Terror
Andy Hammond goes undercover inside Paula Booth’s world of luxury cars, private pools, and high-priced jewels. He needs her to expose a fencing operation, but Paula is clever enough to recognize the trap—and intrigued enough to keep him close. Royal descendants feel the wrath of the curse of condemned witch Mad Dolly, who spews forth her prophecy while she is burned at the stake. The victims suffer death by having their heads removed in various fashions, getting their limbs caught in animal traps, knife wounds, and other methods of medieval torture. TERROR is cult director Norman J. Warren’s love letter to 'Suspiria' (1977) and 'Black Sunday' (1960). In this film, a British movie maker’s ancestors are cursed by a dying witch whom they have burned at the stake. When the movie maker holds a wrap party for his latest film at his ancestorial home, the curse manifests itself, and members of the cast and crew start getting sliced and diced in a variety of creative “accidents”. “Witch burned at the stake before he died brutally swears revenge on the descendants of his tormentors.” The descendants of a witch-hunting family and their close friends are stalked and killed by a mysterious entity.
