Rating of 2 stars out of 5
Radio Times

In this competent horror, Trish Van Devere inherits a house from an aunt that turns out to be haunted by a witch who looks exactly like her. The plot is thickened by a hearse that drives itself and Joseph Cotten as the local estate agent. Compared with Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, The Omen and The Amityville Horror, this wouldn't make a grasshopper jump. However, it's nicely made and features the veteran Cotten in his last major role.

Should Have Been Better

BazNorm from Surrey, 3rd March, 2005

Trish Van Devere is well cast and plays the role of recently divorced woman living in an elderly deceased aunt's house well. Joseph Cotten's talent is wasted here.

The film doesn't really fully explain what the dickens is going on in this small town.

Worth a look, but not a great.
