Short Review

Even in 1972, Tom Selleck had a wicked mustache. This film has a decent set up for a story about witches, which is a horror film subject that rarely goes well. Selleck is a art dealer who buys a painting depicting a witch burning because one of the witches in the painting bears a strong resemblance to his wife. This sets off a mystery as to his wife and his own ancestral connections to witchcraft and from there the film also gets progressively sillier and sillier. The only reason to watch this film is to see a young, before-he-was-famous Selleck, who even in this dreck demonstrates his on-screen charisma that would later make him a star.
