ln 16th century France, lnquisitor and magistrate Bernard de Fossey (Paul Naschy) traveIs to the pIague-ridden region of Peyriac in search of witches and deviI worshippers. Local beauty Catherine (Daniela Giordano) quickly catches his eye, tormenting him with impure thoughts, although her affections Iie with her handsome fiancé Jean. MeanwhiIe, 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 responsible for the pIague.
One by one beautiful women are tortured on the rack then burned at the stake. No-one seems abIe 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 herself with Satan to get revenge on her enemies - foremost among them, De Fossey himself.
This was horror star Paul Naschy's directoriaI debut and one of his very best films. He pIays three roIes - lnquisitor De Fossey, the Devil, and the Grim Reaper. The film is a brutal and unreIenting portrait of a past when superstition and terror ruled the minds of men. |
