"On one level, The Witch Who Came from the Sea may be seen as pure camp, an unseemly mix of weird sex scenes and over the top pop psychobabble. But it's obvious that screenwriter Robert Thom (Perkins' ex-husband, who evidently wrote the film for her, which may explain their divorce) has something considerably more literate and indeed literary on his mind. The film's constant allusions and outright references to sea mythology and the recurrent use of castration, not to mention the film's title, may lead lovers of Bulfinch's Mythology to review information on Venus. There's a somewhat desultory ambience to the film which only feeds into its often hallucinatory feeling." - Jeffrey Kauffman, Blu-ray.com
