The premise
In Sierra Negra, graverobbers Barraza and Mendoza steal the coffin of Count Karol de Lavud, before heading to a hospital. Barraza sees a medallion upon the coffin's opening and demands more money from Mendoza. Meanwhile, Marta González, recovering from traumatic events, works as a nurse with Dr. Saldívar. When Barraza removes the wooden stake in order to steal Lavud's medallion, the vampire returns to life and begins a crime spree, hunting down Marta to marry her.
Horror Vault's take
A daring act of grave robbery in the shadowy Sierra Negra sets loose a centuries-old evil upon the streets of Mexico City. When thieves disturb the sealed coffin of the notorious Count Karol de Lavud, they unknowingly unleash a predator with a singular, terrifying fixation. A young woman recovering in a hospital becomes the vampire's prime target, drawing doctors and hunters into a desperate race against the night. This 1958 Mexican classic delivers old-world Gothic menace with Latin American flair.
