The premise

In Medieval France a warlock is beheaded and his wife is tortured and executed. Hundreds of years later, an isolated group of people discover his head buried on their property. Soon it comes back to life, possessing people and using them to commit sacrifices and to search for the rest of his body.

Horror Vault's take

Centuries after a sorcerer and his consort are put to death in medieval France, their malevolent legacy refuses to stay buried. When a group retreats to a remote country estate, an unearthed relic unleashes a tide of supernatural terror that quickly spirals far beyond their control. Paul Naschy anchors this Spanish genre classic with brooding menace, blending Gothic atmosphere with visceral shocks. Fans of old-world occult horror will find plenty to savour in its escalating dread.
