WHAT WE THINK:
OUR SCORE:
– Somewhat interesting.
JUST A FEW WORDS:
An enjoyable film to watch obviously in the context of the ’60s Italian Horror cinema. Death, Witch Hunts, Corruption, Power and Sex are the underlying themes. A lack of coherence is needed as part of the fun when watching these films.
PROS:
- Atmosphere.
CONS:
- Music (repetitive).
- Dialogues (whaaaat?).

Her beautiful older daughter knows the real reason for the execution lies in the lord's sexual desire for her mother. After confronting the lord on the matter, she, too, is killed. A much younger daughter is spared and taken in by her mother's killers. Once she is of age, as a horrible, deadly plague sweeps the land, she marries the lord's worthless son.
