Superstition
A witch put to death in 1692 swears vengeance on her persecutors and returns to the present day to punish their descendants.
Why it matters
A simmering blend of folk horror and slasher tropes that channels early ’80s regional fright with lingering dread.
- Anchored by a grimy, rain-soaked atmosphere that evokes the shadowy New England witchcraft lore at its core.
- Practical effects lean into gooey, inventive kills that recall the era’s love for tactile terror.
- For fans of occult curses and revenge narratives that tap into America’s haunted colonial past without postmodern detachment.
- Not flawless—some pacing stumbles and uneven acting—but its earnest, unpolished edge adds to its creepy charm.
