A group of vampires and satanic worshippers led by Count Sinistre (who earlier in the film has claimed Tania, a local gypsy woman as his companion, seek fresh victims in a small town in Brittany inhabited by gypsies. Baxter is on holiday with a group of friends in the town. Count Sinistre returns with Tania after being accidentally resurrected to terrorise the townspeople on All Soul's Night, and murders three of Baxter's friends. Baxter, initially sceptical of the supernatural nature of the town, becomes suspicious and stays in town with a talisman belonging to Sinistre taken from the scene of one of the murders. Sinistre pursues Baxter in an attempt to recover the talisman and murders Baxter's acquaintances along the way.

Author and film critic Leonard Maltin awarded the film two out of four stars, calling it "Intelligent, with great use of color, but flat, slow, and ultimately trivial."[3]
