Princess Celeste LaTour is the head of a gypsy tribe she has a hidden secret that is n the verge of being discovered by the owner of a mansion he had turned into a museum of the occult. His new research has led him to the hidden tomb of the lady that once owned the mansion hidden behind a secret passageway underneath the mansion the legend goes that she was a werewolf but no one knows her whereabouts until now. On the night Dr. Charles Morris is about to show his findings to his son on his return from Washington he is mysteriously murdered. Dr. Morris's son carries out is own investigation to find the killer and piece together his father's partially destroyed notes to maybe find out who and why he was killed.
Most of the film plays out more like a cop drama rather than a horror. There is some great atmospheric scenes in the mansion the use and lighting and shadows keeps the creepy feel. The best scenes for me are in the gypsy camp every member of the tribe looks sinister even the ones just there to fill out the camp. My favourite scene was when Peter the museum tour guide was discovered emerging from the shadows in a state of shock and madness sadly the rest of the film did not reach the heights of that one scene. The one disappointment is that the werewolf is just an actual wolf but that aside it was an enjoyable film.
7/10
