An evil witch gets burned at the stake, but not before vowing to return and get her revenge. A hundred years later a family arrived to spend their vacation at a summer home located in the same immediate countryside area where the witch was killed. Trouble ensues when little girl daughter Gaby finds an ugly doll that's possessed by the lethal spirit of the malevolent witch.
Low budget gothic made for TV glory that gained cult notoriety over the years from repeated cable plays - relatively tame by modern standards, but while it lacks gore, it more than compensates with a wild and occasionally unnerving tone (and a truly nightmarish doll).
