Editorial Review: 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! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Okay film . . .This movie is okay, I can't say it's a horror masterpiece, and I certainly won't care to view it again. The only thing I really liked about the film was its pristine colours -- very crisp and clear. The ending was a disappointment and sort of predictable. I can't recommend this one unless you're a die-hard horror completist. Sorry. Rating:  - 0.5 STARS: Dream of a Witch's Sabbath? Not exactly. Like others, I was intrigued by "Superstition" given the high reviews and the time period from which it originated. However, "Superstition" is not a good horror movie at all. "Superstition" is based on a decent idea though. Basically, this movie is about a supposedly haunted house that is being haunted by a witch executed back in 1692 a la Salem Witch trials, although she was not burned to death. Perhaps they should have done it right the first time around. Anyway, in "Superstition", ...

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. ... Read More Rating: - The Meanest Witch in any directionI 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 ...

Its so bad I ended up giggling through it as my husband fell asleep! Beware the reviews! I now know to rent them unless I know the movie personally!!! Browse for similar items by category:
