I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs. Had searched this obscure movie n finally revisited it recently. This one is a true rarelust.
I am surprised that our fellow reviewer Coventry, a true obscure horror fan hasnt seen this movie.
While revisiting this, Amando de Ossorio's Tombs of the Blind Dead n Mario Bava's Rabid Dogs came to my mind.
The film starts with a lovely location of that of an open inn, very serene n sunny. Almost the entire film is shot in broad sunlight n even the night scenes are shot in good lighting. Inspite of the sun soaked n daylight settings, the film is creepy at times.
The film has amazing creepy locations where even during daytime it feels frightening. All the characters are despicable n their fate is well deserved, violent deaths.
The poster of the witch holding a snake in one hand n a scythe in another used on the VHS cover is taken from the cover of Warren Comic's VAMPIRELLA #11 (May 1971).
This film has nothing to do with any witch of that sort n the poster very misleading.
