Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 8/10 --
An odd, stylish, and completely absorbing witchcraft-in-the-suburbs oddity that puts hexes into the hands of academics and university wives.

Performances and tone are expertly judged and despite the odd Americanism this is a quality serving of intelligent English horror.

Interesting, but uninspired version of a great horror novel, Conjure Wife.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 6/10 --
It's like a full-length episode of Boris Karloff's Thriller TV series, very stylishly done.

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

The film is never less than gripping, and past a certain point, you have no idea where this movie is going.

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).
