SUMMER OF FEAR started out as a 1978 made-for-TV movie, directed by LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT's Wes Craven and starring THE EXORCIST actress Linda Blair. Noting that it had performed surprisingly well in the schedules, the producers repackaged it as a theatrical movie, retitled it SUMMER OF FEAR, and released it in Europe.

How much you enjoy this one depends on your preference for American TV movies of the 1970s. I consider myself a huge fan, so I enjoyed this one, although the histrionic acting and cheesily dated nature of the production may be offputting to some; they were positives for me. The storyline is a straightforward 'cuckoo in the nest' type one, in which spoilt rich girl Linda Blair is put out of joint when her cousin joins the family after her parents are killed in a car accident.

It soon transpires that said cousin has been dabbling in witchcraft, something confirmed by a put-upon college professor (a welcome role for SHADOW OF A DOUBT's Macdonald Carey). It's one of those films where nobody believes Blair's character, forcing her to take matters into her own hands. You can hardly blame them: dressing in the frumpiest clothes imaginable and saddled with an appalling 'Afro' haircut, the Blair looks like an eyesore here and her character's a real whiner.

The supernatural elements of the narrative are limited, but there's some good stuff with spooked horses and an action-packed climax that involves car chases and cat-fights, all well handled on a low budget. The twist ending was inevitable after the release of CARRIE. Watch out for some SALEM'S LOT-style effects involving cool contact lenses. SUMMER OF FEAR may not be a great film but it sure is a fun one.

Linda Blair is this film's main draw today, but Lee Purcell is the real star of the show: at first I wasn't too sure about her, but she has the mysteriously seductive presence that her role calls for, and her performance literally gets better by the minute. This may be a Wes Craven movie, but it is also a TV movie, so it is rather tame in terms of sexuality and violence; there are few real surprises and few real thrills until the last 15 minutes and the (long awaited) catfight between Blair and Purcell. With its "evil stranger is disrupting the life of a normal happy family" plot, you could say that this film was ahead of its time; thrillers of this type didn't become popular until the early 90's, with "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" and others like it. But one look at Linda's hair will convince you that it was NOT ahead of its time in other areas. In short, rent it but don't buy it. (**)

This 1978 TV movie, Wes Craven's third horror, was based on a novel by Lois Duncan ("I Know What You Did Last Summer"). Although it's predictable, Linda Blair is a charm and the whole atmosphere quite cozy, making it worth watching.

Seeing that this was from legendary horror director Wes Craven, and starring Linda Blair (who served as the demon-possessed girl, Regan, in "The Exorcist"), I decided to give "Summer of Fear" a chance. I wasn't expecting a TV movie (which was titled "Stranger In Our House" during it's television run), but I actually ended up enjoying it.

The film centers around a teenage girl named Rachel. Rachel lives on a semi-secluded family farm in Northern California with her wealthy parents and siblings. When her mother's sister and brother-in-law die in a horrible car crash, their daughter, Julia, comes to live with them permanently. Julia seems somewhat normal, if not a little bit shy and withdrawn, but as time progresses, she puts an alluring spell over everyone she meets, and pulls all of Rachel's family and friends away from her. She begins getting close with Rachel's friends and her family, even stealing Rachel's boyfriend. After finding some strange items around the house (including burnt matches and a human tooth), Rachel discovers that Julia may be a practitioner of black magic. Now she must stop the evil witch before she launches her final assault.

Okay, okay. I have to admit, some things in this movie were a bit laughable, mostly Linda Blair's poofy, frizzed out hairdo. The acting was alright, not great, but you can't expect a whole lot from it. Linda Blair's performance was decent, if not a little whiny at times, Lee Purcell pulled off the 'mysterious cousin' archetype, and Fran Drescher even had a small role as one of Rachel's friends. The film isn't scary at all, but I will say the finale was pretty well done, although by today's standards the effects may seem a bit cartoonish. I found it interesting to see Craven directing a film of this nature in his earlier years, considering he had just done brutal horror films such as "The Hills Have Eyes" and "Last House on the Left".

To sum things up, I have to give "Summer of Fear" some credit— being a campy TV movie from the '70s, it has some chops. Although it lacked any substantial shocks or scares (except near the ending), I still found it to be a fun little piece of '70s nostalgia. Give it a look if you enjoy campy '70s horror, or if you want to see some of Craven's earlier work, because it is quite different from the films that he is most known for. All around good television terror. 7/10.

