I've Been Waiting for You (1998)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Perfect cast and a good story

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Surprisingly lifetime produced a top quality horror production film that deals with witchcraft and reincarnation.Sarah Chalke lights up the screen as she moves into the house of a witch burned at the stake and may be her future incarnated vessel, but not before placing a curse on her murderers.A killer is on the loose obsessed with the legend and picking off the descendants one by one.It does leave a few questions to consider: Did the witch steal Sarah's soul? Did the curse prevent these give individuals from moving out of town and why wait a hundred years before the grand scheme?Still it reliever a a gut punching thriller with suspense, drama and haunting imagery that stays with you for days after viewing.It reminds me of seventies flicks that aired for TV without being bloody and relying on investing in the story they are trying to tell.The acting is top notch for a caste that seemed at first to be hired on looks.I've been waiting for you is a treat for any horror fan looking for A different flavor and style to consume.Its a winner in my book.

a story about a teen witch who was burned at the stake some 300 years ago haunts a small Massachusetts town near Salem. apparently the house that our main characters are renting used to be where the witch was burned at the stake. a cast of teens are being savagely attacked by someone or something, there is this descendent's club,,which is supposed to be the 5 remaining descendent's of the people that put the witch to death.. Markie Post stars as the mom and her daughter just happens to have the same first name as the teenage witch that was burned at the stake 300 years ago,, this is a fairly decent TV movie, much better than most Hollywood fair these days. overall very good picture,, well worth watching.

I love this movie. In fact I cannot understand why The Craft was the one that most people say turned them on to Witchcraft. As this movie rocks. It is subtle, understated and extremely well acted and played out by the beautiful and talented Ms Chalke. She plays this role extremely well and kudos to Ben Foster too, another actor with a lot of parts in front of him. A great female role where the woman is not afraid, although willing to jump a few times (and who doesn't) The story was solid, a young woman moves into a house with her mum, the home of a Witch, burned by people who don't seem to get the irony of that. (Like its good to burn people and watch them die in pain, no matter what they have done)And this leads to going to a school where the cool just happened to be the ancestors of those who had burned the Witch. No wonder they are spooked (serves them right!)A place of small town minds even in the 20th Century with loads of chips and plenty of hidden secrets, in the hearts of these 'cool' kids. This is not a movie of body counts, or of blood and gore. Its about.....well watch it and see.

**SPOILERS** Uneven movie about witchcraft in a small town in Mass. that transcends three centuries. Moving into the small town of Pinecrest Sarah Zoltanne, Sarah Citalik,and her mom Mrs. Resemary Zoltanne, Markie Post, realize that the house that they bought was once the home of a women Sarah Lancaster who was burned at the stake as a witch back in 1660. Sarah is a very weird type of person dabbling in the occult and being able to make thing happen that have no scientific explanation like being able to know a person by reading his or her palm as well as having doors open and shut by themselves. At her new high-school it turns out that a number of students there are decedents of the people who immolated Sarah Lancaster back in the 17th Century. The students now feel that Sarah, Zoltanne, is the Sarah that was killed by their distant ancestors. Their also certain that she's now come back to exact vengeance on them for what they,or their the ancestors, did to her back then. The movie "I've been waiting for you" borrows a lot from the 1996 Wes Craven horror flick "Scream". With the killer running around hooded with what looks like a witch mask, unlike the skeleton mask in "Scream", and has a Freddy Kruger like claw hand as his, or her, weapon of choice. The killer targeting the offspring's of Sarah Lancasters accusers and executioners has Sarah, the present one, check up on the ancestry of those in the town of Piecrest and comes up with a clue to who the killer really is. kidnapped by the frightened high school descendants of Sarahs 17th century killers Sarah is taken outside town to be executed, by fire in order to stop the attacks on them. Only to have the real killer show up and thus exonerate her. The movie has so many loose ends that it at some point seems to be unintelligible to follow. The mysterious black cat Hecuba at first seems to have some connection to what's going on in the film but disappears, after about fifteen minutes into the movie, into thin air as if he were a phantom never to be seen again. The scene with Sarah's mom Rosemary towards the end of the film is also very confusing. With the masked killer stalking her in her house and then attacking her. Which was a bit out of character for the killer since Mrs. Zoltanne wasn't a descendant of young Sarah Lancaster's 17th century executioners, like those who the killer targeted throughout the movie. The ending sequence in "I've been waiting for you" is totally out of place, and makes no sense at all, to what we saw in the film up to then. Were given the impression that Sarah and one of the students were in some way working together in taking out the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grand children of those who killed Sarah Lancaster back in pre-Revolutionary America. And as the movie ends were chillingly told by them that their grizzly work has only begun.
