REVIEWS (1)
A series of monstrous murders in which the victims are subjected to torments reminiscent of the plagues of Egypt prophesied by Moses, throws the police into confusion. The dead are all doctors who are part of a team that was unable to save the life of a woman during an operation. The murderer is the husband of the unfortunate woman who wants to make the doctors pay dearly for their incompetence. A classic English horror from the seventies, halfway between horror settings and grotesque situations, with a Vincent Price who doesn't take himself too seriously, providing an over-the-top performance.
