synopsis
Several curvaceous young women are hacked to death in the Italian-Spanish Female Butcher. Anything new here? Well, the perpetrator of these atrocities is not the requisite demon-eyed male villain, but an elderly countess, played by Lucia Bose. It is Ms. Bose's contention that the only way to retain her youth and beauty is to bathe in the blood of freshly slaughtered virgins. Originally released as Ceremonia Sangrienta, Female Butcher also made the rounds as Blood Ceremony and Legend of Blood Castle.
