| Melissa, an attractive Austrian college student, travels to Holfen to spend the Christmas |
| holidays at the castle of her uncle, Dr. Conrad Fisherman, but the mood she encounters |
| there is hardly festive. Her uncle's behavior is cold and furtive, and her Aunt Ingrid is |
| perpetually drunk, trying to forget the night so many years ago when Conrad caught |
| her making love with his brother Andros (Melissa's father) and murdered him. |
| Melissa's chance discovery of a photograph of her late father, whom she |
| never knew, awakens her curiosity about the past, just as Dr. Fisherman, a |
| disciple of the mad Dr. Orloff, awakens the corpse of Andros as a human |
| automaton with a high-frequency command to kill! This is the full length |
| version with sequences shot especially for French audiences. |
