Obsession is at the heart of horror cinema, a cinema of monomaniacal maniacs, recurring nightmares, and slumbering ancient evils awakened thanks to insatiable curiosity. It only stands to reason, then, that certain horror films would themselves be the product of obsession: Anna Biller involved herself in every step of the elaborate production design of The Love Witch, and because of this you can almost feel her fingerprints on every frame of the film, which appears every bit as painstakingly fussed over and meticulously designed as the Quay Brothers’ dark, atmospheric stop-motion productions. A series celebrating horror films born of the pursuit of an all-consuming vision and made with a hands-on attention to the smallest detail that’s downright… horrifying!
