In Baron Dalmar's castle, several women are brutally murdered. The beautiful Ivana, a chemistry doctor, arrives at the castle and is convinced that the killer is the baron himself, driven by a strange form of lycanthropy. After marrying him, she begins to treat him. But perhaps the real killer is someone else... A decent horror directed by specialist Merino who revives the atmospheres and settings typical of the Italian Gothic tradition of the sixties. A bit cloying and, at times, not very fluid, it picks up thanks to the final twist (not very original, to be honest) and the decent special effects.
