Eerie little chiller that contains one of my favourite performances ever - Linda Hayden as the devil-worshipping lolita Angel Blake. The sequence where she and her followers rape and kill an innocent classmate in a bizarre ritual is one of the most exhilarating & demented ever filmed. Unfortunately she's underused and the scenes without her are uninteresting - filled with pompous British has been actors in bad wigs.

I caught this one night on NYC television in the 70s and was astounded by its effective creepiness and eroticism. I've not seen it since, and I don't believe its available on DVD, at least not in the U.S. But it's worth a look, and may be one of the unjustly forgotten films of the 70s.

¡Qué "The Village" ni qué mis huevos! ¡Esta película es geniaaaal! Por como luce Linda Hayden, me acordé por un momento de "Erotic Witch Project", ja!
