Logan D @Greynomad38 11/03/2023 A media obsessed, father idolizing nympho who was traumatized in her youth is suspected of murder. First off, the poster is very creative in advertising the movie. I was hoping for a real witch with a scythe that came from the sea. Nope. This is about a disturbed woman that at once loves sex but hates men. Perkins shines as the complex Mollie, creepily entwining herself into the lives of others as friend and fiend. Such a beautiful conclusion. Very strange atmosphere.

See more wayne k @RT88290232 09/11/2022 A video nasty from the 70s that I'd never heard of before, The Witch Who Came From The Sea is a relentlessly bleak examination of childhood drama and the dangers of living in a fantasy world. Much of the film's elements, including acting, writing and cinematography, look and feel like they're right out of a soap opera. I could imagine this being a particularly dark episodes of Eastenders, and the bizarre line delivery often makes it hard to take the story seriously. It's a shame, because the plot itself has a lot to offer. We see the truly horrific effects that child abuse can have on a person, but rather than just having our lead scream and cry, we see a quiet struggle taking place just below the surface. She makes bad decisions, acts violently and slowly loses her mind. It's a film that takes patience to get through, because the pacing is consistently slow. The editing is choppy, probably because of the scenes which were removed, and some parts of it often just end abruptly. I'm currently watching a few video nasties for a podcast, so it was a good to start with one I've never even heard of before. Not one I would watch again, but definitely one with a great deal of merit. See more justin t @RT08580778 02/17/2022 Oh man was this was a boring film. There was no witch and there was only a little sea at the start. There was just some crazy girl who was raped by her father when she was really young and repressed it. We find this out through dull flashback sequences. There is so little violence here that I am amazed that this was a video nasty. She has a razor blade and no imagination. Should have been an actual witch then it would live up to the misleading title. Avoid this shockingly boring movie. See more KARL O @GalwayK 06/24/2021 Possibly the worse movie I've ever seen. Definitely the worst acting. Probably thinks it had a messsge. Seriously Criterion? See more 02/10/2021 a bit uncomfortable and not in a horror movie way See more Read all reviews
