Tune In Tuesday: Witch Story 1989

Following the tragic death of their parents, a sister and brother take a group of friends to rural Florida to stay at a rickety old house which they’ve recently inherited. Little do the youngsters realize that some decades before, a woman suspected of being a witch was burned at the stake on the property by the zealous townsfolk. With the group settled in for a few days of drinking and partying, the demonic forces that reside in the house are quick to take hold - possessing a number of the teens and prompting them to take up knives, axes and chainsaws against their friends in an orgy of death and dismemberment. As the carnage escalates, the few remaining members of the group are forced to seek out the assistance of a local aged priest, in the hopes of putting an end to the horror.

One of a slate of Italian Made Films shot in Fla In The late 80s, it checks all the boxes: bad but memorable dialogue, A group of Teens left to there own devices to be slaughtered (by possession of there own group) gore aplenty, sex, a creepy ghost child, and a priest to fulfill the Van Helsing role . It was released in some markets as a sequel to 1982s superstition, and it really works if you imagine it as such.
