Set in the 17th century during the time of the civil unrest in England that accompanied Cromwell’s Parliament against remainder forces of The Crown, “The Witchfinder General” stars Vincent Price as Witchfinder Matthew Hopkins. If you’re are like me, when you think of Vincent Price movies, you think of the absurd over-the-top melodramaticness of insubstantial Poe adaptations or the campy and fun creepiness of 1950s-60s “horror” movies like House of Wax. Both of those types of movies are far removed in “The Witchfinder General.”
