Storyline
Plot Summary |
An Egyptian caterer busies himself collecting body parts from young maidens to bring Ishtar, an ancient goddess of good and evil, back to life. When he has prepared enough parts for the ceremony, he hypnotizes a woman giving an engagement party for her daughter, at which he plans to perform the ancient rites of summons, using the daughter as his final sacrifice.
