Virgin Witch [Blu-ray]

Product Information

The main problem with this movie is that it doesn't show you, it tells you. Characters explain everything, so no one has to actually do much to move the story along. Virgin Witch is set in a beautiful English country house called Wytchwood, a locale that serves as the setting for glamour photography and witches' rituals. Both the Sabbats and the snapshots are undertaken mostly in the nude. When the girls go to a country manor for Christine’s photoshoot, Betty becomes concerned that her brash older sister has decided that she likes what she sees and wants to know more about becoming a witch. Hot Summer Week (1972) Teenage California girls on a summer trip to a beach house, a traumatised hitchhiking Vietnam veteran (Michael Ontkean) who has… Sybil takes them to a secluded estate, where the weirdness factor explodes exponentially. Of course, the title comes into play, and Sybil's eeevil plans are revealed.

A witchcraft doctor, of course, and that night Christine is being inducted into the ways of the dark arts – will poor Betty be next? Not if Johnny gets there in time! In 2020, Michelle made her first appearance in the sitcom radio and podcast series Barmy Dale. She plays the recurring role of Angie Edwards. [8] Throughout the movie, viewers are treated to a visually stunning portrayal of witchcraft and its associated rituals, including spells, invocations, and sacrifices. The dialogue is sharp and witty, with clever satire and social commentary woven throughout the movie. After 'Allo, 'Allo! ended in 1992, Michelle went straight into another main role in Noel's House Party as Noel Edmonds's man-eating neighbour. She would play this role until 1997, wherein she had a guest role in two episodes of Gayle's World playing a fictional version of herself as a leader of a group of leather-clad women bearing whips named the Killer Bimbos. In 1996, Michelle played Lucy Westenra in a production of Dracula alongside Leslie Grantham in the title role. After having a part in the comedy film The Colour of Funny in 1999, Michelle auditioned for the role of Deedee Dove, the wife of Ray Winstone in the film Sexy Beast (2000). Although unsuccessful, as the role went to Amanda Redman, Winstone would remember Michelle. A poster with good colors and overall clean appearance. It may have minor tears small paper loss and minor stains. It may have some fold seperation.The witch aspects were done very well, with the ceremony and explanation of the high priest's role very believable. The topic of magic was very minimal, which I guess is unfortunate, but it didn't take away from the witch storyline as much as you might think.

The Final Verdict: A rather enjoyable sexploitation film, hitting all the required notes with enthusiasm and fun, giving it a great appeal. Highly recommended to the fans of the genre or those interested in the film while those who have no interest in the exploitation it offers will be best advised to skip the film. The modelling job is actually a ploy to initiate Christine into a coven of white wizards led by Sybil and the owner of the house, Gerald Amberley ( Neil Hallett). Christine, who is shown to have psychic ability, willingly undergoes the initiation ritual, during which her virginity is taken by Amberley. Christine's powers create tension between her and Sybil, who practises darker magic and has a predatory sexual interest in her. The conflict escalates when Sybil vows to have Betty initiated into the coven. The very notion that two sexy, skimpily-clad London girls from the 70s, one of whom poses nude and the other dates a seedy (?) guy, could be virgins is of course the biggest absurdity here, more absurd even than the existence of witchery. You could more easily convince me of the existence of the paranormal than of hot young English girls (not underage) of this ilk being virgins. I don't believe there have been any hot virginal London girls older than 18 in many decades - let alone those that pose nude and/or have street-smart boyfriends. But this isn't a criticism of the film, it's just something I wanted to mention. On a personal note, my biggest disappointment with this film is the choice of the leading actress. The sister is far more attractive than the lead, so I would have rather their roles were reversed. This way, the attractive one would have more on-screen nudity. Although, if you're watching this to get turned on (as the tagline implies) you might be let down: after the first fifteen minutes, the nudity was so pervasive it wasn't even that odd anymore (like living in a nudist colony).

Johnny, who has been warned about Sybil's true nature, arrives to take Betty away. However, Christine places him under her control, forcing him to participate in Betty's initiation. During the ritual, Christine wrests control from Sybil by psychically torturing her. Johnny, no longer under Christine's control, takes Betty's virginity. Christine then uses her powers to kill Sybil and take her place as high priestess of the coven.

The film was shot in Surrey in 1970 and previewed in the December editions of Mayfair and Continental Film Review (in which the title was stated to be " The Virgin Witch"). The country house location – Admiral's Walk in Pirbright [2] – was subsequently used by Norman J. Warren for his films Satan's Slave (1976) and Terror (1978).
