The Witches (1966) – DVD | Joan Fontaine | Kay Walsh | Hammer Horror Classic
She thought the village was peaceful. She was wrong. Produced by the legendary Hammer Film Productions and starring the Oscar-winning Joan Fontaine in one of her final film roles, The Witches is a slow-burning and genuinely unsettling 1966 British horror film in which a schoolteacher recovering from a breakdown in Africa takes a quiet position in a seemingly idyllic English village — only to gradually discover that the community harbors a dark and ancient secret involving witchcraft and ritual sacrifice.
Directed by Cyril Frankel and based on Norah Lofts’ novel The Devil’s Own, The Witches is a rare and atmospheric Hammer gem that builds its dread with patience and craft.
