"She will not rest because she is not dead."
The film opens on Verden Fell (Vincent Price) burying his recently deceased wife, whilst the tomb is watched over by a stray cat. He subsequently meets and falls for the Lady Rowena (Elizabeth Shepherd), and they marry. But thoughts of Ligeia his first wife are never far from his mind...and the cat continues to plague the pair.
One of Corman's gothic horrors, which although entertaining, lacks the stylised atmosphere of his other Poe adaptations, due to the heavy usage of location filming, rather than the more usual studio sets.
