Rating: 3/4 --
For protection, American threater-goers were given a special pack of salt and words to an ancient incantation during the showing of this oddball, scary tale.

Rating: 3/5 --
O diretor Sidney Hayers consegue até criar um clima de suspense razoável, mas o roteiro absurdo (que, por incrível que pareça, se leva realmente a sério) anula seus esforços.
Cinema em Cena
Rating: 3/4 --
The majority of Sidney Hayers' career would be spent as a journeyman director for American television -- his countless credits include Galactica 1980 and Acapulco H.E.A.T. -- but he provides the right measure of sustained menace for this impressive film.

Creative Loafing
Rating: 6/10 --
It's like a full-length episode of Boris Karloff's Thriller TV series, very stylishly done.

4 stars out of 5 -- An intelligent script and solid performances receive eerie enhancement from its sinister camerawork...
Ultimate DVD
Rating: 4/5 --
Performances and tone are expertly judged and despite the odd Americanism this is a quality serving of intelligent English horror.

Probably the finest hour-and-a-half of director Sidney Hayers' long and generally undistinguished career.

Product Description:
Unfortunate scientist Norman Taylor (Peter Wyngarde) discovers that his wife (Janet Blair) may be a reborn witch. Although his skeptical mind allows for no such occurrence, he becomes increasingly suspicious as the voodoo activity around his household grows more prevalent. Folks are murdered, eagles disrupt the good doctor's study, and general havoc is unleased. It's up to Taylor to figure out who the real culprit of all the strange phenomena is. From the same team that brought you THE CONQUEROR WORM, THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM, and other midnite horror classics comes this adaption of Fritz Leiber's CONJURE WIFE. (The Gothic horror novel had been previously adapted in 1944, as WEIRD WOMAN).
