What does the cover look like? Is it a dude in a mask or is it green with a lady's face on the cover?

Season of the Witch. I like the film, for what it tries to be. Much like other Romero films, it is up to the viewer to decide what is really going on. Is she casting spells, or is she just using the spells as rationale for her intentions. On that level, I enjoy the film. The song Season of the Witch by Donovan was a nice touch as well.

it has a dude in a mask on the cover.
the donovan tune was a nice touch to the film, and i enjoyed the film as well just not as much as say "martin", "dawn" or what i'm watching now "day"

It's got heart ... but it's not that well made. I like what he was trying to get at though. George's stuff has an allure that I can't really explain, even when it doesn't turn out that great.

so true GAR movies do have a certian allure to them even his weaker pictures.
his movies will forever pass the test of time because of this.

It wasn't bad--it was definatly George...
I watched twice-- the recent release with "There's Always Vanilla"...


not bad, but off of what I like--but who am I--my favorite George flick is Knightriders....

It's definately not his best, but I really dig the early-GAR vibe - the editing, the cinematography, and there is one nightmare sequence in the movie that's flat out fantastic. Worth a look at least, but "The Crazies" was much better.
