Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

The ample but well-covered attractions of (Anat Topol-Barzilai) are frequently on display in this supernatural thriller that borrows heavily from Rosemary's Baby and a number of lesser horror films. She plays a new mother who moves into her in-law's bizarre, ancient mansion. It gradually becomes clear to Grace that her husband John (Gary Sloan) and mother-in-law Elizabeth (Mary Shelly) are reincarnated witches, who plan to use her newborn in their Satanic rituals. Her increasingly powerful psychic gifts give her visions which enable her to see that the two of them were burned at the stake for their misdeeds in previous lives. In one notable scene, the pair attempt to serve her up as a human sacrifice.
