Description

Perhaps the most unclassifiable of filmmaker George A. Romero’s works, 1972’s Season of the Witch sees the Night of the Living Dead filmmaker returning to the realm of the supernatural for this bewitching tale of a housewife driven to an interest in the dark arts.On the surface, Joan Mitchell has it all – family, friends, and a beautiful home equipped with all the latest appliances. But when a neighbour educates her on the practice of witchcraft, Joan believes she’s discovered the perfect antidote to her monotonous suburban existence, and embarks upon a dark path that will lead to a shocking conclusion.Filmed as Jack’s Wife and subsequently cut down and retitled Hungry Wives for its theatrical release in an attempt to market it as a sexploitation film, Season of the Witch is arguably one of Romero’s most overlooked films – an intimate and thought-provoking character study that serves as the perfect companion piece to his later Martin.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS:Brand new 4K restoration of the original theatrical version from the camera negative [90 mins] Alternate extended version [104 mins] High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation Original Uncompressed PCM Mono Audio English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Brand new audio commentary by Travis Crawford When Romero Met Del Toro – filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro in conversation with George Romero The Secret Life of Jack’s Wife – archive interview with actress Jan White Alternate Opening Titles Location Gallery with audio commentary by Romero historian Lawrence DeVincentz Memorabilia Gallery TrailersReversible sleeve featuring original and newly-commissioned artwork by Gilles Vranckx

    • The best release of this movie to date.
I first saw this movie back in the mid 1990's. It was a shocking surprise to find a VHS tape of another George Romero film I had never heard of, at the local Blockbuster (franchise) store! It was an old tape released by Thorn EMI, and the title was "Season of the Witch." I watched the old, poorly telecined, dark yet color faded, soft, fuzzy, copy with bad sound, and loved the movie. Unfortunately, many people tend to associate all of those negatives I just mentioned with low budget filmmaking, which is not the case. A little later on, Anchor Bay released it on VHS, which I bought. The Anchor Bay VHS was another surprise. This time, the movie started out with the original intro graphics. Starting with a bumper indicating the movie was produced by The Latent Image and ending with a graphic of original title "Jacks Wife." This copy was much, much, cleaner than the copy I had seen years previous AND, there were several extra scenes! Enter this Blu-Ray. This time, the movie opens with the graphic for "Hungry Wives." but THIS is what the movie is / was supposed to look like! The best way of re-releasing any movie is by making a copy of the original negative. Unfortunately, (and especially) in the case of low budget, independent films, the original camera negatives are lost. This then leaves people who want to restore and re-release old and obscure titles to use actual prints. Using actual prints is problematic because they were used (projected), many times not stored correctly, and just do not age well. Back in the 80's and 90's, distributors were doing very little, if anything, in terms of restoration. They got a banged up, faded print of a film with bad audio, and did the lowest, bargain basement, telecine transfer available. It should also be mentioned that older telecine methods, at their best, were nowhere near as good as the frame-by-frame digital captures that are being used today. What the distributor of this Blu-Ray did with the print they procured of this movie is nothing short of AMAZING! Everything is sharp and crystal clear, the colors are amazing, the lighting is perfect, there is pretty much zero grain, and the audio is excellent. If I did not know any better, I would easily think the movie was filmed on 35mm. If you have seen this movie before and liked it, prior to the release of this Blu-Ray, you will be shocked to see what a proper restoration of a better than average print can look like. ... show more

    • An extremely underrated George A. Romero movie...
This movie is a curiosity. It's only a horror movie by-proxy. There are definitely horror elements in it, but most of it is not tangible in a way that you see in that genre. This is most notably a pro-feminist movie. The main female protagonist in this film is taking charge of her life, but she doesn't sacrifice her femininity and it not trying to become a man or even try to put down men. She is simply independent, but she is also vulnerable. It's very interesting. You can tell that this movie had a budget of about $1.98, but none of that matters because it's what the movie is doing with that it has that makes it outstanding. SPOILER: You can definitely tell that there is more that could have been in this movie to make it more complete, but as you'll see in the interviews and such, it was cut to ribbons by the studio and mis-marketed. Thankfully we do get some of the original footage intercut into the film in an alternate cutting, but I would love to just one day see the raw 4+ hours that was the original film (as noted in the behind the scenes interview). I recommend this movie and I recommend seeing it once, sitting on it and watching it again. ... show more

    • Not One For the Pantheon of Greatest Movies Ever, But...
A '70s relic with some surprisingly good dialogue and a sympathetic lead. The execution fails the promise of the horror premise as sold, but I think the main point of the movie is that desperate people will turn to religion to regain a sense of power over their lives, and in this, the movie succeeds. And it also succeeds as an essay on feminism: Director Romero clearly empathized with the plight of women who had sacrificed their lives, careers, and youth for brute husbands, who had found themselves powerless and without value once the kids were grown and who are losing youthful beauty in middle age. The direction is erratic, glacially slow, then fast-paced, with jerky camera movements. The interior sets are a feast of lurid colors and '70s tack factor. Costumes and furniture are amazingly loud with bold prints and were acquired from the now-extinct Gimbels department store. Overall, film is both schlocky and good. Keep expectations managed. ... show more

    • More proof Amazon Prime streaming is the best thing that ever happened to film buffs
Wow, Amazon Prime streaming does it again, unearthing yet another drive-in classic from the 1970s! (When will A'zon buy Netflix? It seems inevitable!) This one really fit my lock, I thought it was terrific. It's amazing the disparity of opinion on this one --- Scott Adams, in his book 'Win Bigly', gives a possible explanation: "The most common opinion that we humans have of ourselves is that we are rational creatures---let's say 90 percent of the time, anyway. But every now and then we get a little emotional and temporarily lose our sense of reason. That's how most people see the world. I did too until I trained to become a hypnotist. "Hypnotists see the world differently. From our perspective, people are irrational 90 percent of the time but don't know it. We can be rational in trivial situations---such as deciding what time to leave the house to drive to work. But we are almost never rational when it comes to matters of love, family, pets, politics, ego, entertainment, and almost anything else that matters to us emotionally. When our feelings turn on, our sense of reason shuts off. The freaky part is that we don't recognize when it is happening to us. We think we are reasonable and rational most of the time. But what hypnotists have long known, and scientists have in recent years confirmed, is that our decisions are often made without appeal to the rational parts of our brains. We literally make our decisions first and then create elaborate rationalizations for them after the fact." ... show more
