Superstition (1982)

(AKA: The Witch)

My rating - 7/10

(click on images below for larger versions)

In 1692 a witch is put to death by burning. As she dies she swears vengeance on the decendants of those who are killing her.

A very popular title back in the days of VHS. This is a fun and quite gory little gem that rarely seems to get talked about much these days. We get bodies cut in half, decapitations, exploding heads, a metal spike in the head, a saw blade working its way through someones chest and more. The effects are pretty good considering it's a low budget movie. There's plenty of good, creepy atmosphere and the acting is pretty good too.

If you like supernatural horror with a healthy does of gore thrown in then this a movie you should track down. Here in the UK it was so popular on VHS that it was given a cinema release afterwards and is one of only a few titles that got that treatment.
