tonight's feature: Season of the Witch (1973) on Shudder
With George Romero behind this, I expected more. So much more. Season of the Witch (formerly titled "Jack's Wife" then released as the softcore-with-no-action "Hungry Wives") initially failed to get traction until a re-release after the success of Dawn of the Dead. Shocker. Romero also said in interviews that the film was "not really" a horror film and I'm going to have to agree with him.
It's mostly a look at a bored 70s housewife who turns to witchcraft to make her life interesting. Not sure if she succeeded but it barely moved the needle on this dumpy script. There's a lot of annoying bits in this movie and I'm not just talking about the wallpaper or fashion choices. 5 cats that enter your basement during your satanic ritual that you never noticed out of 10.
