The Devil Inside Her

In 1826 New England, the two daughters of a repressed farmer (played by director Colt) secretly fawn over a blonde farmhand. The farmer finds out about the farmhand's relationship with the younger daughter and fires him, then punishes the younger daughter. Meanwhile the older daughter, secretly in love with the farmhand hopes to win him back by invoking the Devil with the help of a forest witch.

Directed by Zebedy Colt, The Devil Inside Her leans on a strong ensemble — Jody Maxwell, Terri Hall, Dean Tait — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1977.
