After their relatives die in a car explosion Ben and Maggie Porter inherit Crowhaven Farm in Massachusetts.Ben is an unsuccessful artist,while Maggie has been unable to conceive a child.But soon after arriving Maggie starts to be haunted by strange visions and dreams.She learns about Crowhaven Farm's past and how a witch was killed there by puritans in the 17th Century.Maggie then discovers that she is now pregnant,but at the same time the mysterious happenings surrounding them begin to increase."Crowhaven Farm" is often regarded as one of the scariest horror movies of early 70's.It's obviously influenced by Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby"(cabal of Satanists/witches,the wife becomes mysteriously pregnant).It seems also that the farm is haunted by the witch,who seeks revenge on her ancestors in the vein of "The City of the Dead".The action is slow,but there are some creepy scenes including one here Hope Lange is drawn out into the woods by sounds of crying that suddenly turn into hideous laughter.
