'The Witch Who Came From The Sea' (1976 ) - Matt Cimber.

Highly regarded exploitation film-maker Matt Cimber seems to have been unusually inspired when making one of his most idiosyncratic, and not just a little bit provocative works of progressive genre cinema, 'The Witch Who Came From The Sea'. Beautiful misfit Mollie (Millie Perkins) is a singularly attractive, free-spirited, if mentally wayward young woman. An uncommonly imaginative, almost child-like figure, a profoundly gifted fantasist, adored by children, lustily coveted by men, Mollie nightly tends bar in a rather insalubrious joint on the beach-front, her breezily nautical imaginings seemingly benign, up until a sinister series of especially gruesome killings are luridly reported; are Mollie's increasingly morbid, sexually warped fantasies being murderously manifested into a stark, and bloody reality?

Inventive genre director Cimber's deliciously deviant drama about a wickedly whimsical woman's disturbingly graphic descent into depressive derangement is a transgressive terror-trip without peer! Wherein lucid dreams, morbid monomania, and the manifestly grim realities of profound mental illness, child abuse, dangerously repressed erotomania, and teeth-rattlingly tawdry terror are sinisterly intertwined in the sublimely sin-drenched phantasmagoria 'The Witch Who Came From The Sea', with immaculate photography from legendary D.P. Dean Cundey, and a truly jolting performance by the courageously raw Millie Perkins guarantees that this is one ceaselessly fascinating, cult seaside shocker that cuts directly to the bone!
