Synopsis
Wolfgang Gotho, un misérable bossu, est employé à la morgue de l'hôpital de Feldkirch, en Allemagne. Lorsque son amoureuse Ilsa, une patiente aveugle et malade dont il est fou amoureux, décède de sa maladie incurable, il demande à un savant sans scrupules, le docteur Orla, de la ressusciter. Il accepte mais, en échange, le bossu doit lui ramener des morceaux de cadavres tout frais pour ses recherches jugées immorales par la fonction médicale. Alors qu'Orla installe son laboratoire dans d'anciennes galeries secrètes, Gotho, motivé par la promesse du savant, se transforme en tueur sanguinaire. Lorsqu'il découvre qu'il est manipulé par Orla, ce dernier réussit à donner vie à une créature vivante, à l'aide du Necronomicon, mais elle a faim et finit par exiger de la chair fraiche.Actors

In the near future (2018), a prisoner named Dante (William Miller) escapes from jail after having been arrested for illegally entering Spain. Forced to kill a prison guard, he is hunted down by the prison's dog, a monstrous Rottweiler police dog that sadistic prison warden Kufard (Paul Naschy) had revived and cybernetically enhanced after a fatal injury. Believing his Spanish girlfriend Ula (Irene Montala) was sent to work as a prostitute in Puerto Angel as punishment, Dante looks for her, but is exhausted by the chase and wounded by the Rottweiller. As a result, he starts having hallucinations and being haunted by the repressed memories of his and Ula's arrest. As he reaches Puerto Angel and can't find her at the brothel, he finally remembers that Ula got killed when Kufard let his dog loose on her, which led Dante to shoot the dog, which was then turned into a cyborg. Dante kills Kufard as the Rottweiler catches up with him, and they fight to the death among the burning remains of Kufard's helicopter. The morning after, firemen find the skeletons of Dante, Ula and the Rottweiler on the beach.
