MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedSuperstition (1982), directed by James W. Roberson, is a supernatural horror film rooted in vengeance from beyond the grave. A witch executed in 1692 vows retribution against those who condemned her and returns in the present to punish their descendants. The tone is grim and foreboding, trading on curses, dread, and inescapable fate. Themes of inherited guilt, persecution, and the past clawing into the present give the scares a fatalistic edge. With a MagicMovieScore of 6.1, it appeals to fans of early-1980s supernatural horror and stories where old crimes return to demand a reckoning across the generations.
