And When She Was Bad... is one of those hidden gems that kind of flies under the radar but has a lot going for it if you're into offbeat horror dramas. The film dives into themes of twisted familial relationships and the dark side of desire, exploring how the past can haunt the present in unsettling ways. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the uncomfortable atmosphere that permeates the whole picture. The performances, especially from the young stepdaughter, are strikingly eerie—there's a raw edge that keeps you engaged. Plus, the practical effects sprinkled throughout are surprisingly effective for its time, pushing the boundaries of what you’d expect from a 70s horror flick.
This film has seen a few format releases but remains somewhat elusive for collectors, particularly on original media. VHS copies are more common, though even those can be hard to track down in good condition. The scarcity of quality editions keeps the interest alive among genre enthusiasts, making it a curious piece for anyone into horror from this era.
