Old-school, slow-burn, atmospheric horror
The Witch's Mirror is a veritable cornucopia of horror themes. Over theyears, I've seen a number of very promising films ruined by an overlyambitious screenplay that tries to throw everything but the kitchensink into the plot. Fortunately, The Witch's Mirror defies the odds andmost of varied plot elements work. The movie is sort of a mixture of anItalian Gothic ghost story (like Riccardo Freda's The Ghost) and abrilliant surgeon turned mad scientist film (like Georges Franju's EyesWithout a Face) with a dash of grave robbing and devil worshipping. Thefact that director Chano Urueta was able to combine all of theseelements into an entertaining movie and effectively keep distractiveplot holes to a minimum is amazing. As my examples would seem toindicate, while The Witch's Mirror is a Mexican made film, it has adefinite European feel to it. And like its European counterparts,Urueta was able to effectively fill The Witch's Mirror with atmosphereto burn. If you're looking for that old-school, slow-burn, atmospherictype of horror, you can't go wrong with The Witch's Mirror.

Great Flic
A great Horror entry made in Mexico at a time when their film industrywas still robust and interesting. The theme of The Witch's Mirror canequally fall into the genre of supernatural just as much as horror.Either way it's a Macabre film, very well shot in black and white anddirector Chano Urueta makes excellent use of some great special effectsfor the time. Isabel Carona plays the witch who uses her magic mirrorto cast revenge on Armando Calvo, who is really great as the sinister,twisted mad-scientist of sorts. Most of the film takes place in whatappears to be a old Mexican castle although the outside of it is nevershown but it's very Gothic and atmospheric with brooding shadows aroundevery corner. The Witch's Mirror is definitely Classic Mexican Cinemaand sadly many of these films produced from this era have goneun-noticed for far too long. If you plan on seeing it I recommend youmake some popcorn, turn off the lights and enjoy this fun littlepicture from the days when Mexican cinema was still golden.

Witch's Mirror
Witch's Mirror, The (1962) *** (out of 4) Mexican horror film from director Chano Urueta about a husband whomurders his wife so that he can marry his mistress. Unfortuantly forhim, he kills her in front of a witch's mirror, which allows her spiritto come back for revenge. The first thirty minutes of this film aregreat due to Urueta making the most of his small budget. The openingsequence is brilliant and there's some great atmosphere and artdirection but things start to unravel in the final act. The first halfof the film certainly isn't original but the second half seems like amix between Eyes Without a Face and The Hands of Orlac.

A Visual Treat
This movie exemplified the best of the era. It was visually stunningfrom the cemetery, to the house, to the disfigured wife.The story also sucks you in from the start. It is about a man whomurders his wife and her ghost seeks revenge with the help hergodmother witch. This movie reminds me of several great movies of theera including Eyes Without A Face and Black Sunday. In my opinion, itexceeds both of them.The acting was first rate and the directing wonderful. This is a gemfrom Mexico and it is nice that it finally comes to DVD.A must see for fans of 1960's atmospheric horror.
