We’re going all the way back in time for this episode on Michael Reeves’ Folk horror classic Witchfinder General. The final film in a promising but truncated career, it depicts the highly fictionalised exploits of the infamous Matthew Hopkins, a man of great ambition, avarice and antipathy.We discuss the time period, the plot and characters, the sound and cinematography and its eerily prescient themes. It’s a proud member the ‘Unholy Trinity’, and it’s about time we put it on trial.
