We dare you to take one step beyond the grave… into a world of demonic possession that will leave you breathless!

The Hanging Woman (1973) follows a man named Serge Chekov who travels to a bleak Scottish village after his wealthy uncle dies and finds his cousin murdered and hanging in a graveyard. As Serge deals with hostile relatives, occult locals and unsettling sights in the old mansion he inherits, villagers begin dying and the dead start rising from their tombs to terrorize the living. This atmospheric horror mystery combines gothic settings, eerie suspense and undead terror with bizarre characters and strange experiments in a cult European horror story.
