PlotIn a series of horror vignettes, the narrative begins with a dark fantasy tale of a young woman named Dajette, who possesses eyes on her breasts. Her bizarre condition leads to a sequence of eerie and unsettling events culminating in grisly outcomes. Transitioning to the next story, we encounter a stripper named Mystery Girl in Paris, whose depraved activities bring her into contact with demonic forces. As she delves deeper into the occult, her actions lead to a spiraling descent into madness and violence.
The final tale follows Drukija, an unhinged countess obsessed with preserving her youth through blood rituals. Set in medieval times, her gruesome practices of kidnapping and draining young women draw attention from those seeking justice. Through each disconnected yet equally macabre segment, the unsettling tone intensifies, depicting a world ridden with perverse and grotesque horrors that unsettle the boundaries between reality and the supernatural.

Verotika: strong visuals by Danzig but lacks sustained dread, with solid video quality but lossy audio.
