Virgin Witch (1972)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Memorable, crazy movie

Boring

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The real-life Michelle sisters, Ann ("Psychomania") and Vicki ('Allo! 'Allo!) are an extremely delectable pair of sibling birds who strike out on their own, arriving in London. Christine (Ann M.) hooks up with a shady modelling agency run by the mysterious Sybil (sexy Patricia Haines, 'The Avengers'), and with Betty (Vicki M.) in tow, travels to a remote estate for some supposed shoots that will be done. But, of course, the agency is a front for a witches coven. Betty becomes concerned when the impressionable and headstrong Christine decides that she likes what she sees, and wants to know more about becoming a witch.With the 1970s being a fairly relaxed time for censorship, and with interest in the occult becoming part of the public consciousness, it led to the rise of enjoyably sleazy British horror films like this one. It's rather slow at times, and not always terribly interesting, but does redeem itself with its generous doses of trashiness. Female nudity is abundant, and even when Ann isn't removing her clothes, the two lovely ladies are often to be seen wearing some very short miniskirts. To add more spice, Sybil is a lesbian with a definite interest in Christine, and who resents guys like photographer Peter (James Chase, "The Leather Boys") moving in on her.The performances are quite entertaining throughout, with Neil Hallett ('The Newcomers') adding more than a touch of class as a kindly "doctor" who introduces Christine to the wonders of the occult. Keith Buckley ("Excalibur") plays Betty's boyfriend, determined to free her from this spooky environment.Most of the time, the film is mildly amusing, but it does kick things into a higher gear for some climactic rituals involving disrobing. Most of the nudity in "Virgin Witch" is female, but some dudes do drop their trousers, too.Supplemented by a rich music score by Ted Dicks, "Virgin Witch" is decent fun for people who love this era in British filmmaking.Filmed at the same location as Norman J. Warrens' "Satan's Slave".Six out of 10.

This film has a paper thin plot about two beautiful sisters who stay at a creepy English manor house on a modeling assignment and end up getting mixed up with the coven of witches that reside there. These two beauties are played by real life sisters Vicki and Ann Michelle (of 1980's BBC sitcom "Allo, Allo" fame) and the sole reason for this movie is really to see them with their clothes off, which it does very well. As for being an occult horror film then it's weak. Smutty fun.

this movie is lame... I'm an absolute rabid Hammer horror fan, and this little movie comes nowhere near their great quality(this is NOT a Hammer production). Some of the attraction of B-movies is the cheezy horror, unrealistic premises, and downright bad acting... well, the bad acting is here - and the requisite breasts & bums, but there's no actual conflict going on. Again, we don't expect fabulous scriptwriting in these films, but come on, throw us a bone here, please! Something happen already! How about the witch cult kidnaps nubile daughters from the local villages for their 'infernal rites'? Nope, no such luck... Two sisters want to break free of mum & daddy, go to the big city - one finds a modeling agency, modeling agency has witchcraft rites... that's it! Then one sister decides she wants to be High Priestess after one day in the coven, using a magic spell to kill the lesbian HPs that's been hitting on her the whole weekend(she learns fast, eh?). It's basically a few terribly inaccurate occult trappings as an excuse to show some Brit boobies... don't waste your time.

"Virgin Witch" is a rather fun and sleazy exploitation film with some good points to it.**SPOILERS**Answering a want ad, Christine Lane, (Ann Michelle) accepts an invitation to pose for a photo shoot over the weekend at a country mansion, and takes along her younger sister Betty, (Vicki Michelle) for a modeling career. When the head of the agency, Sybil White, (Patricia Haines) shows up to oversee the shoot, she starts to suspect that something is wrong with the place. Despite her sisters protestations, she investigates anyway and soon finds that her and the house's owner, Gerald Amberly, (Neil Hallett) are involved with a coven of witches that has been spawned by the clients of the agency as the newest members of the society. Stuck between furthering her career or becoming involved in their plans, she has to decide which area she wants to follow in order to leave.The News: This here was a relatively enjoyable and entertaining exploitation film. One of the things it gets right is by playing the sex and nudity angles for all their worth. The sex is mild and limited to just one scene out in the forest, and that has hardly any real erotic charge. By contest, the nudity, almost all of which comes from the sisters with only some brief glimpses of the other naked male and female witches during the Witchcraft ceremonies, keeps the viewers interest to a certain extent. Fun can also be had with the 'crazed madness and lust' that takes over the Witches during the final ceremony. No one keeps their dignity or their clothes as they all go into spasmodic body movements sporting supposedly wanton and lustful facial expressions. The scene where she bends down in front of the naked sister to take her measurements for the agency's records is charged with a genuinely erotic atmosphere. The seductive look before diving in and the utter thrill at which she reads off the numbers are the main reasons. Most of the goodness that comes from it, though, because of the plot. Both sisters go to a mansion for a photo shoot, and this requires that the new model lounge around naked on the top of the car while the other one parades around in her micro-mini-skirt and attract all the male attention. The model then is initiated into the witch's coven, which requires that she strip naked and be rubbed with oils, and then everyone else strips naked for the orgy, providing even more opportunities for nudity. Aside from the nudity present, the most inventive sequence has an 8x10 head-shot of one of them changing to a painful expression after ritually being set ablaze by the vindictive sister. It's a marvelous scene and comes off very well. However, there is some flaws present. The biggest one regards how the plot unfolds. For this type of film to work, there has to be something wrong at the estate, and how it does this doesn't produce one. After being assured that this coven never practices the dark arts, and even argues about it demanding it stay that way, it never really paints them as something to be feared. There never seems to be a credible threat to the young girls in the house. It keeps waiting for someone to feel threatened, for someone to start getting that uneasy feeling that all was not right with their too-friendly and accommodating hosts, but it never happens. One sister seems to be at one with the house immediately upon her arrival, and there's no struggle, from either her or her hosts, that she will eventually become a witch. The witches and warlocks in the house keep saying they don't want to harm anyone and they don't. The other sister, once figuring out that something is going on in the house, willing agrees to become a witch in the final ceremony. Again, no big threat is seen at the house. This basically paints a picture of a little witchcraft movie with no horror at all from the setting, making it seem like there's not even much horror at all present. The other flaw is that, once the girls arrive at the witches house, the pace slows to a crawl. There's very little in here once that happens which gets the movie rolling along, switching gears to the witchcraft story and losing the modeling angle, which was providing all the nudity and excitement up until then. It also screeches to a dead stop during the scene in which, back in London, listens to an ex-girlfriend perform a lame song in a nightclub, the whole song. It's not there for any reason but to enhance the running time, and it serves no purpose. Otherwise, this here is a really entertaining entry.The Final Verdict: A rather enjoyable sexploitation film, hitting all the required notes with enthusiasm and fun, giving it a great appeal. Highly recommended to the fans of the genre or those interested in the film while those who have no interest in the exploitation it offers will be best advised to skip the film.Rated R: Full Nudity, Violence and several sex scenes
