Briefly, the
plot deals with sinister doctor who is on the verge of translating an
ancient formula which holds the secret of raising the dead. A beautiful
young girl and her deranged brother seem to somehow be involved but they
are more interested in annihilating the entire population of a countryside
mansion. Meanwhile, the rich couple who own the mansion both become sexually
involved with the gorgeous Greta.
Despite the
rather convoluted narrative, the real reason to watch is the incredible
artistic mastery of Aristide Massaccesi. After years of cinematography
work [including the incredibleWHAT
HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE?], Aristide Massaccesi - the man who
later became Joe D'Amato - was finally given the opportunity to
sit in the director's seat (note: some sources claim that his first film
was actually a Spaghetti Western called Bounty Hunter in Trinity
which was signed by 'Oskar Faradine').
