Homu L @AkemiLord 5d Fantastic movie. I really enjoyed watching this. Great film! See more Madoka A @RT95510435 Jun 23 Fantastic. Spooky. Funny. Great product! Really good! See more Jeferson d @RT33865530 04/28/2025 I would argue it's a Western and a good one! What captured my attention is that the movie has 2 protagonists, the good and the bad (there is also an ugly one), and this contributed with a 'chase' element to the movie which I don't see quite often anymore - I was really hoping that the good would eventually catch the bad! But the Horror comes at the end... and what an end!!! See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 12/11/2024 A good witch finder film that is a British accompaniment to The Crucible. Exposing the corruption and sadism that flourished during the vacuum of power at the time of the English civil war. Pretty unflinching in its depiction of violence. Watched on DVD. See more S R @ScottR 10/22/2024 Saw it because it was on my Time Out BBF list. It was on Pluto. I remembered seeing this perhaps in my childhood and it left a bad impression on me then. Price was sinister and the plot was melancholy, full of injustice and its still that way, but with an early 70s feel to it. I was left frustrated with the melodrama and contrived issues / plot. It's title was "Conqueror Worm". I don't plan on seeing it ever again. See more Lewis M @RT78775615 10/05/2024 I got to see this in the movie theater back in 1972 as The Conqueror Worm. Unfortunately, the uncut version I saw has been long gone from all DVD/ Blu Ray releases. Pity. Price was never more effective because all the extra violence and torture that we saw in the States only added to the grimness and reality of Michael Reeves vision. A brutal film for its day. I felt as if I was alive in the 17th century experiencing the madness of the day and the murder of these accused women. Not to mention the ending where Ogilvy kicks out Stearns eye and just keeps swinging the axe into Price before his knees buckle. The fullness of that scene is gone as well. Sometimes it is best to see films on their theatrical release because you never know what is going to be missing once it hits the BluRay version. The fact that Reeves died shortly after making the movie and the company that owned the film went bankrupt might have something to do with this. See more Read all reviews
