A blood-thirsty Transylvanian witch returns from her grave to destroy the descendants of the townsfolk who executed her. For two hundred years her corpse lies in wait at the bottom of a river. A honeymooning English couple crashes their car into the water triggering the resurrection of the witch who launches into a murderous rampage, viciously attacking her prey with whatever implements are close at hand. As the grief-stricken husband searches for his missing bride, a resident of the town informs him that the witch has used his wife's soul to come back to life and that they must perform an exorcism on the monster if they ever hope to see the young woman again. Armed only with this arcane knowledge, the two follow a trail of bloodshed and carnage to the witch's lair to banish the demonic presence and reunite the couple.
The real name of the film is “La Sorella di Satana,” and Sorella is played by Joe 'Flash' Riley. That is why we watch the film. Oh yes, there are other actors like Barbara Steele; however, no one would buy a movie because of that.
My star rating is low. However, there is no telling for taste. If you like witchy women with bad complexions, this can be a good addition to your film library.
Innocent newlywed Veronica (Barbara Steele) meets Count von Helsing (John Karlsen). Due to a little mishap, her VW goes into the lake, and she is displaced by the Witch of the Lake.
What should have been a straightforward bad witch movie turns into a slapstick auto chase with such lake-luster dialog as “Is he able to talk?”, “No, he is dead.” “Then he is obstructing justice.”
If you like the original Keystone Cops, you can appreciate this film.
They are only missing a good title song like “Get me to the lake on time.”
