The Red Queen Kills Seven Times

Two young siblings, Kitty and Evelyn, learn from their elderly grandfather, Tobias Wildenbruck (Rudolph Schundler), of the curse affecting their family: as the legend goes, every hundred years, their ancestor the Red Queen rises from the grave and kills seven times. Several years later, Tobias suffers a fatal heart attack, but his granddaughter Franziska (Malfatti again) believes she saw a red-cloaked woman on the premises at the time of his death. A summons is sent out to his other granddaughters, but while Kitty (Barbara Bouchet) shows up, Evelyn, supposedly staying in America, is nowhere to be seen. The shifty glances and whispered conversations between Kitty and Franziska, however, suggest that Evelyn’s non-appearance has a more sinister explanation, and, as the body count rises, the two women begin to wonder if the legend is indeed true and the Red Queen has embarked on yet another killing spree. —DVDTimes
