Worth a fresh look/review is the DVD release by Code Red and (actor) L.Q. Jones. It's a beautiful, crisp 2.35 16x9 transfer. I picked up a copy as soon as it was released.

Really unknown).<br />I have the american Sinister Cinema edition in DVD, and an old VHS spanish version. Here, in Spain, the film was titled "La Hechicera De La Muerte" ("The Death Witch" or "The Death She-Wizard"... some like that).<br /><br />I love the movie. <br />In fact, I'm really in loved with all those american underground films from the late 60's and early 70's envolved in witchcraft (and, sometimes, a little bit of funny and innocent nudity, of course). Movies like "the Witchmaker", "Blood Sabbath", "Werewolves On Wheels", "The Devil's Rain", "Warlock Moon", "Brotherhood Of Satan", the most famous "Race With The Devil" and others.<br /><br />I think it was a special kind of genre, a no-man's land, an underground line of semi-exploit dated between "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist" (not really between 1967 and 1973... Think in those years just like temporal references) but which has no debts with those two films.
