Yes--I'm discussing *Coven,* which is included on the AM DVD. It's
also, BTW, available by itself on VHS.

The interesting thing about Coven is that the plot is completely
ambiguous: it can be perceived as a man's descent into madness, or as a
conventional horror movie. It's kind of clever that way. The only truly
lame thing about it is the way its title is pronounced.
