A lurid 1970s horror film centered on occult resurrection and predatory violence, blending supernatural dread with exploitation elements.

Isabel is a dead vampire and witch whose body is hanging in a basement while the owner tries to kidnap virgins for a sacrifice that could mean Isabel’s resurrection. But doing this won’t be easy as the women aren’t gonna give in very easily.
