In Medieval England, a sadistic duke plots to kill off all the heirs to the throne so he can claim the crown for himself.

Why it matters

A grimy plunge into medieval cruelty that doubles as a proto-slasher with a sadistic streak and unapologetic gore.

  • Early example of British exploitation horror leaning hard into torture porn long before it was a trope.
  • Practical effects deliver grotesque, unflinching depictions of medieval brutality—no gloss, no mercy.
  • Fans of grindhouse and regional horrors will appreciate its raw, unpolished energy and grim worldview.
  • Not for the faint of heart or lovers of subtlety; this is unrelenting, visceral horror anchored in historical depravity.
