Film Synopsis
Baron Blood (1972) follows an American student who travels to Austria and unwittingly resurrects his sadistic ancestor, a medieval baron who once tortured his victims in a castle now turned into a hotel. As the murders begin anew, he must find a way to end the curse he unleashed. This gothic horror blends atmosphere and cruelty in Mario Bava’s chilling tale of vengeance, superstition, and the persistence of evil.
