This early Wes Craven directed made-for-tv movie features Linda Blair as a young woman named Rachel. Her cousin Julia (Lee Purcell) comes to live with her family after her parents are killed in a car wreck. Soon, Julia, who starts off as a wallflower, starts enchanting all the other family members while making Rachel's life hell. This includes stealing her boyfriend and killing her pet horse. And she does this by witchcraft. Rachel suspects something supernatural is about when she finds strange trinkets around the house and consults the local expert on lore and superstitions, a professor who ends up coincidently having a heart attack. Julia finds out that Rachel isn't her cousin after all but an impostor and a witch, who is coming into her full powers. Although they think they kill her she ends up in a different place and with a different persona at the end of the movie.
This isn't a bad movie and it's always good to see Linda Blair in a movie.
Released on DVD as SUMMER OF FEAR.
