If it wasn't for the presence of Barbara Steele (perhaps the most famous female horror film star), this film would have absolutely no interest. It is extremely poorly filmed and moves at an absolute snail's pace until the last ten minutes. There's the typical amount of gruesome deaths but few frights, and it even lacks unintentional laughs to make it a cult film. There could have been a slightly interesting story of a curse which came out of the revenge of murder victims from the black plague who, vindictive over having the disease in the first place, presumably made sure other people caught the disease as well. Two sisters survive the doctor who couldn't treat them and utilized his basement as a mass grave for them. An arriving attorney reveals that he was just hired by their father (who died a year ago) to write his will which gives the hints that a ghost story is about to unfold. But there's also a plot twist surrounding his death from a year ago, and when all is revealed in the last reel, that's when the only interesting situations occur and a few chills may creep into your bones. Otherwise, the story of the black death might simply lead you into a deep sleep.
