Plot

Young noblewoman Elisabeth von Salmenau (Erika Blanc) encounters a group of religious fanatics led by Balthasar von Ross (Anton Diffring) and his henchman Natas (Reggie Nalder). Her husband (Adrian Hoven) is killed and her young son Alexander (Percy Hoven) is deemed the devil's spawn.

Production

Although sold as a sequel, the film has no real connection to the first film outside of a similar time period and instances of gratuitous torture. Reggie Nalder, villain in the first film, co-stars here but plays a different character.

Release

The film was released theatrically in the United States by Hallmark Releasing, distributor of the first film, in 1974. It has been available on VHS in a multitude of releases from different companies, all varying in terms of the violent content, and never been officially released on DVD in the United States.

«Печать Дьявола 2» (англ. Mark of the Devil Part 2; оригинальное название «Ведьмы: Изнасилованные и замученные до смерти», нем. Hexen geschändet und zu Tode gequält) — западногерманский фильм, снятый в 1972 году на мюнхенской киностудии и выпущенный на экраны в 1973 году. Фильм является сиквелом фильма 1970 года «Печать Дьявола», хотя кроме похожей тематики и изображения необоснованных и жестоких пыток, фильмы напрямую не связаны. Режиссёром выступил продюсер первого фильма Адриан Ховен. Также, во второй части снялись Реджи Нолдер и Йоханнес Бузалски, сыгравшие похожие роли в первом фильме.
