The Witch Who Came From the Sea
Dir: Matt Cimber
1976
**
Matt Cimber's 1976 horror, The Witch Who Came From the Sea is disturbing but the initial disturbance for me personally was that I couldn't help but see Millie Perkins as Anne Frank. After that, the only reason I can think of as to why it was banned for so long is because it is so incredibly boring. Okay, so it is quite nasty and deserves it's 'Video nasty' label, but I can't help but think its reputation precedes it somewhat. It's the sexually aggressive content that is the reason for its infamy but sadly it looks quite tame by today's standards. I can't think of anyone I'd recommended it to, if you're into these films the chances are you've already seen it.
