When beautiful Laureen throws a wild party at the castle which she has just inherited she is blissfully unaware that its dark cellar harbours an occult sect that is hellbent on avenging the death of Isabel who was burned at the stake 600 years earlier as a witch. The occultists satanic rituals call for the blood of virgins Could Laureen be next?
