Cry of the Banshee
1970 · Movie · 91 min. · United Kingdom
The puritanical magistrate Edward Whitman puts the followers of the witch Oona to the death, although deliberately spares her. She swears vengeance for this and calls up a manifestation of the Devil in the guise of the young, handsome Roderick. Roderick charms his way into Whitman’s family and starts killing them off, as though to all appearances by a wild animal.
