Cave Of The Living Dead ( 1965 )

Beyond the Black Mouth of the Cursed Cave Lurk the Unfleshed

The police cannot solve the mystery of seven murders, which have alarmed the inhabitants of a small village. They call in Inspector Doren of Interpol (Adrian Hoven of Mark Of The Devil and Jesus Franco´s Red Lips films), but the only clue the town´s chief constable can give his young and famous colleague is the fact that each time a murder was committed, the electric lights in the whole neighborhood went out.

The villagers believe that the murders of the young girls are linked to the vague shadows in the caves under the local castle and to the mysterious "Curse of the Green Eyes." They distrust the Inspector and offer no assistance when still another murder takes place in the village inn -- in the room next to that of the detective! -- and the body disappears. Doren moves to the castle, where Professor Adelsberg (Wolfgang Preiss from A Bridge Too Far, The Train, the 1960s Dr. Mabuse films) is carrying out some scientific studies. There he hopes to discover the secret of the caves of the living dead and unmask the culprit -- but can he save himself and the Professor´s pretty assistant, Karin, before the murderer finds them?

Originally a 1964 West German-Yugoslav production called Der Fluch der Grunen Augen ("The Curse of the Green Eyes").
