The Love Witch

"The best kind of homage or parody, the type that honors every thrill and quirk of the original while improving on it."

"It's a lovingly crafted ode to little-loved cinema that's secure enough in its obscurantist nostalgia to make a sly joke of its occasional anachronisms..."

"It's cloaked in a retro wardrobe and soundtrack (much of the music, by Italy's Ennio Morricone, is sourced from '60s thrillers) but loaded with irony and a fluid sense of identity."

"The fear of female sexuality has been a staple of horror movies forever, but "The Love Witch" does more than simply subvert or parody the erotic underpinnings of the genre."

"A wild, provocative ride, from backprojected opening to gleefully subversive ending..."

"Though a little too languid at two hours, The Love Witch is appropriately seductive."

"Biller ... emerges as a feminist Russ Meyer skilled at fetishising archetypal images of narcissism with the exacting eye of a Douglas Sirk."

"Destined to be a cult classic, this sophomore effort by Anna Biller is a heady throwback to the American and European sexploitation horror films of the late '60s and early '70s."
