Spellbinder is a 1988 American witchcraft-themed thriller film directed by Janet Greek, starring Timothy Daly and Kelly Preston.

Miranda Reed is saved from an abusive boyfriend by Los Angeles attorney Jeff Mills and his lawyer friend and coworker Derek Clayton.

Jeff seeks the help of the police and Lieutenant Lee warns him that Miranda is wearing a necklace with the sign of a satanic cult suspected of murders and disappearances in the area.

The coven's solstice ritual features a human sacrifice on a beach where the victim has to come voluntarily, which Miranda believes is to be her.

When Jeff gets no dial tone response when he calls Brock, he gets into an emotional frenzy, ignores an important court appointment for a client, against the advice of a senior law firm partner, as he's frantic with worry for Miranda.

Derek claims to have called Lieutenant Lee who has sent local police to help them and he leaves to get them, while Jeff stealthily moves towards the beach, where the cult is having their ceremony, to save Miranda.

Miranda then stands up with a smile and confuses Jeff by seductively dancing around him, rather than running away or helping him.

The film ends with Grace's funeral; she had died under mysterious circumstances involving an accident (presumably killed by the cult in order to avoid exposure).
