Films like Burn, Witch, Burn.

Burn, Witch, Burn (1962) reads as Heavy, steady, measured witchcraft / british, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
