What Witchfinder General Is About
In civil war England a man who has appointed himself a witchfinder travels from village to village killing people for a fee. Michael Reeves made something sold as horror that contains nothing supernatural: the dread comes entirely from the fact that nobody in the chaos can stop him. Vincent Price plays it not in his usual theatrical register but as a cold, tedious functionary, and that choice is why the film lasts. The beauty of the English countryside sits against the events in a way that stays uncomfortable throughout.
