Forty years ago, Charlotte Hollis'd been witness to the dismemberment murder of her fiance and the suicide of the murderer, her own father. Now, plagued by the horrifying family secret, she descends into madness after the arrival of a lost relative.
So calculated and coldly carpentered is the tale of murder, mayhem and deceit that Mr. Aldrich stages in this mansion that it soon appears grossly contrived, purposely sadistic and brutally sickening.
