A woman is seduced by and cast aside by a fickle lover. When the lover marries another woman who starts hallucinating during their wedding, she is accused of being a witch and thrown to her death over a cliff. A strange man rescues her, nurses her back to health, and is told that she must master black magic in order to exact vengeance on her tormentors.

Viewing Notes
Neat to finally watch the movie that inspired the more recent Indonesian film of the same name. Obviously very different approach but the core of the story is still similar with a wronged woman learning magic powers and getting revenge. What’s interesting here is that she’s aided by man who has his own ulterior motive.
