A sorcerer (Paul Naschy) and his mistress (Helga Liné) are executed in the fifteenth century for their crimes, but not before they curse their executioners, including the sorcerer’s brother, and promise vengeance on their families as well. In the current day, a group that includes the descendant of the sorcerer’s brother (Paul Naschy again), dabbling with spiritualism, end up unearthing the head of the wicked wizard, which then seeks to reunite with his body and bring the threatened doom. The movie, originally titled El espanto surge de la tumba, is well worth a look for Naschy or Eurohorror fans.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 279 for 2021.
