Terror
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.”
