The subject is Witchcraft, not the Occult. Two seperate things methinks.

There aren't any witches in Don't Look Now.

There's a surprising number of films featuring witches (and warlocks) in major roles.

My thanks to everyone who contributed a list of their favourite witchcraft films.

The topic for this week is usually associated with David Cronenberg, but some of the films which fit in the category predate Cronenberg's work numerous filmmakers including Stuart Gordon, Brian Yuzna, and Frank Henenlotter have also made films which have contributed to this weird and wonderful subgenre.

It might be worth using this definition for reference:

"a horror film genre in which the main feature is the graphically depicted destruction or degeneration of a human body or bodies."
