Product Description

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!

Customer Reviews

A little gem
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.

The Meanest Witch in any direction
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!

non-typical 80's HORROR! satisfaction
Easy to see this was done in the 80's...BUT there are very few of that era's cliche's evident. Passable acting(with a more-positive exception of the great job Finlander boy Albert Salmi does, though it is a dollar-store Charles Bronson cop character impersonation!) and very, very quick pacing. It hardly ever gets dull. Excellent slaughter scenarios(though not quite up to the gruesome par of the Italians) are quite satisfying and novel, and the story is rather a nice take on a witch's curse legend. And yes, the witch really DOES look cool, and the film-makers are wise to keep her mostly obscure....except for her wicked talons which keep showing up to cause trouble for the hapless victims. ONE fault with the film is the nigh-unbearable practice of having characters running about calling for missing characters by name...again and again....and again...and, well, YOU get the picture. But many films are guilty of this! An excellent find; true Horror fans, of any era, can't go wrong. Nothing insulting or condescending about this; it seems these film-makers really WANTED to make a Horror movie, and not just some money-making dreck!
