In 1672, two witches (Jennifer and her father Daniel) were burned by puritan Jonathan Wooley. In revenge, Jennifer cursed all future generations of the Wooley family, that the sons will always marry the wrong woman and be miserable. In the 20th century, a bolt of lightning frees Jennifer and her father from the tree that had kept their souls imprisoned. Jennifer assumes corporeal form and decides to make up-and-coming politician Wallace Wooley, then unhappily engaged, even more miserable by getting him to fall in love with her before his wedding. Wallace is a straight arrow, though, and Jennifer has to resort to a love potion. As we all know, love potions tend to backfire, with comedic results.

Mtime网友：这个题材，做成这样，真的很不容易了。尤其是，影片在影像上非常有特点，大量的特写镜头、跟拍、手持，以及碎片式剪辑，营造出强烈的恐慌与不安感。这种情绪，其实就是角色在片中的情绪，它以影像的方式，最直接延伸给观众。
丢豆网网友：一个好的导演，是会调教演员的，知道演员的优势在哪里。《风流女妖》像极了一道来自异域的夏日甜品，虽然不是主菜的配置，但却也有着勾人的独特风情。坦白说，最初的确是冲着雷内·克莱尔 导演的名号看的，毕竟人家讲故事的功力摆在那里，但一开始就入了坑也是我怎么都没料到的。
豆瓣网网友：放在豆瓣语境下，是部时至今日终于拍出来的美国 “高分恐怖片”。拿现实题材拍商业类型片，社会意义摆在那，群戏也处理得相当不错。对美国 而言，这样的电影多一部是一部，走一步是一步。
