In the movie, Elaine’s narcissistic need to be loved and willingness to use the conventions of female beauty (and witchcraft) to secure love lead to the destruction of the men in her path. we are used to seeing the sexy witch or the femme fatale from the outside, I wanted to explore her from the inside.” Anna Biller
“The sexy witch is a loaded archetype that is simultaneously about men’s fears and fantasies about women, and women’s feelings of empowerment and agency. But the heightened artifice, stock characters and plot tropes prompt the viewer to think more deeply about the assumptions around gender and romantic love at the root of popular culture. On the surface, The Love Witch is a comedy-horror about a serial killer named Elaine whose obsession with romantic love drives her to lure men with witchcraft.
