Julias life is left in shambles after her parents and their housekeep are killed in a car crash and with no where left to go Julia moves in with her aunt and her family. Rachel Julia's cousin tries to make her new home as comfortable as possible and introduce her to her friends but something doesn't feel right about Julia but Rachel is the only one that seems to feel that way and she is largely ignored apart from one of her professors who specialises in the occult. As time goes on Rachel discovers more and more signs that her cousin may be a witch in league with the supernatural.
After reading an interview with Linda Blair yesterday I decided to seek out some of her early films luckily this one was on YouTube and seeing that Wes Craven directed this made for TV film I was extremely intrigued.
The majority of the film is building the characters and the tension between Rachel and Julia what starts as suspicion soon turns to hatered with blazing arguements between them both becoming more and more regular but Julia seems to have the family wrapped around her little finger even stealing Rachels boyfriend. Although it's a slow build I really enjoyed the film there isn't a creepy atmosphere or anything thing just an increasing feeling of annoyance with Julia and eventually I was thinking what a complete bitch
There was one scene towards the end that had me in stitches and even today in work when I think about it I can't help but laugh I wish I could say something but it's too close to the end
It does feel more like a family drama for the most part but I really liked it and the ending was fun too. I think it's worth the watch.
