MALEFICIA is being served with a red hot poker.
Here is your film.
MALEFICIA is a French language film and it has no English subtitles so keep that in mind. Usually these obscurities come to us in their original forms so finding it with English subs is rare. That's the sacrifice you pay if you want to see stuff like this.
So this short review is from my impressions without knowing what is being said.
The film takes place during the 1860s with a family on their way to a castle somewhere in Transylvania. When the horses refuse to go any further, the coach driver wanders off for help and witnesses a Satanic sacrifice of two women. The blood raises a horde of the undead.
The family makes a mad dash for their lives and a few of them manage to make it to the castle, only to discover more crap going on with vampires in the catacombs.
What's weird is how this film decides to treat the final minutes of the film. There is a complete change in the direction of the film and you find that everything you've been following is false, but for the sake of spoiling it I wont say how exactly. I just recall thinking, "well that was interesting".
MALEFICIA is not a great film but as a piece watched simply for the gruesome gore, it should do the trick. There is a lot of grisly stuff happening and for a low budget movie, the effects are pretty good actually.
