The premise
Richard is a medieval nobleman. After his first wife dies in an accident and is buried in the family vault, he remarries and has children by his second wife. A mad longing for his first wife Leonor comes over him, and he sells his soul to the devil for a chance to get her back. But when she returns, she is a murderous vampire.
Horror Vault's take
In a crumbling medieval castle, a nobleman's grief for his dead wife curdles into an all-consuming obsession that drives him to make a devastating bargain with dark forces. When his longing is answered and the woman he lost returns from beyond the grave, the reunion is far from the tender reunion he imagined. Director Juan Bosch weaves a slow-burning tale of doomed desire where the line between love and damnation is perilously thin. Featuring a distinguished European cast, this 1975 Gothic fable lingers on mood and moral consequence rather than cheap shocks.
