action
The young son of a priest, Toby McClift, loses his first great love, Kathy and his father, in a single night in a cemetery after an attack by a bestial wolf creature. Toby desperately tries to convince the police of the supernatural circumstances of the crime, but nobody believes him. After six years in an asylum for the mentally ill, Toby is released and starts a new life as a tutor in an old castle. The ancient lady of the house, Lady Wallace, is dying and is being looked after by the manically aggressive butler Mortimer. Toby is supposed to teach the supposedly light sick niece of the landlady Laura. When he met his student for the first time, he was struck by lightning. In front of him is Kathy, his childhood sweetheart believed to be lost. To his horror, the girl denies knowing him. In the desperate search for the girl's secret, Toby becomes entangled in a supernatural game of love, desire and jealousy. He becomes a plaything in a diabolical plot of supernatural creatures who have the power of werewolves , the magic of witches and yet have to seek love forever so that they can survive. When Toby finds out what really happened to Kathy, he has to risk more than his earthly life to wrest his great love from the darkness.

criticism
The reviewer of the Hamburger Abendblatt writes about The Forbidden Girl among other things: A film like from the textbook for horror stories [...] The fact that “The Forbidden Girl” does not really work as a horror story is partly due to its indecision between a certain realism and with lustful exaggeration, on the other hand due to the lack of color of the young actors.
