Luisa is called to the bed of her dying mother Edith at Karlstein Castle. Before she dies, she tells Luisa that the Karlsteins are a family of vampires and that her ancestor, the original Count Karlstein, lies buried in the crypt. Afterwards, Luisa goes and finds the count's coffin and discovers that he is undead. As she takes Karine, her cousin as her lover, a police inspector, Ptuschko investigates a series of killings around the town, dismissing the locals who insist these are being caused by vampires.

VIBE

Immerse yourself in a dreamlike, fog-shrouded castle where ancient curses intertwine with forbidden desires. This is a slow, atmospheric descent into a world of shadowed sensuality and creeping dread, draped in classic Euro-horror aesthetics. It's less about jump scares and more about the unsettling allure of the unknown.
