Reception

Author and critic John Kenneth Muir wrote:

A story of spirit possession, She Waits (1972) is one of the most long-winded and dull of the early 1970’s made-for-TV horror films. Basically, the movie sets down in the Wilson family house, and rarely leaves that setting... She Waits features no real action, no real explanation for the survival of Elaine’s spirit in the house, and no real horror, either.... [5]
