For an exhibition, a museum director receives a number of chests, one of which contains Dracula?s widow. Once out of the coffin, she reveals herself as a ruthless murderess looking for her husband, but eventually she gets the worst of it. At the time, the film seized on the popular vampire movie genre. Sylvia Kristel is Vanessa, widow of Count Dracula, in this horror film.
For Christopher Coppola, Sylvia Kristel was the first leading lady he worked with.
