The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972)

Nestled in the heart of a castle, sisters Kitty and Evelyn Wildenbrück have been at odds since their earliest memories, a rivalry as ancient as the stone walls surrounding them. The castle, an imposing relic of their grandfather Tobias Wildenbrück, harbors a chilling family legend. Rumor has it, a familial curse resurfaces every century, turning one sister into a harbinger of death, claiming seven lives, with the other sister being the final sacrifice. As the sisters age, their animosity reaches a boiling point, leading Kitty to unintentionally kill Evelyn during a heated encounter. Desperate to cover up the act, their sister Franziska and her husband Herbert shroud Evelyn's body within the castle's forgotten dungeon chambers, fabricating a story about Evelyn starting a new life in the United States. However, following Tobias' unexpected death, the castle's secrets begin to unravel as the family, under the scrutiny of the will's stipulations, must wait a year to discover their inheritance. Meanwhile, Kitty continues to navigate the high-stakes world of fashion photography at Springe, together with her boyfriend Martin Hoffmann, the company's vice-director. A sudden wave of murders, seemingly executed by a mysterious woman clad in a red cloak, begins to target their close-knit circle. The figure, bearing a striking resemblance to Evelyn, leaves a trail of blood that has the police inspector casting suspicious eyes on Kitty and Martin. Could this be the manifestation of the prophesied Red Queen, the ancestral specter said to claim seven lives every hundred years, or is it a more earthly evil at play? As the terror intensifies and the body count rises, the sisters must confront their past to unlock the truth hidden within the castle's stone-cold heart.
