Bernard K Horrible movie. Don't even waste a second watching it, counting your fingers would be more fun. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/19 Full Review Audience Member Annoying, low-budget horror film serves up cannibalism, witchcraft and boredom in equal measures. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A so-bad-it's-good kind of low budget horror film, though it's not very good. A witch who was burned at the stake returns 300 years later to exact her revenge on the descendants of those who burned her. Awful acting, campy special effects and an overall poor quality all add up to some ironic entertainment value, though mostly it's just boring and doesn't really go anywhere. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member DEATH BY INVITATION IS one more whacked out hippie horror. This one from 1971 is about a witch burned at the stake 300 years earlier who seeks revenge against the male ancestors of those that killed her. A totally amazing organ score that sounds like wigged out DOORS plus a 16mm look that is simply amazing! Good times. Good times, Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I kinda dug this one, even if there's some funky plot holes in there and the opening witch death looks like it was filmed at some kinda medieval village attraction! Rental? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A bad movie that attempts to be categorized as "so-bad-it's-good" but it fails to attain such heights....which isn't saying much. I find it just bad enough to not have felt like 81 minutes of my life had been completely and utterly wasteful but it was close. Not utter devastation was felt but it was a painful experience that no one should have to go through unless you're a bad film masochist. But the few attempts at actual humor occasionally worked and while this is never scary or suspenseful (nor makes any sense), it is admirable in its noble attempts to be something. What it is I'll never know nor will I ever care to be bothered to revisit such a film again in my life. Just because almost no one has ever seen this film there is NO REASON for you to watch it.
