The Touch of Satan

“To Love Her Is To Be Cursed!”

Jodie (Michael Berry) is a traveler who takes a brief side trip to a walnut farm in the California hills and ends up staying for Melissa (Emby Mellay), the farmer's daughter. Don Henderson, shooting in Santa Ynez in the summer of 1971, lets the courtship run slow while Melissa starts telling him about her family's dark history. A decrepit old woman lives in the house, and the longer Jodie stays, the less likely it is he gets to leave.
