Did Kirk Morris wander into the wrong film?
5 December 2017
I swear I had to look twice to see if I was watching the wrong film. As The Witch's Brew aka Maciste alli'Inferno opened and I saw the cast members dressed like 17th century Puritans. The film continues for about 15 minutes and I'm wondering did Amazon get its signals crossed?

Just as some woman is about to be burned at the stake for being a witch in rides Kirk Morris on a horse and shirtless and buff. Certainly in a startling contrast to the solemnly dressed Scots.

Maciste is told about a cursed tree and he lifts it and discovers it's a gateway to the underworld. His mission was to find a woman burned at the stake and somehow persuade her to lift the curse she put on the place a hundred years earlier. Maciste does the usual feats of strength that are expected in a peplum picture.

The dubbing was bad in fact there are sections where there is no dubbing at all and we hear the original Italian this film was done in.

As a bad film this was one for the books. I mean Ed Wood and Arch Hall kind of bad.
