The Witch Who Came to Cut Ya, 6 June 2007
7/10
Author: ThrownMuse from The land of the Bunyips

Millie Perkins goes from "Anne Frank" to totally whacked-out in this strange drama about a mentally disturbed chick who can't differentiate between fantasy and reality. If you're a beach-dwellin', speedo-wearin' football playin' beefcake, you're going to want to stay far away from this little lady. The DVD cover-art makes this look like a 70s fantasy-type movie, but it's really an exploration of an abused woman's madness. It's wickedly fascinating and tackles some themes that are risqué, even by 70s horror standards. If you're looking for graphic violence, this isn't for you, but any fan of psychological horror should get a kick out of this one.
