The film opens with a witch being put to death in early America while her husband is left to care for their infant daughter.
Flash ahead 17 years and we have the husband, Gideon (David McCallum) brooding over the fact that his young daughter is turning 18 in three days and that his life has been a wreck since his wife was killed.
Gideon is now blind, but he can see some changes in his daughter, Lenora. She has the usual urges teen girls have and Gideon is trying to keep her from ever meeting anyone. Coel (luscious Lana Clarkson) is the girl's caretaker, but little does anyone know she is helping Gideon's dead wife return to fulfill her vengeance.
One by one Coel kills women and uses their blood to bring the dead witch back to life. The witch, Morella wants to inhabit the body of her daughter and comes close several times. There is a great scene with Clarkson's Coel character and Diana (Maria Ford) under a waterfall.
Because this is a Jim Wynorski film, the women wear negligees and panties from the 20th century, but does anyone really notice these things? The film looks great on the Blu-ray presentation and it is hosted by Katarina Leigh Waters, and that is always a plus in my book.
Waters is not only sexy as hell, but knows her stuff and brings a lot of background to the films. Roger Corman produced this little gem, and I can easily recommend it for horror fans, Corman fans and fans of incredibly sexy women.
