Cry of the Banshee (1970)

I wanted to like CotB because it had Vincent being evil, using the power of his magistrate role to be enforcer of the law and simultaneously above its judgement, but overall, besides a small number of well-acted scenes, it didn't reach the heights that it was aiming for. Had I not been very much in the mood for 60s-70s horror I might even have found it boring.
The story makes reference to a Banshee but forgets to actually include one, but it’s AIP and that’s how they roll. (The Poe part is another lie.) It has witches, though, who are, of course, Satanists because in old movies there’s rarely any distinction between the two very different lifestyles.
I was surprised to see Terry Gilliam provide the opening credits. His style is unmistakable, but a little unusual for this type of thing.
