Woman Who Came Back (1945). 1h 8m | Approved

“Nancy Kelly (Lorna) returns to her small town after a 2 year absence. She is on the bus into town when cackling hag Elspeth Dudgeon (Jezebel) gets on and sits next to her. This old lady seems to know Nancy and claims to be 300 years old. The next thing that happens is the bus crashes into a lake and there are no survivors. Except Nancy. What is eerier is that there is no body of the old woman, she has just disappeared and no-one believes Nancy that she even ever existed. Well, she did exist. And Nancy seems to now possess some kind of evil spirit and be in tune with the darker forces of nature. There is a reason as foretold by a curse that tells of the revenge of an innocent woman burnt at the stake after being accused of a witch – she will return after a 300 year period and take over the body of a young woman to exact revenge. Uh-oh, guess who Nancy has just had an encounter with…..u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film has great potential and a good beginning but just sort of meanders until a real let-down of an ending that doesnu0026#39;t make sense. Shame. And why is John Loder (Matt) topping the bill in this film? Itu0026#39;s Nancy Kellyu0026#39;s film – sheu0026#39;s even in the goddam title, folks! There are some nice touches and spooky sequences but the film lacks that u0026quot;kerpow!u0026quot; factor, especially with the let-down of an ending. Could have been a strong, spooky witch film. As it is, itu0026#39;s OK as something different to watch.”
