Virgin Witch [Blu-ray]

Product Information

An average poster with overall fresh color. May have tears, minor paper loss, minor hazing. Paper may be brittle due to age, may have minor stains. May have a small amount of writing in an unobtrusive place. May have medium or major restoration. There then follows a photoshoot for an advertisement that ends up with Christine completely naked and draped over the bonnet of a car. Meanwhile, Betty wanders the grounds and runs away from sinister-looking characters. The main problem with this movie is that it doesn't show you, it tells you. Characters explain everything, so no one has to actually do much to move the story along. Throughout the movie, viewers are treated to a visually stunning portrayal of witchcraft and its associated rituals, including spells, invocations, and sacrifices. The dialogue is sharp and witty, with clever satire and social commentary woven throughout the movie.

The obvious reason this film was made was not to make a horror film or a classic film or any other type of film except one: a movie where two sisters (as well as many others) are naked in approximately 90% of the movie. In the modeling agency, in a field, on a car, in a witch's ceremony, in bed... I didn't time it, but to say that 90% of the film has nudity is really not much of a stretch. Virgin Witch is set in a beautiful English country house called Wytchwood, a locale that serves as the setting for glamour photography and witches' rituals. Both the Sabbats and the snapshots are undertaken mostly in the nude. The very notion that two sexy, skimpily-clad London girls from the 70s, one of whom poses nude and the other dates a seedy (?) guy, could be virgins is of course the biggest absurdity here, more absurd even than the existence of witchery. You could more easily convince me of the existence of the paranormal than of hot young English girls (not underage) of this ilk being virgins. I don't believe there have been any hot virginal London girls older than 18 in many decades - let alone those that pose nude and/or have street-smart boyfriends. But this isn't a criticism of the film, it's just something I wanted to mention. A witchcraft doctor, of course, and that night Christine is being inducted into the ways of the dark arts – will poor Betty be next? Not if Johnny gets there in time! Michelle attended Knewnham Junior School in Wanstead and then West Hatch Technical High School. After O-levels she stayed on at school to complete a secretarial course. Hoping to become a ballet dancer, she joined the Aida Foster stage school.The sisters get mixed up in the world of witchcraft, via a modelling agency run by a woman called Sybil (former Mrs Michael Caine, Patricia Haines) who also happens to be the lesbian High Priestess of a coven. A poster with faded colors and brittle paper, showing significant signs of use. May have tears and paper loss. May have tape, writing, stains in image area. In need of restoration or had major restoration. Sybil (Patricia Haines, ex-wife of Michael Caine) opines on the benefits of witchcraft while standing before an "Onibaba"-style demon mask.

Pulp (1972) An author becomes embroiled in murder and intrigue in the Mediterranean while ghostwriting the autobiography of an ageing actor with… The plot here is a little shaky. While the goals of the coven aren't really revealed, and the modeling agency may or may not be real (they never explicitly say), there is a definite story. Whether or not it's enough story to really matter is up to the viewer, I suppose. Although it was rejected by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) in April 1971, the film was granted an X certificate by the Greater London Council for a limited release in the capital. The BBFC eventually relented and passed a cut version for general release in January 1972. As the sisters become more involved in the coven's activities, they begin to realize the true nature of their new friends and allies. They are forced to reconcile their fascination with the coven's power with the realization that they are participating in something evil and dangerous.
