Duke
Lionello Shandwell is possessed by Byleth, the demon of incest. He is
overwhelmed by the lustful drive to seduce his sister, Barbara. However,
she is married to Giordano who recognizes the symptoms and tries to
stop the campaign. Frustrated, Lionello turns to other females for companionship
but that ends badly. Lots of naked females are mysteriously slaughtered
with a three-point blade (the legendary weapon of Byleth.)
Director
Leopoldo Savona was a filmmaker in the late-'60s/early-'70s, responsible
for 20+ films during that period, half of which were Spaghetti Westerns
(produced under the alias Leo Coleman). His most successful was the
Anthony Stephen film APOCALYPSE
JOE. Mr Savona helmed BYLETH just before
