Just before dying, voodoo queen Pauline Christophe (Mary J. Todd McKenzie) instructs her butler (Jean Durand) to mail a handful of letters. The various recipients learn that they're related to Christophe and are requested to travel to Skull Mountain in Georgia for the reading of her will. No sooner do they arrive, however, than a mysterious robed creature begins killing them off one by one. Unable to leave the house, the survivors band together to fight what they fear is a voodoo curse.

A poorly made horror/voodoo film.

While it may have been spurred by the blaxploitation craze, the sensibilities of this odd gothic horror movie owe more to Black Sabbath than to Blackula.

Rated: 6/10

I love this movie. It has a beautiful staircase, and Xernona Clayton being a serene, dignified woman. Itâ(TM)s a fun movie. The only bad part is a nine minute voodo dance.

A few creepy moments with a touch of humor. In spite of its flaws, it was an interesting take on the haunted house genre.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
