The premise

In seventeenth century England Lord Whitman wages unending war on what he sees as the ever-present scourge of witchcraft, and many local villagers have suffered at his hands. But one victim uses her occult powers to curse his family, enlisting unknowing help from one of the household.

Horror Vault's take

In 17th-century England, a tyrannical nobleman wages a brutal campaign against those he brands as witches, leaving a trail of suffering across the countryside. When his cruelty finally pushes a wronged woman too far, she turns her occult powers against his bloodline in a curse that strikes from within his own household. Vincent Price commands the screen as the merciless Lord Whitman, lending the film a brooding, theatrical menace rooted in period detail. What follows is a slow-burning tale of retribution where the hunter becomes the haunted.
