- Todd DaleAugust 8, 2025Greta (Ewa Aulin) is a beautiful young woman who is abused by her brother Franz (Luciano Rossi) and left to die in childbirth by her illicit lover, the aristocrat Dr. von Ravensbrück (Giacomo Rossi). Bereft with grief, Franz reanimates his dead sister using a formula engraved on an ancient Incan medallion. Greta then returns as an undead avenging angel, reaping revenge on the Ravensbrück family and her manically possessive brother. I love it. Fell in love with Ewa Aulin when I was 12. Back in 1975 - odd, but really good movie for it time.
