George A. Romero’s Season of the Witch is a slow-burn feminist occult drama

Romero is obviously best known as the father of the modern zombie movie. But between inventing the genre with Night of the Living Dead and his outbreak horror, The Crazies , Romero made two much lesser-known films: There's Always Vanilla , which I'll admit I've never seen, and Season of the Witch , or, as it was originally titled, Hungry Wives . Hungry Wives was supposed to be an exploitation film.
