The Witches of Sappho Salon

The movie begins thirty years in the past, where we see a young virgin being sacrificed at the hands of a witch named Tanith (played by Brigitte Eyes). We discover that the witches who run this salon (another female played by Elina Bellbrook and a male witch) must make this sacrifice every thirty years, but they must find a virgin who was born on a certain date at a certain time The movie jumps ahead 30 years, putting us in modern times – in which, as I'm sure you're aware, a virgin is very hard to find But one day stunning blonde Janet Fontaine (played by Elizabeth Grace) comes waltzing into the salon, and the witches finally have their prime candidate. Fortunately for Janet, she has a boyfriend (and a frustrated one, given the fact that Janet's a virgin!) who is looking out for her better interests. The question is: will he be able to unravel the mysteries of the salon before the witches seduce Janet into becoming their next victim?

Directed by Tony Marsiglia, The Witches of Sappho Salon leans on a strong ensemble — Elizabeth Grace, Brigitte Eves, Elina Bellbrook — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2003.
