Vincent Price plays an aristocrat stalked by a sorceress who’s intent on avenging the murder of her children. Oona: Elisabeth Bergner. Patricia: Essy Persson. Mickey: Hugh Griffith. Roderick: Patrick Mower. Maureen: Hilary Dwyer. Sarah: Sally Geeson. Directed by Gordon Hessler., The inimitable Vincent Price puts an interesting spin on this otherwise pedestrian witch-hunt exercise — a rehashing of Witchfinder General (aka The Conqueror Worm) and several of Roger Corman’s numerous Poe variations from the previous decade. Here Price plays Edward Whitman, a corrupt, sadistic magistrate in 16th-century Ireland who puts a quick and deadly stop to the activities of a local Druidic coven… but not before the sect’s leader Oona (Elisabeth Bergner) puts a curse on him and the Whitman family line, calling up a vengeful spirit known as a “sidhee” which takes flesh in the form of an otherwise mild-mannered stable boy (Patrick Mower). As swift and violent retribution works its way through the Whitman family, so does this film snowball toward its bizarre and muddled conclusion — made all the more confounding by rather choppy editing. Just like Conqueror Worm and half a dozen others, this was fallaciously marketed by distributor American International Pictures as yet another adaptation of the works of Edgar Allan Poe — as if AIP hadn’t kicked Poe’s corpse around enough in the ’60s., Dark Ages horror story in which the leader of a heathen cult vows revenge on a witch-hunter. When Lord Edward Whitman destroys her temple of witchcraft, killing her two daughters in the process, high priestess Oona sets out to wreak a terrible revenge., Vincent Price plays an aristocrat stalked by a sorceress who’s intent on avenging the murder of her children.
