Wes Craven’s career took a detour into the world of TV movies. His first was the Linda Blair thriller Summer of Fear.
Blair plays Rachel, a teenager living in rural California with her loving family whose life gets shaken up when her recently orphaned cousin Julia comes to live with the family. As Julia seems to become accepted by the family and locals, Rachel starts to believe Julia is a menace out to replace her.
Rachel sees a series of misfortunes that convince her that Julia is a witch and sets out to convince her skeptical friends and family.
As TV movies go, this is… okay? There are no standout performances or anything. It is also not a very special effects heavy film. It is pretty forgettable and not particularly exciting. It certainly lacks Craven’s voice.
