This
notorious Paul Naschy film opens (in a terrific, atmospheric landscape)
as sadist Alaric de Marnac - first introduced in Naschy's film HORROR
RISES FROM THE TOMB - is seen on horseback tracking down a terrified,
nude victim before beating her to death. The narrative then switches
to contemporary times as descendant Paul decides to escort his terminally
ill, wealthy wife Genevieve to his secluded childhood home (yes, the
castle of Alaric de Marnac) for a much needed break from the stress
of big city life. After a month, Genevieve's health seems to be improving
and she has gotten close to the servants and other relatives at the
manor. But the bliss doesn't last long as she is soon haunted by very
real visions of Alaric and his sadistic trek from the grave.
