It's the early 1900's and the police and local doctor appear baffled about a series of murders and who could be committing them by the light of the full moon. A cover up comes to light when a young suicide victim is blamed for the murder of his girlfriend. His father determines to get to the bottom of it and enlists the help of his other son to investigate, and he soon hears about the legend of the Megaera. Could it be that the doctor knows who the Magaera is and why is he so protective and possessive of Carla, his assistant?A fine example of a gothic Hammer film, with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing swapping the good/bad roles. This time it's Christopher Lee who is the crusading detective and Peter Cushing is the frightened doctor, covering up the crimes. A decent horror that doesn't disappoint.
