Crowhaven Farm (1970)
Not What I Expected, but still entertaining
Maggie Porter (Hope Lange) inherits some property from distant relatives, causing her and her Husband, Ben, to pack up their lives and move into the isolated farm. Immediately upon arrival, Maggie can't shake the feeling that she's been there before. She knows where the secret doors are hidden and even begins recalling past-life memories. Turns out.. Not only is the land haunted, but a coven of witches have something planned for one of them. If that wasn't bad enough
Add a creepy little orphan, pacts with the devil, And John Carradine.. being creepy as usual
And you got yourselves a story for a creepy, unknown, made-for-TV movie.
The acting was surprisingly well-done Especially for a made-for-TV movie. I can't really vouch for Carradine's performance, because EVERY SINGLE FILM I've seen him in He plays the same creepy man. I consider Hope Lange and Paul Burke performances to be slightly above average But in all honesty.. They could have been Oscar-Worthy and nobody would have known. Just about everyone was out-shined by Cindy Eilbacher, who played the Creepy-As-Hell Bipolar Orphan Girl.
At first I was kind of disappointed that this was not the typical haunted house flick. I was in the mood for some atmospheric horror film that didn't rely on CGI or jump scares. Most of the 'scares' are off screen. If you don't have much imagination Or hate pacing that wasn't developed for the ADHD Generation You will be disappointed. And for God sakes When will people learn to NEVER BUY A HOUSE IF JOHN CARRADINE IS INVOLVED!
