Vincent Price one of his best
Vincent Price in one of his best performances. This movie has it all what you would expect from a Vincent Price movie. Action and lots of thrills. The picture quality is beautiful and the extras are great. Cannot recommend this enough.

Witchfinder General blu-ray
Brilliant 1968 film starring Vincent Price as a man seeking witches and dispatching them by hanging and drowning..looking wonderful on blu-ray at last. A must buy.

Vincent prices prime performance
This notorious UK shocker is Vincent prices best film, it is emotionally engaging, gripping and ultimately frightening. He plays a brilliant role as the sinister witchfinders general. Unfortunately this film was notorious in the UK because it's graphic violence, however this Blu-rays completely uncut and restores all the scenes of the censored version. See it for yourself and overlooked masterpiece of classic cinema that is finally being appreciated by modern day audience.
