Although Price wasn't as menacing as I've seen him before, it was a different Price for me. This one was sexually overt instead of romantically frightening. But at the same time, he seemed to have a guilt about it. Either way, my favorite part was
when the young soldier came back to find Sara had been violated. Instead of slapping her face and throwing her away as they usually do, he embraced her all the tighter and pledged his love to her in marriage before the alter. So sweet!! I actually cried!!!
Great movie, if only for that part alone. 10 years 5 months ago

I saw Ken Russell's The Devils for the first time this year and honestly, I think Witchfinder General suffers by comparison. It felt like a very superficial experience--Hopkins just comes across as a mustache-twirling villain. No depth of insight into his character or the times that permitted such sadism in the name of Christ. 2 years 8 months ago
