Synopsis: In order to stop a vampire from terrorizing the countryside, some locals decide to break into his coffin at night and steal his ashes. Complications ensue. This is easily the BEST film out of the quartet of star Germán Robles Nostradamus vampire classics. The film packs an amazing amount of atmosphere and action in its brief 79 minute running time. Very stylish photography in the Gothic Universal Pictures style. There are four chapters in the series The Curse of Nostradamus is the first of the Mexican horror serial about the escapades of a vampire nobleman (German Robles) who is a descendant of legendary doomsayer Nostradamus. With the help of a hunchbacked manservant, the nobleman schemes to set devious traps for his enemies, including one for the skeptical scholar who first begins to connect historical accounts of Nostradamus with vampire myth. The producers of the original serial pay a faithful homage to Tod Browning's Dracula. Curse was followed by The Blood of Nostradamus, Monster Demolisher and again the BEST of the series - this one - Genie of Darkness!
