The premise

The spirit of a vengeful female vampire is released from her grave and possesses a wealthy young woman of nobility, who preys on other women in her village.

Horror Vault's take

Set against the lush backdrop of a European estate, this 1960 European art-horror film weaves together romance and the supernatural as an ancient vampiric curse resurfaces among the living. A young noblewoman begins to change in disturbing ways after a fateful encounter, and those closest to her find themselves drawn into a web of danger and dark fascination. Director Roger Vadim infuses the film with a languid, dreamlike eroticism that sets it apart from contemporaries in the genre. Fans of classical Gothic horror will find a beautifully crafted blend of dread and desire.
