It’s one of those movies that I’ve tried to like for years, but it’s horribly dated, telling the story of a neglected wife who turns to witchcraft as an alternative to her boring marriage. It has a sort of Bergman attitude mixed with a swinging sixties vibe, and if you think that sounds hideous, you’re right. The editing’s great, but that’s the least you expect from the man. To round off the Romero collection, the disk also contains There’s Always Vanilla, previously though to have been lost, and made at about the same time. George appears on the disk in a documentary about both movies, and he’s appropriately critical about both.

For completists and aging hippies only.
