Review of Season of the Witch

This early film from horror master George A. Romero is like a test run of various themes--alienation, identity, disaffectedness--that would mark his later work such as "Martin" and "Knightriders." For most of the way, it's a dated and talky production, but it ends with a tense and scary climax, which showcases Romero's brilliance in editing and directing to build maximum suspense. While one of Romero's weakest films overall, it still is interesting to watch and a lot better than its reputation would suggest.
