StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Alex da Silva Preacher Keith Larsen travels around Mexico using religion to seduce women. I've recently watched "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" in which David Warner plays a similar preacher character. Both films are from 1970 so that was thing for preachers in those days. It's only unrealistic in that they would prefer same sex relationships in real life. Anyway, Larsen is on the run from police for theft of an automobile and no doubt, several outstanding rape charges, when he finally makes it to a coastal mansion occupied by several women. Boy, is he in Heaven! Or has he actually arrived at Hell? The big house is run by a coven of witches who worship astrology and, in their own way, are doing mankind a favour by killing people who are due to die painfully, by killing them off early. Kathryn Loder (Cassandra) is the High Priestess who controls the group and she is committed to her work.The film is a comedy horror which thankfully doesn't have any gore. It's colourful and kookie but unfortunately, the quality is not good. It's a crazy storyline that is punctuated with a chorus that sings "Amen" at the end of each piece of philosophizing or prayer by our vicar. This film is definitely different. It's trashy entertainment – not sure it's very good, though. I guess that's the point of being trashy. It's a camp-fest.
HumanoidOfFlesh "Night of the Witches" is a psychedelic 70's horror comedy about a lewd preacher who meets up with a coven of sexy witches.The main witch Cassandra often speaks with Jupiter in her colorful mansion.Very strange and somewhat surreal horror comedy with several truly bizarre characters.The character of preacher totally cracked me up.I enjoyed the main country song too.It goes like that ""He's a man of many pleasures,He's a man who's got the time,He's the man who told the preacher where to go-oh-oh...He won't talk behind your back,He's no ordinary jack,He's a man of many pleasures,don't ya know".The lack of nudity is a bit of disappointing,but if you are a fan of 70's weirdness grab the copy of Keith Larsen's "Night of the Witches" and treasure it!7 witches out of 10.Abre la puerta!
john22900 This movie does not fool around. The main character, a preacher, gets right into the action within the first five minutes of the film and lets the audience in on just what a rotten heel of a guy he is - and will remain throughout the entire film. A rather strange and bizarre film and even more amazingly without any gore or blood whatsoever. The eye catchers are a coven of witches who have set up shop somewhere - the exact location is never specified - and live by the Zodiac and astrological prognostications - which foretell that any number of visitors who come across their path will die horrible and bloody deaths - so in order to prevent that from happening, they take the law into their own hands and poison them before they can die violently. The women who appear on this film are all pretty attractive and the men in it are mostly a bunch of low grade morons. But this movie is kind of fun to watch in a cheesy sort of way just as long as you don't take the goings on very seriously.
phage739 Night of the Witches is a psychedelic seventies horror movie with some pretty interesting moments! A coven of witches lead by a woman named Cassandra, living in a cliffside mansion in California, sacrifice unsuspecting wanders based on what the zodiac decrees! Plenty of Bond Girl outfits and scantily clad witches! Despite a few "Keystone Cop" chase scenes, this low budget film delivers incredible atmosphere and some gritty guitar songs! Fans of the psychedelic drive in movie era will scream in delight! Think along the lines of "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things!"
