After performing a magic ritual, college student Jill (Anitra Walsh) is possessed by the spirit of a 17th century witch who seeks revenge on a descendant of the man who betrayed her.
Anitra Walsh died way too young at the age of 32 (IMDb doesn't say how), but even if she had lived a full life and actively pursued her acting career, I doubt she would have become a star if her turn as Jill in Mark Of The Witch is anything to go by: her performance is terrible (she's in good company - everyone else in the film sucks too!).
Thankfully, Anitra is quite the looker, which means that, what this hokey piece of '70s schlock lacks in talent and originality (the whole vengeful witch thing had been done ten years earlier in Bava's Black Sunday), it makes up for in eye-candy: Anitra spends most of her time in a fetching mini-dress, and even provides some brief topless nudity. For that, I'll give the film 4/10.
Best moment: Jill magically explodes a parakeet.
N.B. Look out for the cheap newspaper prop - a real newspaper which has had a new headline clumsily pasted over the original wording. Also, those two draft beers... what a waste!
