Editorial Reviews

The Victims who died were the lucky ones. Something horrible is happening at the old house on Mill Road. A series of ghastly ‘accidents’ has occurred near the site where a witch was drowned centuries earlier. But when an alcoholic minister and his family move into the cursed residence, an idealistic young priest (James Houghton) and a cynical police detective (Albert Salmi of EMPIRE OF THE ANTS) start their own investigation into the unexplained violence. Has the daughter of Satan returned for a rampage of vengeance? Will the laws of the Church be strong enough to cast out this blood-crazed demon? And if Evil has truly found a new home, is the entire neighborhood headed straight to Hell? Lynn Carlin (DEATHDREAM), Larry Pennell (BUBBA HO- TEP) and Heidi Bohay co-star in this gruesome tale of possession and the occult, packed with nasty splashes of awesome ‘80s gore!

5.0 out of 5 stars A little gem, September 30, 2006

This is one of those movies that you saw as a kid, thought it was the most scary movie ever, then you watch it again 20 years thinking it'll be just a load of rubbish. Wrong. This movie wastes no time in delivering.

A family move into a house by a lake fraught with a violent history and the legend of a witch thrown in. So quick do the killings happen that even the removal men get bumped off. The story, perhaps not the most original premise, is held together by human characters and a classy production. Definetly one to watch with your girlfriend. And the witch is really mean. Check out the girl having a wooden stake hammered into her head. Brutal. If you're a horror fan you have to buy this. They just don't make 'em like this anymore. A nice clean transfer in 1:1.85. Pity it's in mono.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Meanest Witch in any direction, November 18, 2006

Nathan Christian (Pitcairn, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Superstition (DVD)

I saw this as a rental years ago, and it has haunted me ever since. Packed with gore and a forboding atmosphere, this movie was one 80's slasher pic that was cool and scary at the same time. This witch is mostly out of sight most of the movie, but for her blackened, claw like hand that suddenly appears throughout to do it's violent deeds. The girl getting impaled though her head was the scariest part. Her body flopped as the spike went in while her family screamed on the floor beneath her. Now THAT was scary!
