Horror Movies That Are Just As Beautiful As They Are Terrifying – /Film

Director, producer, writer, editor, production designer, costume designer, and composer Anna Biller clearly loves chintzy, overdesigned Euro-sleaze horror movies of the late 1960s. Her 2016 film "The Love Witch" is one of the more authentic B-movie re-creations to come out of the neo-grindhouse movement. The quality of the light, the flatly delivered dialogue, the makeup, the music, the use of sex and nudity ... with only the smallest of adjustments, "The Love Witch" could be released in theaters in 1969. CinematographerM. David Mullen knew what he was doing.

The story is a retro free-love parable. A witch (Samantha Robinson) loves freely and dreams of having a husband. She has sex on her terms, and, true to the title, men are constantly falling in love with her. This can be a problem when she doesn't care enough to keep them around. The thrills are very arch, the horror subdued, colorful, almost campy. It's a delightfully stylized, sexy little romp that fans of shlock and Italian horror can enthusiastically imbibe.
