Synopsis

Nazis are sent to guard an old, mysterious fortress in a Romanian pass. One of them mistakenly releases an unknown force trapped within the walls. A mysterious stranger senses this from his home in Greece and travels to the keep to vanquish the force. As soldiers are killed, a Jewish man and his daughter (who are both knowledgeable of the keep) are brought in to find out what is happening.

Editorial

Why Eltorama recommends this film

Mann's second feature — Nazi soldiers wake a supernatural force in a Romanian fortress. Studio butchered it from 210 minutes to 96, and Mann has disowned the released version. What survives is mostly atmosphere — and the atmosphere is Tangerine Dream's.
