After a bitter breakup with his girlfriend, a photojournalist takes an assignment to an area in the Pyrenees Mountains in northern Spain. On his way, he meets a beautiful freelance writer and convinces her to join him. They stop at an ancient hotel where they hear rumors that the nearby mountain is haunted by a coven of dangerous witches -- but they proceed to go there anyway. Until now "The Witches Mountain" has been a difficult film to see in anything approaching the way its makers intended. For complicated reasons, fully explored in the extras on the disc, the film was banned in Spain. This led to a kind of urban legend that it was a violent and misogynistic film full of scenes of sex and depravity. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it's one of the most unique films of the 1970s Spanish horror boom. It’s atmospheric, mystical and elusive - a film that lingers in your mind long after you’ve seen it. Formats: Blu-ray. Extras: Two interviews with actor John (Cihangir) Gaffari; audio commentary; trailer; full color booklet about them film and director Raúl Artigot, written by Ismael Fernandez; newly commissioned cover art from Justin Coffee.
