Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSuperstition was extremely popular on pre-cert video in the UK on the VTC label in the early 1980s. It was so popular that it actually got a subsequent cinema release in 1984, under the title "The Witch", courtesy of Bordeaux Films International. This is one of the few times a video release was followed up by a theatrical release, rather than the other way around. It was then re-released by Stablecane under the title "The Witch", again on video shortly afterward.
- GoofsDuring the flashback to 1692, as Father Andrew is getting murdered, they show his feet are shown flailing about. Problem is the materials (e.g. neoprene) used in his sandals would not be invented for another 250 years.
- Alternate versionsGerman version was cut for violence by 65 seconds to secure a FSK-18 rating, despite that, the BPjM still indexed the film from 1989-2012. The FSK-16 rated version was cut a bit further by additional 35 seconds. Only in 2013 the uncut version was granted a FSK-18 rating.

A witch of old times on the road of revenge and a "haunted" house/property - the good thing: the death toll is not a small one!
Nice little horror flick from the beginning of the 80s. No masterpiece or classic, also no Oscar material, but a good watch - if you want some horror with a good slice of nostalgia and some blood spilled on the floor. Yummy.