I remember seeing this movie years ago and at the time liked it. Now that I rented it years later..... I don't. This movie is about a girl who's "cousin" came to live with her after her mother died in a car wreck. They start living in the same house and as time goes by strange things start to happen to the girl (Blair) and Blair soon finds out that her cousin is a witch and is out to make Blair's life a living hell by takeing away her boyfriend as well as stealing affection away from her family. There are parts in the film that I didn't understand but you have to watch the film towards the end in order to fully comprehend it all because the ending is what the whole film is about. At times the movie is slow and Blair acts her typical horror movie role as if she does not have any other movies to star in but horror movies. What really stands out about her is the wild perm in her hair that does nothing for her character. I'm sure she looks at this now and laughs. This movie could have been better if the characters were more lively.

After Wes Craven made the groundbreaking "Last House on the Left" and "Hills Have Eyes", he fell into a bit of a rut before finally finding his footing again with the 1984 classic "A Nightmare on Elm Street". "Summer of Fear", the film I will be looking at today, is Wes Craven's third directorial effort. It's an ambitious effort to say the least but how well does a made for TV horror movie stand up 30 years last?

The story is about a girl, Rachel Bryant (Linda Blair), who lives with her wealthy family in a nice house in the hills of Northern California. After her mother's sister, brother-in-law, and housekeeper die in a horrible car crash, the couple's daughter, Julia (Lee Purcell) comes to live with them. Julia seems a little shy if anything, but as time goes on, she begins to put an alluring spell over everyone she meets, pulling all of Rachel's family and friends away from her. After finding some odd things that belong to Julia (including a human tooth and burnt hair from Rachel's dog Trickle (for the movie the dog was changed to a horse due to Blair's love of horses and the name of the horse was Sundance instead of Trickle), Rachel begins to suspect that her cousin may be a practitioner of witchcraft, and she's hell-bent on turning Rachel's life upside down. Her open disbelieved suspicions caused her to become an outcast in front of her family.

Ahh..."Summer of Fear," what a strange movie. Wes directed this voodoo/jealously movie for ABC in the summer of 1978. Well, like I said it's a very, very weird movie. The plot has something to do with this evil girl from the south that is sent to live with Linda Blair and her family after her parents die in a car accident. Of course, she's the "cousin" that no one in the family has seen in years and that no one really seems to remember. I know, I know...predictable...but try to follow me. After she is sent to live with Linda, all hell breaks loose as this evil girl tries to take over Linda's body or something (this is never really made clear). The special effects are corny, the editing choppy, and the acting is mediocre at best (wait till you see Fran "The Nanny" Dresher as Linda Blair's nasally best friend) and yet I still kinda enjoyed this picture. It's solid, fun, campy horror that never takes itself seriously. Go into it expecting a run-of-the-mill teenage made-for-TV movie and I think you may be pleasantly surprised.

Rachael Bryant's cousin, Julia comes to live with her family at the country farm, after her parents where killed in a car accident. Though during her stay, strange things begin to happen, like the horse seems to lose it around Julia and men in the Rachael's life seem to fall under her spell. She tries to convince her family and friends that there's something not quite right about Julia, but she gets dismissed as nothing more but jealously.

I was quite impressed for what is was and Craven's low-budget TV feature (after such brutally raw efforts as "The Last House on the Left" and "The Hills Have Eyes") is an earnest curio, despite its timid treatment for a wider audience. This version is the international extended cut of American TV movie "Stranger in The House" and was adapted from the novel of Lois Duncan. The seductively adorable Lee Purcell definitely casts a spell over you in her hypnotic performance as the sweetly venomous cousin Julia. In the words of Cliff Richards, "She's just a devil woman. With evil on her mind. Beware the devil woman. She's gonna get you." An engrossingly likable doll face Linda Blair (who has one puffy hairdo!) is the main attraction (five years after her demonic role in "The Exorcist") and is tailor made for the part. While, it starts off slowly and the material sticks to a fundamental pattern. Craven manages to keep it interesting by drawing you in. He rallies up the ominous tension sufficiently and feed us to some black humour, but it does seem to lose that edge created earlier on by falling into predictability and nonsensical actions (plenty of rash decisions) that creep into the latter half. This is when it also finally picks up the pace and adds the (somewhat cheesy) thrills and chills to the mixture. The laughable special effects also kick in too. The way they approach the camera-work is glaringly workable and the overwhelming music score sticks to the same close-circuit cues. And throw in one of those endings. Yeah, one of those! The performances from the rest of the cast are simply okay and an early appearance by Fran Drescher wasn't too annoying. Good lord! Maybe it was because she didn't get enough screen time to provide her irritating twang.

