Anya Taylor-Joy is an actress known for her captivating performances, memorable characters, and unique on-screen presence. One of her most notable roles is that of a witch. Whether it's in her breakout film "The Witch" or her role as Emma Woodhouse in "Emma," Taylor-Joy has established herself as a master of portraying characters with an otherworldly and mysterious quality. In "The Witch," Taylor-Joy plays Thomasin, a young girl accused of being a witch in 17th-century New England. Her performance in this film is spellbinding, as she effectively conveys the confusion, terror, and resilience of her character. As the story unfolds, Thomasin's transformation into a witch becomes increasingly apparent, and Taylor-Joy's portrayal is both haunting and mesmerizing.

Franciosa is especially energetic as Higbie, Duke shows off a few new flavors I never noticed before, and if Morrow is in, so am I. My favorite bit part is awarded to that legendary Native American actor *checks notes* Jeff Corey (Battle Beyond the Stars), who offers up an exposition dump near the end, caterpillar eyebrows and all.

Curse often plays like a stretched out Kolchak episode without Darren McGavin; and while that may seem disappointing, it still offers as much charm as Curtis can cram onto the screen.

Ha ha, it's Burl!

Hi, Burl here with a review of a TV movie! I haven’t reviewed too many of these old boys so far – This House Possessed and The Horror at 37,000 Feet are probably about it – but I usually enjoy watching them! Like This House Possessed, this is one I watched on or near its original broadcast, and it scared the terwilligers out of me! I’ve mentioned my gut-churning terror of giant spiders before, in the review of The Strange World of Planet X, I think, and it’s my belief that my viewing of Curse of the Black Widow as an impressionable young chap was the inspiration for this life-long phobia! (I’m not scared of spiders in general though, just enormous ones that might try to eat me! Ha ha!)

As in any TV movie of the era that had to stretch itself out to 104 minutes, there’s an awful lot of padding filling out this Naugahyde package, but the basic story of Curse of the Black Widow runs as follows: a glamorous mystery lady is stalking Los Angeles bars, picking up men in sport coats and then terrifying them in some unspecified manner and leaving them drained husks, often swathed in mysterious webbing! Ha ha, turns out she’s a were-spider, and hot on her trail is smooth-operating consulting detective Tony Fransciosa, well known from Death Wish II, and a gruff police investigator played by Vic Morrow from Humanoids From the Deep! Ha ha, Vic Morrow’s character is named Conti, but for some reason Fransciosa always calls him “Gully!”

Anyway, as per many TV movies and most Dan Curtis productions, there’s a lot of family drama woven into this situation, along with several strange time-wasting digressions and an often-inappropriate musical score, as well as many hideous sport coats! This is why I’m a big fan of so many Dan Curtis productions, in particular Trilogy of Terror, which was the first horror movie I ever saw, and Burnt Offerings, one of Dan’s rare theatrical efforts! (I never was a Dark Shadows fan, however – it just seemed like any other soap opera to me, with a few extra drifts of fog here and there!)

I became pretty confused about two thirds of the way through Curse of the Black Widow when a number of older ladies started showing up and the family drama bit really kicked in! I must not have been paying enough attention, because I really had no idea who was who, what their relationships to one another were and what the conflicts were all about! But being totally at sea didn’t diminish my enjoyment of the picture one bit, ha ha!

And what a cast! Vic Morrow always plays a good grouch, and Max Gail plays, yes, a disheveled cop, this time named “Rags” instead of Wojo! The mysterious old ladies are played by the likes of June Allyson and June Lockhart! Sid Caesar and Jeff Corey play two of the padding-providing ancillary characters, Pinky Tuscadero plays “Flaps,” the secretary, and there’s a great cameo from none other than Hard Boiled Haggerty, playing a man who once saw the giant spider but no one believed him!

The actual giant spider, when we finally see it at the end, is a little bit fake looking, I have to say! It’s still plenty scary though, especially when you’ve got a phobia like mine! I give Curse of the Black Widow two and a half bargain-basement arachnoid transformations!

As for that ending: Curtis lets it all hang out in a fiery climax, and if you were just sticking around to see a less than convincing monstrous arachnid, you’re in luck. Curtis makes no apologies for that either, nor does he hide it. Curse of the Black Widow has no time to wallow in its shortcomings; when you’re this busy being entertaining, why bother?

Through her performance, Taylor-Joy compels the audience to question the nature of good and evil, blurring the lines between witch and victim. In "Emma," Taylor-Joy once again embraces the role of a witch, albeit in a more metaphorical sense. As Emma Woodhouse, she possesses a manipulative and controlling nature, using her wit and charm to orchestrate the romantic lives of those around her. Like a witch, she casts spells of manipulation and influence, weaving a web of social intrigue. Taylor-Joy's portrayal of Emma highlights her versatility as an actress. Despite being a departure from her role in "The Witch," she brings the same level of intensity and conviction to the character. Her ability to seamlessly transition into different roles is a testament to her talent and range as an actress. In conclusion, Anya Taylor-Joy's portrayal of witches in films such as "The Witch" and "Emma" showcases her ability to captivate audiences with her enchanting performances. Whether playing a literal witch or embodying the essence of one in a more figurative sense, Taylor-Joy's portrayal is consistently compelling and memorable. Her talent as an actress shines through in these roles, solidifying her status as a true master of the witch character..
