The Loreley's Grasp1973
“You'll Never Sleep Alone Again!”
Directed by Amando de Ossorio
The premise
The legendary Loreley has been living for centuries in a grotto beneath the river Rhein in Germany. Every night when the moon is full, she turns into a reptile-like creature craving for human blood. When one girl after another of a nearby boarding school is killed by her, a hunter named Sigurd is engaged to kill the monster.
Horror Vault's take
Deep beneath the Rhine, a creature of ancient myth stirs with the rising full moon — and a nearby girls' boarding school is paying the price in blood. Rooted in Germanic legend, this Spanish-Italian production blends lurid monster horror with slasher-style kills as bodies begin to pile up. A rugged hunter is brought in to track and destroy whatever is stalking the night, but the line between myth and monster proves harder to cross than expected. Equal parts creature feature and gothic pulp, it delivers old-school Euro-horror atmosphere with a distinctly savage bite.