A compellingly solid offering without being too daring or surprising, but its Purcell and Blair's performances that makes this general item passable. Just move right in!

I am surprised that Artisan went ahead and re-released this film. I rented this from the library and honestly I am glad there was no money spent. It's BAAAAAD I mean Craven has made some bad movies like shocker and deadly friend but this movie is funny bad. Dialogue like `this is professor Jarvis our neighborhood occult expert' is actually one of the highlights.

Craven either had no ability to stage actors to seem natural or more likely he just didn't care. Linda Blair…ok the woman is vegan now so I have sympathy but got she is terrible. Fran dresher has a small cameo that is noteable only that it's werid.

Wes Craven has made a few brilliant films and wrote a great novel but he just doesn't seem to care much about how his name is abused.

I want my hour and half back.

Lois Duncan's young-adult mystery novel "Summer of Fear" gets a fine, if low-budget, television treatment, capably directed by Wes Craven. Intriguing story features an appealing Linda Blair playing popular young woman and horse-rider whose family takes in her orphaned cousin--a perplexing girl who harbors secret evil powers. Craven's pacing is careful and sneaky, drawing the viewer in while mounting Blair's suspicions with just the right touch of creepy delicacy. Lee Purcell is excellent as cousin Julia, pulling off a showy role without lapsing into camp (although the make-up and special effects near the finish are somewhat cartoonish by today's standards). A compact thriller, very well done, and Blair--as always--is charming and makes her character easily identifiable to viewers.

I just bought this on DVD ,under the title "Summer of Fear", for Halloween and I definetly think it was worth the $10 bucks I paid. It was the first time I'd jumped while watching a horror movie in a long time. I definetly would recommend it.

Wes Craven moved from New York to Los Angeles and got offered this made for television movie project starring Linda Blair based on some minor novel by Lois Duncan. Working with a real crew and real equipment, Craven made the first film in his limited body of work that feels distinctly cinematic. It's also horribly boring and awful. I'm not the biggest fan of his first two films, but at least that grungy aesthetic was in service to some effort to entertain. This feels like the most by-the-numbers approach to adapting a distinctly uncinematic novel to the screen I've ever seen, with no effort at the script stage to actually make it work as a film.

Reading a bit about the film after it was over, I found out that Craven had in mind the earlier works of Roman Polanski, like Repulsion, when he started working on this. The idea was to create a similar sense of unbearable domestic tension around small things. Well, he failed miserably at that. I think the issue at hand is that there's nothing that the film is really building up to. For a long stretch, it just feels like a girl complaining that another girl stole her boyfriend. The sense of the witchcraft is poorly handled while there seems to be no goal in place for either of the two girls at the film's center. Things just kind of happen for ninety minutes until there's a silly horror-tinged climax.

Rachel (Linda Blair) is the daughter of stockbroker Tom (Jeremy Slate) and photographer Leslie (Carol Lawrence). She has an older brother Peter (Jeff East) and a younger brother Bobby (James Jarnigan) as well as her boyfriend and horse-riding teacher Mike (Jeff McCracken). She's a quality rider and lives comfortably on the family's small ranch in California where she's generally just pretty happy with life. Into this comes Julia (Lee Purcell), her cousin after her aunt and uncle are killed in a fiery car crash that also claimed their live-in housekeeper. Things seem wrong from the start when Rachel rides up to greet her cousin on the back of her horse Sundance, but Sundance is obviously agitated by something. Now, this introductory scene where Sundance moves back and forth in Julia's presence feels wrong and awkward. Rachel rides the horse right up to the car door and seemingly makes no effort to pull Sundance back, allowing the horse to simply clop right in front of the obviously frightened Julia. It's both too obvious and too weirdly filmed while also taking too long. This is Craven telegraphing at the beginning that something isn't right with Julia. Instead of building any kind of suspense, it deflates a fair bit.

