You’ll be surprised just how well the title holds up as a work of pure genre entertainment. It should be considered a classic, especially in the underserved genre of witch horror.

If The Witch left you hankering for more cinematic treats featuring witches, these ten flicks should help scratch that itch.ĭRAG ME TO HELL, Alison Lohman, 2009.
