Contemporary Classic

This used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid - I think it was always on Saturday afternoons on USA or TNT or something. William Friedkin is an awesome weirdo.


An outrageously over the top film

A nanny who sacrifices babies to a pagan tree she worships is not an idea I would’ve thought of until now. While many people will understandably not like this movie, if you’re a fan of cult classics such as The Lair of the White Worm, you should definitely check this out.


A flop!!

I saw this years ago and it was the worst film I ever saw!!! OK hust for starters where in the heck could you find a druid forest in the Hollywood hills of California!?! Dont bother answering, this film isnt worth the film it was put on. The only reason I ever saw this was that when I was a kid Carey Lowel was my baby sitter. Shes an old friend of our family, I felt bad when she started making terrible films. She was much better on television. Sorry Carol