Rachel tries to ingratiate Julia into her small circle of friends, but when she suddenly breaks out into hives the day before a big community dance, Rachel has to let Mike take Julia in her place. At the dance, Mike and Julia become an item instantly, ending the romance between Rachel and her boyfriend, all while Julia continues to sleep in Rachel's bed in her own room. Things go even worse when Sundance goes nuts at a competition and breaks his leg, necessitating putting it down, much to Rachel's lament. It seems like Julia is stealing Rachel's whole life, but the movie doesn't even really seem to notice it. That's the core fault of the film, I think.

Rachel is watching her whole life fall apart in front of her eyes. This new girl takes over her room, steals her boyfriend, becomes the favorite of her parents, and possibly even does witchcraft to kill her horse. And the movie either keeps it super, super subtle or simply does not notice that this is what's happening to this girl. I think this might be a gender perception issue. The original novel was written by a woman, but the script was written by two men and the film was directed by a man. I firmly believe that it shouldn't be any kind barrier, but the inability of the film to embrace this concept of a young woman losing her life to a female competitor is a major failing.

And that would be the tension. Is she just jealous because this prettier, nicer girl is invading her life while she just makes up stuff about Julia being a witch to make herself feel better? Or is the witchcraft real? The film never embraces any kind of ambiguity around it, though. Yes, Julia is a witch. It's not really questioned in any degree. It's just brought up and then dropped a few times, again making it feel like there's no narrative momentum. There's no build up to a reveal or a threat. It just goes on long enough to the point where the full reveal just happens, and it's silly to look at.

The explosion of action that fills the final ten minutes of the film just feels like complete nonsense. It's loud and borderline incoherent, and then it's over where we get an awkward explanation by a sheriff we've never seen before who irons out the details just in case someone lost interest an hour before and didn't realize what was going on.

Really, this is kind of embarrassing. Linda Blair is okay in it, and I think she might be the highlight of the film. That's kind of sad. I don't dislike Blair at all, but she was pretty much sleepwalking through this. And she's the highlight. Sad.

This film is based on one of my favorite books from when i was younger. "Summer of Fear", which was written by Lois Duncan, who wrote many teen horror novels in the 70's. It involves a young girl (like most of Duncan's books) who finds herself confronted by the possibility that her 'dear' cousin is actually a witch hell bent on destroying her family and small circle of friends. The main reason im writing this comment is because im having a very tough time finding this film ANYWHERE. If you should happen across this review, and perhaps KNOW where i might find a copy, PLEASE...send up a smoke signal.

Wes Craven's directorial career was erratic, to say the least. After the success of low-budget shockers The Last House on The Left and The Hills Have Eyes, Craven opted to pay the bills by working on this made-for-TV chiller starring a podgy Linda Blair. Bound by broadcasting regulations, the result is a tepid and predictable affair, lacking the imagination and visceral impact of the director's previous horror films.

Blair stars as teenager Rachel Bryant, whose idyllic life gradually turns into a nightmare after her pretty cousin Julia (Lee Purcell) moves into her home, her own parents having accidentally driven off the edge of a cliff. It's not long before Julia has stolen Rachel's boyfriend Mike (Jeff McCracken), who is happy to trade up, and causes further trouble by flirting with Rachel's dad (Jeremy Slate). To add insult to injury, Julia also starts to hang out with Rachel's best friend Carolyn (Fran Drescher). So when Rachel discovers that Julia might be a witch and voices her suspicions, everyone assumes it's just a case of petty jealousy. How wrong can they be?

As things unfold exactly as you imagine they will, Craven delivers a few scenes of 'mild peril' but nothing truly scary (although Blair's huge hair, the sight of the dumpy actress crammed into a nasty pink dress, and Fran Drescher's voice are somewhat disturbing). Purcell steals the show with her 'good girl/bad girl' routine, looking lovely throughout, and going full-on evil at the end with a maniacal grin and devilish contact lenses. As if all that had gone before wasn't predictable enough, the film closes with one of those silly endings that shows that the nightmare isn't over yet. Yawn.

A teenage girl (Linda Blair)'s life is turned upside down after her cousin (Lee Purcell) moves into her house, and as time goes by, she begins to suspect that she may be a practitioner of witchcraft.

