'Witchcraft' (1988) - Robert Spera.

Wholesomely pretty, god fearing, Grace (Anat Topol-Barzilail) appears to have put her troubled, drug-addicted past behind her, and, yet, fate has other plans. After the birth of their bonny son, William, Grace, and apparently doting hubby, John (Gary Sloan) stay with John's palpably ominous mother, Elizabeth (Mary Shelley). Not long into her uneasy convalescence when the increasingly distraught young mother disturbingly discovers that very little in her new picture-perfect domesticity is quite what it appears to be!

This formulaic, conspicuously low budget Rosemary's Baby surrogate remains creakily entertaining despite its lack of originality. The capable cast proves solid, and likable, Anat Topol-Barzilail makes for a sympathetic demonically-oppressed protagonist. While light on splatter, 'Witchcraft' generates a modestly unsettling atmosphere, and these Satanic, smoke-slathered shenanigans culminate boisterously in an appropriately infernal fashion. Not without missteps, 'Witchcraft' has an endearing Hammer House of Horror meets Danielle Steel aesthetic that I found rather appealing. Not for all terror tastes, but, Robert Spara's 'Witchcraft' certainly casts a schlocky spell some may find devilishly irresistible.
