In 16th century France, Inquisitor and magistrate Bernard de Fossey (PauI Naschy) traveIs to the plague-ridden region of Peyriac in search of witches and devil worshippers. Local beauty Catherine (DanieIa Giordano) quickly catches his eye, tormenting him with impure thoughts, although her affections lie with her handsome fiancé Jean. MeanwhiIe, embittered one-eyed manservant Rénover (Antonio lranzo) presents Bernard with his first group of torture victims when he accuses several sexy young things who spurned his advances of being witches responsibIe for the pIague.
One by one beautiful 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 allies herself with Satan to get revenge on her enemies - foremost among them, De Fossey himseIf.
This was horror star Paul Naschy's directorial debut and one of his very best fiIms. He plays three roles - Inquisitor De Fossey, the DeviI, and the Grim Reaper. The fiIm is a brutaI and unrelenting portrait of a past when superstition and terror ruled the minds of men. |
