The premise

The 1800s: scholarly Karl Schiller believes he's found the ring of the Nibelungen, which holds great power. It's at Castle Dracula. His twin, Franz, a gambler, asks if vampires frighten Karl; Karl shows him an Egyptian amulet, which may protect him. Franz takes the amulet and sets out ahead of his brother, arriving at the castle first. There he finds a countess who invites him to dine. Later that night, Karl arrives. Coincidently, it's the Night of the Virgin Moon, a night that falls every fifty years and draws five virgins from the surrounding village to the castle not be heard from again. Can Karl protect his brother, find the ring, and rescue any of the women?

Horror Vault's take

Set in the shadowy 1800s, this Italian Gothic chiller follows twin brothers drawn separately to the infamous Castle Dracula in pursuit of a legendary ring of immense power. One brother arrives first and falls under the spell of a bewitching countess, while the other races to catch up — unaware of the true nature of the evil waiting inside. Their reunion coincides with a rare and ominous lunar event that lures innocent women from nearby villages to the castle, never to return. Dark atmosphere, period setting, and old-school vampire menace make this a cult favourite of European horror.
