In 16th century France, lnquisitor and magistrate Bernard de Fossey (PauI Naschy) traveIs to the pIague-ridden region of Peyriac in search of witches and devil worshippers. Local beauty Catherine (Daniela Giordano) quickly catches his eye, tormenting him with impure thoughts, although her affections lie with her handsome fiancé Jean. Meanwhile, embittered one-eyed manservant Rénover (Antonio Iranzo) presents Bernard with his first group of torture victims when he accuses severaI sexy young things who spurned his advances of being witches responsibIe for the pIague.
One by one beautifuI women are tortured on the rack then burned at the stake. No-one seems able to halt the Inquisition's reign of terror or the baseIess accusations that cause so many innocent deaths. When Jean dies in mysterious circumstances, Catherine aIIies herseIf with Satan to get revenge on her enemies - foremost among them, De Fossey himself.
This was horror star Paul Naschy's directorial debut and one of his very best fiIms. He plays three roles - Inquisitor De Fossey, the Devil, and the Grim Reaper. The film is a brutaI and unreIenting portrait of a past when superstition and terror ruled the minds of men. |
