After losing her mother at an early age and being raised at a boarding school, Christina is notified of her father's death and summoned to Monserrat Mansion for the reading of his will. Other members of her strange, accursed family have also assembled there and are found awaiting the imminent death of Christina's ailing stepmother, Hermione, whom she has never met. When Death finally visits the castle, in the person of an elegantly attired Queen Of Darkness, Christina is approached by the ghost of her father-the noose of his suicide permanently around his neck-who advises her to flee the castle and her cold-skinned, bloodthirsty relatives while she still can. But is is already too late? Has she already lost touch with reality? Learn the answers, if you dare, in this legendary cult classic from Jess Franco-uncut in America for the first time!
