What a waste of Hammer-time!
When listing all the numerous horror/thriller successes that the legendary British Hammer studios brought forward, “The Witches” is a title that rarely ever – in fact NEVER – gets mentioned. It’s also fairly easy to figure out why in this case, and it’s not just because the film wasn’t directed by one of the studio’s most prominent directors (Terence Fisher, Val Guest, Freddie Francis…) and/or because it wasn’t starring any of the regular genre icons (Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Michael Gough…). “The Witches” is, simply put, a vastly inferior product and hardly even worthy of the Hammer quality label. The story, although nearly bursting with great potential and endless possibilities, is incoherent and dull. There nearly isn’t enough action or suspense, the stupendous filming locations and scenery are sadly underused and the climax – which finally comes after an incredibly tedious middle section – is preposterous, dumb and makes you regret all the precious time you wasted until then. You know you’re in trouble when the most exciting and horrific sequence of the entire movie deals with the lead actress being overrun by horde of sheep! The lovely and charismatic Joan Fontaine stars as Mrs. Mayfield; a schoolteacher who’s still somewhat mentally unbalanced following a trauma she experienced whilst residing in a primitive African tribe. She’s more than happy to accept a peaceful teaching job in the British countryside, but nightmares ensue when it gradually appears that nearly the entire community takes part in witchcraft rites. “The Witches” is insufferably talkative and predictable throughout. The only aspect that I didn’t see coming was how ridiculous the climax sequences would be… The spastic dancing and imbecilic facial expressions of the people in the crowd make it one of the most pitiable endings I’ve ever seen. I feel sorry for Joan Fontaine, even more so because – reportedly – she personally approached Hammer Studios in order to turn the novel into a movie.
