Andrew Prine stars as a young man who comes to a small island to investigate the mysterious death of his father.
Upon arriving he finds the locals to be very rude when they do not speak to him or offer directions to the local church. He is them met by Peter (Mark Damon) who offers him a place to stay as well as the help he needs getting his fathers body out from underneath a huge tomb.
Prine's character of Chris Bolton sets up a plan to get the body out but the locals, including Peter's sister Mary (Patty Sheppard) are against it because they believe that the tomb belongs to a 700 year old female vampire named Hannah.
Chris manages to get help to lift the lid off of the tomb and then get the tomb itself off of the body of his father. Doing this however actually does bring Hannah back to life and off she goes in search of blood.
Chris discovers that this was a set up by Peter all the time as he wants immortality. Now Chris has to find a way to put the sexy Hannah (Teresa Gimpera) back in her grave.
There are a lot of great scenes in this film, especially the ending involving Hannah, some villagers and a beach. The performances are all very good and it was nice to see an uncut print of the film after all the copies I have gone thru.
This has been available on many labels over the years on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray. I find this print from Sinister very serviceable and good enough. A good, and often overlooked horror film.
