Murderous Love

About This Movie

Murderous Love is a peculiar gem from 1973 that blends dark humor with the supernatural in a way that's both offbeat and oddly compelling. The witch protagonist, who's over 300 years old, adds a bizarre charm to the narrative, especially when she agrees to carry out a dual assassination. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, but it keeps you guessing. There's a certain rawness to the practical effects, and the performances, particularly from the witch, hold this strange film together. It’s this mix of absurdity and menace that gives it a distinctive flavor, like a bizarre fairy tale gone awry. You might not find the director's name in the credits, but the film leaves a unique mark on the viewer.

Murderous Love remains somewhat elusive on physical media, with only a handful of VHS and DVD releases surfacing over the years, making it a bit of a treasure hunt for collectors. Its quirky plot and unique tone have sparked interest among those who appreciate offbeat cinema. While not widely recognized, its distinctiveness in combining horror and humor places it on the radar for niche collectors looking for something different in their collection.
