The premise

A young woman is driving alongside a lake. She has an accident and the car plunges into the water. Her body is then possessed by the spirit of an 18th-century witch who was killed by local villagers, and is bent on avenging herself on them.

Horror Vault's take

When a holiday trip to Transylvania takes a terrifying turn, a young woman's near-drowning becomes the catalyst for something far older and far darker to resurface. The vengeful spirit of an 18th-century witch — brutally dispatched by frightened villagers centuries ago — has been waiting for exactly this moment. Equal parts Gothic chiller and tongue-in-cheek horror, the film blends old-world superstition with a wry comic sensibility that sets it apart from straight-faced contemporaries. Barbara Steele's presence lends the production an unmistakable air of European dread.
