The Body Beneath (1970)

In the heart of England, Reverend Alexander Algernon Ford reopens the enigmatic Old Souls Church, nestled close to the haunting shadows of Carfax Abbey. However, beneath the guise of a devout minister lies a chilling secret - he is the patriarch of an ancient vampire clan, the Ford family, desperately in need of fresh blood. His return is not fueled by faith but by a sinister plot designed to save his kind from extinction due to continuous intermarriage, which has severely diluted their bloodline. On a rain-soaked day in London, the reverend's ominous knock echoes through the Ford family home on the outskirts of Hampstead Heath. With a hunchback assistant, Spool, and three eerie green-faced ghouls at his command, Reverend Ford sets his chilling plans in motion. His unsuspecting granddaughter, Anna, becomes a vampiric pawn, used to sedate her husband, Graham, for the ghouls' blood feast. Simultaneously, the reverend's gaze lands on Susan Ford, his captivating cousin. Unbeknownst to her, sinister designs are woven around her as she is envisioned as a breeder to repopulate the dwindling vampire clan, while his docile wife Candace is turned into a private blood reserve. However, the reverend's well-laid plans encounter a hiccup when Susan's dashing boyfriend, Paul, stumbles upon the macabre plot. His daring attempt to liberate Susan plunges the Ford family into a whirlpool of complications, threatening to expose Reverend Ford's monstrous identity. Will Susan escape the chilling fate that awaits her? Will the reverend succeed in his dark designs, or will his vampire lineage crumble like a house of cards? In the shadowy corners of the Old Souls Church, a diabolical game of survival unfolds, promising to keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end.
