The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Burn Witch Burn (1962)

AKA: Night of the Eagle

Starring: Peter Wyngarde, Janet Blair,

Director: Sidney Hayes

Premise:
A college professor discovers his wife practicing magic and forces her to start only to find out colleagues are using magic against him.

My Take:
A good film based on Fritz Leiber's novel The Conjurer's Wife.
Great atmosphere as the viewer isn't quite sure if the circumstances around the characters are real or in their head.

Rating: So Good
