Jonathan Drake, and daughter Alison, visits his brother Kenneth because he is becoming more unnerved due to a family curse. Kenneth is killed before his brother's arrival by a mysterious Indian. When Drake and Alison arrive, the funeral is in progress and later discover that Kenneth Drake's head is missing. Enter police detective Lt. Rowan, who soon discovers that the males of the Drake family have died suddenly at the age of 60 and were decapitated. An associate of the Drake family, Dr. Zurich, is the man responsible for the killings and is quick to kill Jonathan Drake before Rowan and Alison try to stop him, but must combat the supernatural of the killings even when they learn that Zurich is actually dead! Decent horror schlock from the 50's with good acting, directing, and atmosphere, but nothing really standout from similar films of the same era. My big problem is that the reason Zurich wants revenge on the Drake family is never fully explained. A good ending for the film helps the enjoyment. Rating, 7.
