A surprisingly good little horror film. The direction and acting are clearly above average, the atmosphere is tense and subtly sexy, and Meredith Salenger is so beautiful that it's a wonder she never became a minor star. The film just gets a little silly in the end, when - possible spoiler - Pakula's witchcraft is reduced to an "Alien"-like mini-monster, but I guess that's to be expected when the special effects department is helmed by Chris Walas, the man who also designed "The Fly"!
