Crypt of the Vampire1964
“How much shock can the human brain endure before it cracks?”
Directed by Camillo Mastrocinque
The premise
Count Karnstein sends for a doctor to help his sick daughter Laura. Her nurse believes she is possessed by the spirit of a dead ancestor, Carmilla. A young woman becomes intrigued by the mysterious deaths surrounding Laura after a carriage accident outside the castle forces her to stay. They become close friends until Laura becomes convinced the spirit of Carmilla is forcing her to kill.
Horror Vault's take
Deep within a crumbling castle, a nobleman's ailing daughter falls under the shadow of a vengeful ancestral spirit, while a stranded traveller finds herself drawn into the dark legend surrounding the Karnstein bloodline. As unexplained deaths mount and an unlikely friendship blossoms, the boundary between illness, obsession, and something far more sinister begins to dissolve. Drawing on Sheridan Le Fanu's gothic novella Carmilla, this Italian-Spanish production wraps its supernatural dread in candlelit atmosphere and aristocratic gloom. Christopher Lee lends his commanding presence to a tale where the past refuses to stay buried.
