Behind every successful man is a woman practicing Jamaican witchcraft.
Jake IsgarAug 28, 2015I love witchcraft films, and this one is a very classy affair. It's central play is "masculine" logic vs. "feminine" intuition (and magic). It's a great (if bleak) look into 60s flavored sexism and gender essentialism. Almost immediately, Janet Blair's character, Tansy,β¦
clareOct 30, 2020βLadies and gentlemen, the motion picture you are about to see contains an evil spell, as used by practitioners of witchcraft for centuries. Even today, in many parts of the world, people practiced black magic and witchcraft. Charms, amulets, voodoo candles, grave dirt, andβ¦

I wish more movies had atmosphere like this. The actors who played Norman & Tansy were great. Started out a bit slow but got more interesting as it went along, and the ending didn't disappoint.
