Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting Any dive into America’s most significant era of horror TV-movies is encouraged to start here. Rated: 4/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Michelle Alexandria Eclipse Magazine Rated: 2/5 Sep 2, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jun 12, 2005 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Rated: 1/5 Jan 27, 2004 Full Review Kurt Dahlke Apollo Guide There is some small enjoyment, besides that found in wasting a few minutes with television history, in the silly, pulpy quality of the proceedings.

Cathy B Well i have,nt seen all of it, but its okay, maybe it will get better, and the girl that played in The Exorcist Linda Blair is in it. You know the feeling someone dies, and they come to stay either in a Haunted house then things start to happen etc Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review matthew d This one was an enjoyable classic witch tale w original writing. Pretty teenagerish but not bad. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review damian l It was one of Wes Craven's minor good ones and one of Linda Blair's good roles Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty solid for a 70s TV horror film. It's fairly vanilla, but that's to be expected with its limitations, but even with its restraints it's a fun and fairly intense story. Linda Blair is great as the terrorized youth. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Joel C This is a good TV movie about a changeling who practices witchcraft. The theme is one that Craven has used many times throughout his career - a teenager goes through some crazy scenario and the adults who are supposed to protect them from harm do not believe anything the teenager says. This film takes that a bit too far at times, but it makes sense because once you're under the witches spell your mind becomes foggy. I liked the film from beginning to end, the performances are well done and the story is paced nicely. Those eyes look killer! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/21 Full Review steve d Effective adaptation with Craven at the helm. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
