First time with this film. I wasn't feeling so hot last night so I randomly put this on thinking no big deal if I fall asleep while watching it. Holy shit was I wrong about that. Once it got going, it was impossible to turn away from the wild visuals of witches, satan, wicked clergymen, and spawn of satan. So trippy I might have to watch it again tonight! Inspired by the scene of the old witch birthing satan’s spawn. Amazing.
