After The Exorcist, Linda Blair tried to make herself into a scream queen and
never once succeeded at it. Summer of Fear is just one of her
bottom-of-the-barrel horror films (originally a TV movie called Stranger in Our
House), concerning a witch who moves into poor Linda's house in the guise of a
newly orphaned cousin looking for sanctuary.
Filled with atrocious effects and a threadbare storyline that wouldn't keep an
audience watching through commercial #1, about the only memorable part of the
film is a brief cameo from Fran Drescher. Then again, this is a Wes Craven
movie... what were you expecting?
