The premise

Elvira is travelling through the French countryside with her friend Genevieve, searching for the lost tomb of a medieval murderess and possible vampire, Countess Wandessa. They find a likely site in the castle of Waldemar Daninsky, who invites the women to stay as long as they like. As Waldemar shows Elvira the tomb that supposedly houses the countess, she accidentally causes the vampire to come back to life, hungrier than ever. Daninsky has a hidden secret of his own, but will it be enough to save the two girls from becoming Wandessa's next victims?

Horror Vault's take

Two young women searching the remote French countryside for the legendary tomb of a bloodthirsty medieval noblewoman stumble upon far more than historical curiosity when they accept the hospitality of the mysterious Waldemar Daninsky. Their scholarly quest inadvertently awakens a centuries-old vampire hunger that threatens to consume them both. Daninsky harbours a dark secret of his own that puts him squarely between the women and the revived Countess Wandessa. This Spanish gothic chiller pits classic monsters against each other across crumbling castle ruins and moonlit landscapes.
