A young man, Peter, returns to Austria in search of his heritage. There he visits the castle of an ancestor, a sadistic Baron who was cursed to a violent death by a witch whom the Baron had burned at the stake. Peter reads aloud the incantation that causes Baron Blood to return and continue his murderous tortures. There were some good scenes in this, but the build up towards the climax of the film was better than the actual ending which was kind of abrupt and anti-climatic. I’ve seen better from Bava this week alone. The film quality isn’t as good here as it is in some of his films from the 60s which doesn’t help either.