One has to go into this film with the right mindset. The idea of Linda Blair being directed by Wes Craven is enticing, but do not put your hopes too high. This is the brainchild of Max A. Keller, who wrote the script, produced it, and put his daughter Nicole in the cast. Being made for TV, Craven was shackled by producers, the network and a very limited budget.

That being said, this is actually a rather decent story. Some plot elements are a tad confusing. As revelations come out in the second half, not all of them make complete sense. And even the idea of a professor who specializes in witchcraft is strange, not to mention his living across the street.

But overall this is alright for what it is. Definitely worth checking out, especially for Craven completists. It may not be his best work, but I can safely say it is not his worst.

Well, I didn't have much hope for this one - but it actually turned out to be a big (pleasant) surprise! By 1978, director Wes Craven was best known for his brash exploitation thrillers The Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes, making this film something of a change of pace for him as not only doesn't it feature the hardcore violence of the latter two films - it's actually a 'made for TV' picture! However, in spite of that - it's actually really good! Fair enough, it doesn't break any traditions and it doesn't have a whole lot of 'bite', but the story is perfectly paced and this ensures that the director is able to keep things interesting throughout, and this is what makes Summer of Fear a cut above your average TV movie. The plot focuses on Rachel Bryant - a young girl who lives with her family somewhere in America. Her aunt and uncle are killed in a car crash one day and, other than the obvious implications of this event, it turns out to be really bad news for her as her cousin comes to stay with the family. Julia Trent is an instant hit with the household and all their friends - but her antics aren't fooling Rachel, who comes to believe that Julia is a witch.

This is the sort of story that would lend itself brilliantly to a book (the film is based on the children's novel of the same title written by Lois Duncan), but doesn't often translate well to the big screen. That makes this film an exception as despite featuring no big scares and relying entirely on the intrigue generated from the central situation, the film keeps itself going well, and the way that the story constantly hints at the witchcraft theme works very well. The film stars Linda Blair in one of her first post-Exorcist horror roles, and she does brilliantly with it. Her hair looks a bit silly throughout, but she gets over this with a nice performance in which she captures a balance between the naivety and ingenuity of her character. The rest of the cast act in support to Linda, but all give decent performances. The events leading up to the inevitable climax aren't all that terrible; but by keeping things down to earth, the film actually becomes more effective as it nicely gets into a rhythm and nothing in the film feels out of place. Even the ending, which shows the film at its most over the top, still feels rather tame in comparison to other, similar, films. Overall, I can't recommend going out of your way to find this - but if you happen across a copy, it does at least make for a fun, relaxing viewing.

Any horror movie starring Fran Drescher sounds petrifying to me, I don't care whether she stars as the supreme witch of a coven or simply appears in an insignificant supportive role. Growing up with a sister who insisted on watching that stupid show "The Nanny" over and over again, I've come to dread this unholy woman's quacking voice more than I dread all the serial killers in the entire world. My main motivation to watch "Summer of Fear" actually was the devilish bit of hope to witness Drescher die painfully on screen, but alas, this is a TV-movie so there's really not that much suffering going on. "Summer of Fear" is a modest, well-intended and remotely atmospheric little thriller, but it's far too tame to satisfy real horror fans and it honestly would have ended up in oblivion long time ago already if it weren't for the names of Wes Craven and Linda Blair parading the DVD-cover. Craven had already built up a solid reputation with the genuine 70's shockers "Last House on the Left" and "The Hills Have Eyes", and Linda Blair was undeniably one of the genre's best-selling faces since her unforgettable role in "The Exorcist". These three titles definitely qualify as rough and mature horror movies unsuitable for squeamish viewers, but here Craven and Blair team up for a "soft" story about a teenage girl who's the only one to realize her enchanting niece is really a deceptive and malignant sorceress. Sounds macabre enough, but the script actually spends most attention to the daily struggles of a prototypic teenage girl dealing with jealousy, (boy)friends, parents, sport competition, strict parents and flamboyant 70's hairstyles. The happy happy joy joy Bryant family welcomes an unexpected guest when cherubic niece Julia moves in after the sudden death of her parents in a tragic car accident. Rachel quickly suspects Julia of practicing witchcraft, but the rest of family thinks she's just jealous because Julia filched her lover and best friend and because Julia's butt isn't too fat to fit in a homemade dress. The competitive and notably hostile on screen chemistry between Linda Blair and Lee Purcell keeps the wholesome endurable – and even a bit entertaining – but "Summer of Fear" is overlong and unexciting. The conclusive 15 minutes or so are surprisingly effective (even including a bit of an unexpected twist) and suspenseful, but still they don't compensate enough for the disappointing foregoing. The infamous Fran Drescher stars as Rachel's (and subsequently Julia's) best friend Carolyn and, just in case you're wondering, that hyper-irritating nasal voice sound has been there since the late 70's already.

