The greatest terror tale ever told!
When a man travels to a remote castle to investigate his sister’s mysterious death, he uncovers dark secrets tied to the brutal legacy of the Inquisition. Her husband, haunted by guilt and obsession, begins to unravel as the horrors of the past resurface with deadly force. This moody gothic horror, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, blends madness, suspense, and atmospheric terror in a tale of buried sins and inevitable doom.
