Hopkins and his assistant, John Stern, ride through spectacular location shots around England, looking for disciples of the devil to torture and burn. (Indeed, the devil must be at work, for the skies are bright blue even though people keep saying it's nighttime.) Nevertheless, Hopkins and Stern seem to have a knack for picking on the innocent, notably the fiancée of young soldier Richard Marshall. Price turns in another top performance, delicately mixing false piety and sadism with a dash of lecherousness. Can Hopkins be stopped? Will Marshall risk desertion to save his love? Why are those women just sitting around the inn topless? The answers to these questions and more await you in The Conqueror Worm. --Ali Davis Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Not worth 4+ stars Seriously, this movie is not worth the more than 3 stars many people give it. Yes, give credit to Price for playing a vile character sans the usual "camp" factor, but that praise on its own makes neither his acting nor the whole of this film great. I found myself fast forwarding through several sections that would have offered nothing more if I let them play at normal speed. This type of "self-editing" we do on occasion with movies at home just goes to show some professional editing should have ... Read More Rating: - Classic. Chilling. A worthy re-issue of a stand out horror classic. This British horror film from 1968 is definitely worth a look. Price gives a career best performance as the evil, self-serving Matthew Hopkins, who abuses his position as Witchfinder General in order to satisfy his own vices - all the while condemning vice in others. It's an adult, disturbing movie, which captures the raw quality of seventeenth century English life, while reflecting back some of the sexual preoccupations of the late 1960s. It also speaks to our own era, in that it deals with corruption ... Read More Rating: - Vinny the P gets Medieval on us Everybody loved Vincent Price. In the 60s and 70s, he was crowned the King of Horror but no matter how many horror movies he appeared in, people still loved the guy. He could do horror classics like MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM or THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM or show up as the villain Egghead on TV's "Batman" or even pop up in a cameo in a Frankie & Annette Beach movie...and everyone still liked him, no matter what he did. Then he did THE WITCHFINDER GENERAL. When I saw it as a kid, ... Read More Rating: - Classic horror still chills the blood This is a story of persecution and revenge filled with Vincent Price's manic leering, which has never been better. This is great entertainment, dark brutal fun. Rating: - Vincent Price's best performance, and quite an extraordinary film.... I remember seeing this film on regular TV (WFLD-TV in Chicago to be exact) at 2 in the afternoon. I remember the bone chilling screams from the prison scene. I searched far and wide for this film, and when I saw the whole film, I had seen a masterpiece. Witchfinder General (aka Conqueror Worm) is an extraordinary film. It's one of a handful of features directed by Michael Reeves. This is the film he's most famous for, and it's as bleak and as terrifying as you've heard. It's not a "gorehound" ...
