It’s a twisted story that critiques social ironies of heterosexual relationships through the eyes of a murderous witch. Through dark humor, self aware dialogue and the feminist lens, Biller reshapes a familiar trope-a witch who uses magic to make men fall for her, from the witch’s perspective. The sets and costumes, (both handmade) are beautiful and indulgent, it’s shot on 35mm film cut from the negative, but “The Love Witch” is more than a wet dream for the tarot-curious horror snobs. The 2016 film follows a young witch named Elaine (Samantha Robinson), who dramatically declares via inner-monologue, “I’m starting a new life,” as she takes a drag of a cigarette and drives down a California highway in a 1960’s red mustang.
“The Love Witch” is a campy feminist horror film writen, directed and produced by Anna Biller.
