England, 1645. The cruel civil war between Royalists and Parliamentarians that is ravaging the country causes an era of chaos and legal arbitrariness that allows unscrupulous men to profit by exploiting the absurd superstitions of the peasants; like Matthew Hopkins, a monster disguised as a man who wanders from town to town offering his services as a witch hunter.

Witchfinder General Ratings & Reviews

  • Andy Davidson | folknhell.comAugust 18, 2025
    Nowhere near as good as its subsequent legend would have you expect. It's not so much fok horror as a film about folk who are simply horrible.

    couldn't get over how bad the blood looked but the title sequence was so beautiful
