Daughters of Satan
A man buys a painting depicting witches being burned at the stake, one of whom bears an uncanny resemblance to his wife.
Why it matters
A moody, occult-tinged slow burn that blends supernatural dread with 1970s folk horror atmosphere.
- Features a rare lead turn by Tom Selleck in his early, pre-Magnum P.I. days, adding unexpected gravitas.
- The film’s eerie witchcraft narrative taps into early ’70s anxieties around female empowerment and religious paranoia.
- Practical effects and period-appropriate production design evoke a tangible, unsettling sense of cursed history.
- For fans of cult occult cinema like The Wicker Man and Burnt Offerings, it’s a hidden gem that leans more on creeping dread than shock.
