Plot


Count Sinistre was put to death in the sixteenth century for his evil deeds, but rose from the dead. He later killed gypsy girl Tania, whom he then raised from the tomb and married. In 1964 he attacks again, at a small village where Paul Baxter and friends are on holiday. He murders three of Baxter's friends. Baxter, initially sceptical of the supernatural nature of the killings, becomes suspicious and stays in town with a talisman belonging to Sinistre taken from the scene of one of the murders. Sinistre pursues Baxter in an attempt to recover the talisman and murders Baxter's acquaintances along the way.

Reception


The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Unconvincing excursion into the macabre, which is consistently disagreeable but never in the least alarming."
Author and film critic Leonard Maltin awarded the film two out of four stars, calling it "Intelligent, with great use of color, but flat, slow, and ultimately trivial."
Leslie Halliwell said: "Mainly tatty shocker with a few lively scenes."
