What critics compared The Legend of Zorro to
Dauberman's script borrows heavily from "Rosemary's Baby," with Alfre Woodard's Evelyn in the Maurice Evans role as the friend who steers Mia towards books on the occult (there is also suicide by leaping out a window, the doctor who blames Mia's pregnancy for her anxiety and an ominous baby carriage), with dollops of "The Amityville Horror" in the priest, Father Perez (Tony Amendola, "The Legend of Zorro"), who tries to help.
Though he can't do much about the film's shaky foundation, Noyce sets a brisk, no nonsense pace and works with Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Elswit and veteran editor Stuart Baird ("Casino Royale," "The Legend of Zorro") to insure that no one on or off the screen has much time for reflection.
