It's an episode from the British TV series "Hammer House of Horror".
A film composer David Winter (Jon Finch) is unhappily living with his wife Mary (Prunella Gee) who's having an affair. One night he's home alone and a witch (Patricia Quinn) appears--it seems she transported herself from the 1600s where she was about to be burnt at the stake. She proceeds to make life hell for David--she wants him body and soul and prepares to take his wife out of the picture--permanently.
For a TV show it's very well-done. There are some beautiful sets with top-notch production values. The story is more than a little far-fetched but the cast gives it their all. Quinn and Gee are very good--Finch is just OK and Ian McCullough is pretty good in his small role.
My only complaint was the gratuitous nudity--it's not needed and was distracting.
An enjoyable 50 minute little film. Perfect viewing for a rainy day (which is how I saw it)!
