What is The Devil's Wedding Night about?

The Devil's Wedding Night is a 1973 Italian horror film directed by Luigi Batzella and Joe D'Amato about two rival brothers searching for a magic ring in Dracula's castle, where a countess lures virgins for sacrifice.

Programmer's Pick

Between diabolical rituals and a scenery-devouring countess, this is gothic Euro-horror that swings for sleaze and excess. If you're craving a castle stuffed with cleavage, ritual sacrifice, and a showoff ring, you're in prime territory.

Overview

Two brothers—one an earnest archaeologist, the other a greedy opportunist—set their sights on the legendary ring of the Nibelungen, said to grant limitless power to its holder. Their pursuit leads to the ominous Carpathian Mountains and the ancient castle of Count Dracula, where unsettling village legends warn of vampires and sacrifices. Each summer, five virgin girls are chosen by mysterious forces to be taken to the castle, never to return. Ignoring these warnings, the brothers become entwined with the castle's chilling secrets and the manipulations of a seductive, enigmatic countess. Supernatural allure, gothic castle intrigue, and a lust for power underpin this steamy slice of Italian horror.
