The Love Witch

Modern-day witch Elaine (Samantha Robinson) wants to be loved. In her gothic Victorian apartment, she makes spells and conducts rituals so that men will fall in love with her; however, sometimes her spells lead to dangerous results for her paramours. When Elaine finally meets her one true love, her desperation to be with him drives her to make a deadly decision.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026, this playful ode to 1960s horror and Technicolor thriller films remains acclaimed for its exploration of gender roles, Robinson’s portrayal of Elaine, and Anna Biller’s behind-the-scenes skills as director, writer, producer, composer, and production and costume designer.
