(1970, Upgraded 8/18/22) Christopher Lee, Leo Genn, Maria Schell, Howard Vernon. Now at 109 minutes and from a beautiful color fully anamorphic 35mm print. Lee is superb as an evil judge who condemns citizens to be burned as witches. Vernon is terrific as his twisted executioner. If you like witch-hunting movies like Witch Finder General and Mark of the Devil, then this is right up your alley. Clearly one of director Jess Franco’s very best efforts. There are many cringe-worthy moments that will make you look away. Lavishly done with great photography and a wonderful music score. Rated R for full nudity and violence. Previous editions of the 109-minute version have had partially anamorphic, distorted visuals. That's not the case here. Aka The Bloody Judge and Night of the Blood Monster. Color, anamorphic widescreen, 35mm.
