Virgin Witch

About This Movie

Virgin Witch is this curious 1972 horror flick that blends a bit of camp with some genuinely eerie moments. The story follows two young women, clad in their mini-skirts, venturing to a remote castle that’s home to the enigmatic and somewhat sinister Sybil Waite. There’s a distinctive atmosphere here that captures the essence of early 70s exploitation cinema—think eerie castles and oddball characters. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but there's a certain charm to its low-budget aesthetic. The performances, particularly from the leads, bring a certain energy that’s hard to ignore. And then there are those practical effects, which are refreshingly raw, adding to the overall vibe. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill horror.

Virgin Witch has seen a handful of releases over the years, but it remains somewhat of a hidden gem among genre collectors. The scarcity of physical media, especially in good condition, adds to its allure. Its niche appeal and the intriguing blend of horror and eroticism make it a topic of discussion among collectors, especially those focused on cult films of the early 70s.
