Dr. Eswai comes to the creepiest of small villages to perform an autopsy on a woman who died under mysterious circumstances. The townsfolk are a quiet and mistrusty bunch and things are not looking bright for his stay at all. The actor playing Eswai does not have much of a repertoire, but he needn't one either. This is all about atmosphere, and quite effective at that. There are several memorable scenes in this, and one I remember quite vividly, must have made at least some people who watched this in the cinema lose their breaths.
Having seen but one Hammer film, I think that I can still claim this to be one of the better accomplishments of Gothic horror.
