It seems this was made as an excuse to show plenty of nudity from two highly attractive sisters and some poorly constructed witchcraft scenes. Unlike many Hammer releases, it at least portrays sex with more then a childish giggle. Overall, this takes itself too seriously and the plot becomes too confusing towards the end. However, the dated fashion is worth a look as is the sleazy fashion photographer. Not to mention the main sisters involved, (later to be seen in the popular UK TV series 'Allo Allo').
The real-life Michelle sisters, Ann ("Psychomania") and Vicki ('Allo! 'Allo!) are an extremely delectable pair of sibling birds who strike out on their own, arriving in London. Christine (Ann M.) hooks up with a shady modelling agency run by the mysterious Sybil (sexy Patricia Haines, 'The Avengers'), and with Betty (Vicki M.) in tow, travels to a remote estate for some supposed shoots that will be done. But, of course, the agency is a front for a witches coven. Betty becomes concerned when the impressionable and headstrong Christine decides that she likes what she sees, and wants to know more about becoming a witch.
With the 1970s being a fairly relaxed time for censorship, and with interest in the occult becoming part of the public consciousness, it led to the rise of enjoyably sleazy British horror films like this one. It's rather slow at times, and not always terribly interesting, but does redeem itself with its generous doses of trashiness. Female nudity is abundant, and even when Ann isn't removing her clothes, the two lovely ladies are often to be seen wearing some very short miniskirts. To add more spice, Sybil is a lesbian with a definite interest in Christine, and who resents guys like photographer Peter (James Chase, "The Leather Boys") moving in on her.
The performances are quite entertaining throughout, with Neil Hallett ('The Newcomers') adding more than a touch of class as a kindly "doctor" who introduces Christine to the wonders of the occult. Keith Buckley ("Excalibur") plays Betty's boyfriend, determined to free her from this spooky environment.
Most of the time, the film is mildly amusing, but it does kick things into a higher gear for some climactic rituals involving disrobing. Most of the nudity in "Virgin Witch" is female, but some dudes do drop their trousers, too.
Supplemented by a rich music score by Ted Dicks, "Virgin Witch" is decent fun for people who love this era in British filmmaking.
Filmed at the same location as Norman J. Warrens' "Satan's Slave".
Six out of 10.

Watchable if only for the appearance of the delectable Patricia Haines (Mrs. Michael Caine as was), Virgin Witch also subverts some 70s clichés quite neatly.
Nice music and fairly attractive photography lift this from the mire as does the Surrey location.
Some passages and attitudes obviously grate a little with 21st Century sensibilities. Be disappointing if they didn't. But all in all a pleasant and (to this viewer at least) pretty sexy hour or so.
And who wouldn't want to wake up next to the unclad Ms Haines?
Or is it just me?

VIRGIN WITCH is about sisters, Christine and Betty (Ann and Vicki Michelle). While auditioning for a modeling job, Christine gets mixed up with the odd, leering Sybil Waite (Patricia Haines). This leads to a photo shoot for Christine, with Betty along for the experience.
Sybil takes them to a secluded estate, where the weirdness factor explodes exponentially. Of course, the title comes into play, and Sybil's eeevil plans are revealed.
VW is one of those early 1970's movies out of England, replete with one nude scene after another. Have no fear, no excuse to show naked females has been overlooked. This is one of those "art films" that our wily ancestors would have snuck off to see. Those raised on the internet will find little to see here that could possibly rise above quaint or tame. Still, it fits right in with other such films of its era.
REASONS TO WATCH: #1- There's much fun to be had in the quick camera zoom-ins to extreme facial closeups! #2- The out-of-nowhere, jazzy musical interlude at the Stag Room is actually pretty good! #3- Christine's initiation ceremony is a hoot! #4- The silliest head-flailing, body-twitching finale to any soft-core occult movie, ever! Ever!...

This is a nice piece of time-wasting British exploitation cinema with the delectable Michelle sisters becoming embroiled in witchcraft and various sexy shenanigans in a picturesque country-house setting ('filmed on location in Surrey, England').
There's a good score by Ted Dicks, including a rather seductive little tune called 'You go your way', performed by Helen Downing. And effective turns by old-hands like Neil Hallett (as the lecherous head of the coven) and Keith 'Excalibur' Buckley as the excitable investigative boyfriend. A highpoint is the scene-stealing performance by the lovely Patricia Haines ('The Night Caller') as the lesbian boss of a dodgy model agency. She, along with the sisters, disrobes in the hilarious 'initiation ritual' sequence.
Get hold of the 1993 Redempton VHS - a good, colourful print.
