    • Trivia
      The scene where the "witch" flies out of the cargo compartment on the airplane took several takes. The actor couldn't easily open the cargo door on the B707, so actual airline employees were used.
    • Goofs
      Redfern asks if the farmer is Amish, and the farmer replies Mennonite. He wouldn't have known about either in Boston in 1691.
    • Quotes

      Giles Redferne: [admonishing Kassandra after stopping her crashing the car] Let your attention lie before you, not beside you.

      Kassandra: Check this! Some guy from the seventeenth century telling ME how to drive. How quick they learn!

    Just enough for an entertainment

    The base premise of the story is just so commonly found.But the final story development is quite nice for me. It stays true to the older myths and help shape the myths used in other newer movies with the similar themes.

    In my opinion, the acting just a -so-so, even for the era the movie is released in. Also, the execution of the screenplay is quite littered with unnecessary goofs and illogical things concerning continuity.

    But for an overall judgment, I think this movie is quite entertaining, worth a 6 out of 10 score. And I agree at some newer publications referring to this movie as a classic at the genre of occult horror.
