So, The Occult: Mysteries Of The Supernatural is this intriguing little documentary from '77, with Christopher Lee lending his gravitas to the subject. Its tone is somber, almost reverent, as it dives into various aspects of the occult—witch covens, astrology, and even astral projection. It has that classic 70s aesthetic, with pacing that allows the viewer to really absorb the material, which can feel a bit slow for some but adds to its eerie charm. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the exploration of psychic phenomena in a way that feels genuine. It’s not just a collection of spook stories; it’s a thoughtful look at the culture surrounding these practices, making it distinctively engaging for those who appreciate the oddities of that era.
This documentary short is a relatively rare find, especially on physical media. It was produced for television, so it doesn’t have the same market saturation as theatrical releases, which adds to its allure for collectors. Interest seems to grow over time, particularly among fans of the occult and Christopher Lee. The variations in format, particularly VHS and DVD editions, have their own quirks, and as a result, many collectors seek out different versions to complete their libraries.
