A young woman is tormented by the belief that she is the victim of a witch's curse.

David Parkinson

Radio Times

While it lacks any sense of peril before settling for a soggily anti-climactic resolution, it excels in depicting the undercurrents of misogyny and hysteria of the time.

Rated: 3/5

This is a very fine supernatural horror thriller that somewhat comes with a Val Lewton flavor all over with plenty of eerie & atmospheric set pieces. I don't want to spoil anything but the problem is the story falls bit of balance between supernatural vs psychological horror aspects which makes some of the earlier scenes questionable at the end. But overall this is a required watch for any classic horror lover.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This is a fucking laugh-riot. I have to commend the entire movie on the basis of its ludicrous artfulness, but Nancy Kelly...emoting has never hit such heights. Postively a gem of awfulness.
