Rumores de possessão demoníaca em um convento religioso provocam uma investigação da igreja sobre os estranhos acontecimentos. Um padre descontente e seu neófito enfrentam a tentação, o derramamento de sangue e uma crise de fé.

This motion picture is a suspense/thriller based on the short story; The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe. This updated re-telling is written by award winning filmmaker George Adams and possesses the quintessential features of the Gothic: a large dreary house, strange macabre characters with doubled personalities and a mysterious sickness. A contrast, this standard formula has a plot that is bizarre, unexpected, and full of unforeseen disturbances. Part of the terror in this story is the vagueness of time and place and the haziness sets the tone for a plot that blurs the real and the eccentric.
