Witchcraft. 1964.
A witch that was buried alive over 300 years ago is awoken.she begins to terrorize a village.
Lon Chaney Jr is given top billing for this film and why not, he was a well known actor and screen legend yet his character has very little screen time and when he is on screen all he does is talk louder than normal or shout. The plot is simple enough, two families have been fighting for generations and one wants to dig over a tomb of a so called witch that is a ancestor to a family that wants to stop the desocration of her tomb yet when its disturbed she rises. Yvette Rees plays the witch even though she speaks very little, her onscreen presence is haunting and frightening at the same time. This may not be a British masterpiece but this is entertaining.
