a family be travel through the mid west . there widower ben ( charles bateman ) and his girlfriend nicky ( ahna capri ) and ben little daughter k. t. ( geri reischl ) . then hit a town name hillsboro where everyone act more than a little strangely . their car break down and theyre force to stay . they soon find out a witch coven have a spell over the town and be up to incredible evil . the story be not that good . people just figure thing out of nothing and they just happen to find out where the witch be at the end . also there be a lot of loophole leave dangle at the end . the acting be pretty poor too . bateman and capri be bland and everybody else be about the same . only old pro strother martin and l. q. jones give good performance . still this movie do work . it forgo blood and gore ( there some but this be pg ) and mange to work with some very creepy visuals and atmosphere . the act hamper a lot of it but it still work . martin especially chew the scenery in his role . i can not explain exactly why i ( sort of ) like this movie but it do work on me . it a quiet kind of horror that isn not make anymore . hardly a masterwork but this deserve to be rediscover . a 7 .
