Bay Coven (1987)

A young married couple working in Boston move to the seemingly idyllic island community of Bay Cove. But it isn't long before she (Pamela Sue Martin) discovers that something very strange is going on in the closed community. But her husband (Tim Matheson) not only doesn't share her fears but he seems positively enthralled with the island community. Directed by Carl Schenkel, this spawn of ROSEMARY'S BABY is the kind of movie where everyone is so overtly creepy that any normal person would immediately get out but, of course, if the heroine did just that, there wouldn't be any movie! Other than one genuine jump scare at the film's end, it's a pretty lackluster effort. There is a bit of humor in the casting of Barbara Billingsley, best known as June Cleaver in LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, as the leader of a witches coven but that's about the only piece of wit in the film. The film's title later dropped the "N" from its title. With a young Woody Harrelson, Inga Swenson, Jeff Conaway (GREASE) and James Sikking.
