmosphere, which in turn is complimented by a well-done music score. Considered by some to be the ultimate movie about witchcraft. Uncut. This film has partial nudity, gore, and a number of genuinely scary scenes. Recommended for sure. Great color, from 35mm.
