Films about witches tickle your nerves and excite your imagination

Remember the evil witches from the Soviet analogue of "The Wizard of Oz"? Gingemu accidentally crushed her "flying house" Ellie, and Bastind simply melted from the volley of poured on her buckets of water.

Flight in the coffin and not only

Ah, if all the witch films were so optimistic, and with the creations of Darkness and Evil, it could be so easily dealt with! The first domestic horror film is considered to be the adaptation of Gogol's "Viya". Well, suffered the same poor hero Leonid Kuravlyov bursak Homa from Infernal Pannochki! It was the brilliant role of Natalia Varley, what is her glittering, angry grin when she flew in a coffin. Until now, though the film has already been more than 4 decades, it remains one of the best "witch movies" on the list and looks with interest. What can not you say about her remake, filmed in 2006, Oleg Fesenko. There, a modern journalist, playboy Ivan, went to the American backwoods to write killer material about the paranormal events taking place in the town. Valery Nikolayev is a good actor, Yevgenia Kryukova is also not without a talent, but this film production did not produce the proper impression. The only thing that caught on was the sinister Ita Ever in the role of an old witch (it was very difficult to recognize in the actress the cute old girl Marple from The Secret of Blackbirds). The film "The Witch" was a failure! 2013 brought a couple of more films to the list of tapes about witches. This "Witch Hunters" with an uninteresting scenario (and why only Renner and Arterton in it have acted in film?). The impression was that the child was shown a beautiful candy wrapper without candy inside. Is that the witch flying impressed. And yet - the Indian thriller "The Witch". This is a gift to those who are crazy about the film industry of Bollywood, which suddenly made a 180-degree turn and removed almost the horror film instead of the usual melodrama.

Witches: Spanish and Russian

The greatest success in 2013 was achieved by the Spanish creators of the Witches of Sugar-Murdi. Choosing the place of action for the real city, where in the time of the inquisition's massacre, loud trials were held over those who were suspected of the Devil, having invented an absurd, sometimes frightening scenario in places, the authors made the same candy that everyone expected from the advertised "Witch Hunters" . With the current technical capabilities, it is possible to achieve such special effects that the famous storyteller Alexander Row, who many times invited the main negative role of the unforgettable dear George Millard, did not dream. But they saved the actor's talent and charm, and not how the hut moved on chicken legs. It's also classic movies about witches, about the main Russian folk fairy witch!

But Nicolas Cage once again did not please the fans in 2010. It was a gloomy "costume" film "The Time of Witches." We were shown the Middle Ages, the triumph of ignorance, the revelry of a terrible epidemic of plague. And a small motorcade accompanying the supposedly witch (a young girl with innocent eyes) to the place of trial over her. Not convinced! The plot is so-so, Knight Beamen in the performance of the Oscar-winning Nicholas is pale and is not remembered by anything. Ron Perlman - well, he does not need to play anything especially, the appearance is very expressive. But someone who wants to say a special thank you, it's Christopher Lee for his episode. How many roles he has behind him, including in horror films - do not count! He is 91, and he still has Jackson as Saruman. That's Respect is so Respect to the actor! In general, it's good that there are no films about witches, and even flicker among the novelties of the film distribution. It's intriguing and tickling your nerves, because you really want to believe that the supernatural world exists in parallel with ours!
