The late seventies is known for being a great period for horror, with the famous releases of that era all boasting their well-loved, recognisable style. Terror fits well into the category of campy 70’s horrors, revolving around the Garrick family who many years prior were cursed by a witch.

The witch’s last dying words as she was bound to the pyre were dedicated to casting eternal misfortune on the family of the Lord who brought her there. Generations down the line, cousins Ann and Gary are to be the first recipients of her vindictive curse.

Suddenly Ann is turning up places with mysteriously bloodstained hands, the sword that once belonged to the witch causes a couple of accidents and overall the family seem to be falling victim to a supernatural force.

Surely in that situation you would know exactly what you needed to do to fix things. The fact that a witch cursed you has been passed down your family for generations and yet you don’t think to look into lifting the curse? At that point you deserve whatever is coming to you.
