AKA Beast of Morocco."You have come to the court of the servants of night!"
Paul Carver (William Sylvester) is a man tortured by the tragic deaths of his wife and family in a car crash, for which he blames himself. In an attempt to escape his grief he takes a business trip to Morroco to visit an archaeologist and comes under the influence of the mysterious Marisa (Aliza Gur). He is lured to her desert home, but in the morning he awakes to find it derelict! Chantal (Diane Clare), the archaeologist's assistant, tries to help snap him out of his morbid obsession with death and defeatism, chiding him for giving up on life. But who is this Marisa, does she really exist and what does she want with Paul? Will Paul choose the darkness
that is Marisa, or go to the light that is Chantal?
Lots of meandering around and dancing courtesans pad out this slight story of Vampirism and morbidity. Long on
atmosphere and suspense, short on thrills, not that that is a bad thing.
