“The criminal haunted by tortures of the mind”

DramaHorror

Thwarted by his despotic uncle from continuing his love affair, a young man's thoughts turn dark as he dwells on ways to deal with his uncle. Becoming convinced that murder is merely a natural part of life, he kills his uncle and hides the body. However, the man's conscience awakens; Paranoia sets in and nightmarish visions begin to haunt him.

VIBE

A chilling descent into a troubled mind. This early psychological horror film uses stark visuals and a creeping sense of dread to explore the torment of guilt and the unraveling of sanity. It's a haunting, introspective experience.
