This Spanish thriller centers around a man played by Michel Piccoli whose wife Leonor (Liv Ullman) dies in an accident and on the same day he marries another beautiful woman named Catherine (Ornella Muti).
He has a couple of children with her and yet over the 10 years that pass after Leonor dies, he still misses her. One day he sells his soul to Satan to have her back and then sees her out of her tomb and walking around.
He and Leonore get back together, but it's soon discovered that she is a vampire looking for children to kill. The small village is soon overrun with the deaths of many children.
I don't know why this movie is so underrated and so obscure. It's a great, slow burn horror that eventually reaches a climax you don't expect.
Ullman and Piccoli are both great in their respective roles as the man who refuses to believe the truth about his walking dead wife and said dead wife who needs to kill children.
Check this one out if you have the chance. It's a winner.
