The Story:
In the shadowed mists of 18th-century Transylvania, the hideous witch Bardella (Barbara Steele) terrorizes the village of Vaubrac until the enraged townsfolk, led by the iron-willed Count von Helsing (John Karlsen), capture and drown her in a cursed lake, vowing her evil spirit shall return for vengeance; two centuries later, a honeymooning British couple, the dashing Philip Waddell (Ian Ogilvy) and his lovely bride Lorna (Barbara Steele), arrive in the eerie modern-day village seeking respite, only to check into the decrepit inn run by the sleazy Ladislav (Mel Welles).
As the newlyweds drive their Volkswagen Beetle along a foggy road, disaster strikes when their car plunges into the fateful lake, drowning Philip and awakening the dormant curse within Lorna, who rises possessed by Bardella’s malevolent soul, transforming into a grotesque she-beast bent on bloody revenge against the descendants of her executioners, unleashing chaos upon the unsuspecting villagers with supernatural fury and unrelenting terror.
In a pulse-pounding climax of exorcism and dread, the present-day Count von Helsing (John Karlsen) confronts the rampaging she-beast in a desperate ritual to banish the ancient evil forever, blending gothic horror with spine-chilling suspense in this vintage shocker that will leave you breathless—dare you face the witch’s wrath?