Stranger in Our house is a pretty good film as TV movies go. The script takes some of the best elements from Lois Duncan's great book, Summer of Fear. Linda Blair shines as the heroine, but Lee Purcell is terribly miscast as the suspicious Stranger in the House. Jenna Otrga would have been the perfect choice in a modern adaption. As stated before, the script follows the story, but loses much of the subtle shades of horror present in the novel that would have been great on screen in a better adaption with location work more in line with the novel.

Rachel was the funniest part. She looked funny, talked funny, sometimes became intolerable. But it didn't make me laugh. It made me yawn.

Considering the film is made in 1978, that is forgivable. Clearly Hollywood wasn't what it is today all the way back then. They gave it a try, they made something.

Julia - who was meant to be the witch, had some grace in her character. Rachel behaved like a disturbing teeny, which she is - in the film. The most interesting part in the film is, a witch can't be photographed. This was what drawn me towards it. Julia's photos wasn't showing her, and that was the best thing to happen in the whole film.

The film is boring, but it made me search about the author. Lois Duncan did write quite a few good stories, at least that's what it sounds like from her wiki.

It should have a remake I think. Today's directors would make a good commercial out of it.

The 1978 attempt failed.

In the 70's and 80's this film was shown a multitude of times for late-night TV. I had seen it several times, and am amused that it has now been re-packaged, to dupe a whole new generation. Yet, it is not a bad movie, if you can get past the special effects.

Yes, Linda Blair has that weird perm-thing going on; she is the daughter who suspects something is amiss with her cousin, played by Lee Purcell. The happy family as well as Ms. Blair's horse become haunted by something demonic- something unsettling. Carol Lawrence plays Blair's mother, and there is an amusing scene where Purcell flirts with Jeff East, Ms. Blair's father.

As this story was written by Lois Duncan, upon whose stories "I Know What You Did Last Summer" as well as "Killing Mr. Griffin" were turned into film, one can at least enjoy the story; and Wes Craven does an interesting job of directing this. I was never a huge fan, (I must admit that "Candyman" is a guilty pleasure) but recently saw "The Hills Have Eyes", and he does have nuance and depth which deserve mention.

Even if you are not a true horror fan, this film can be categorized as fear/suspense. If you like Wes Craven, you will definitely find this interesting, and the 70's nostalgia is an added plus!.

It's a 'Summer of Fear' for Rachel and her family when cousin Julia comes to live with them. Following the death of her parents, Julia moves to the countryside to stay with her extended family. Almost immediately after moving in, Rachel's life begins to unravel. Her parents begin to favour Julia over her, her beloved horse dies AND her boyfriend falls for her cousin Julia. Instead of chalking these horrible occurrences up to coincidence, Rachel begins to do some investigating. It's then that she discovers that Julia is in fact a witch, and is not her real cousin! With no one believing her, can Rachel save her family and herself from death at the hands of witchcraft?

'Summer of Fear' tells a good story and is enjoyable to watch, but can't get past it's "Made for TV" label. The problem with it is that it drags a bit too much (like a TV movie does), so if you don't have the patience you won't get to the really fun parts (which are at the middle-end frame). I did however think it was a good horror flick. The acting was stellar from Linda Blair as Rachel, and Lee Purcell as the witch Julia. It's frustrating to watch Julia get away with everything and basically take Rachel's place. The movie does a good job of making you root for Rachel, which is good. Sometimes a lead can be annoying, or the villain is so entertaining that you turn on the "good girl". 'Summer of Fear' however really makes you feel bad for Rachel.

I'd recommend this one for sure. It moves a little slow at the start and throughout some bits in the middle, but Blair and Purcell put in good performances and the story is a good one. There are some good location shots and creepy moments once "Julia" completely transforms into the witch she is. Check it out!

6/10
