Reasonable Short Story of Hammer House of Horror, 9 October 2005
6/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In the isolated Woodstock Farmer, the workaholic composer David Winter (Jon Finch) is depressed because he feels that his wife, the actress Mary (Prunella Gee), is unfaithful. In a stormy night, Lucinda Jessup (Patricia Quinn), a witch from the Seventeenth Century and former dweller of the farm, arrives in the barn and possesses David. Mary fights against Lucinda trying to recover David.

"Witching Time" is a reasonable short story of the "Hammer House of Horror" show. The screenplay and mainly the characters are not well developed and the viewer never knows, for example, the motives why Mary is having an affair with Charles, if she seems to like David. Or what happened with the dog Billy? In spite of the flaws, it entertains. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Tempo de Bruxaria" ("Witching Time")
