''The Witch Who Came From The Sea'' is a 1976 American PsychologicalHorror film produced and directed by Matt Cimber and starring Creator/MilliePerkins (best known for ''Film/TheDiaryOfAnneFrank''). It tells the story of Molly, a [[BrokenBird psychologically troubled]] California waitress whose unresolved sexual trauma from her [[ParentalIncest incestuously abusive]] father drives her to madness and murder. It was listed on the original list of VideoNasties but never successfully prosecuted, and nowadays is considered a CultClassic with more psychological depth and artistic ambition than your average RapeAndRevenge ExploitationFilm.
