The candle of his lust burnt brightest in the shadow of the grave!

Horror

The year is 1885, and necrophiliac Dr. Hitchcock likes to drug his wife for sexual funeral games. One day he accidentally administers an overdose and kills her. Several years later he remarries, with the intention of using the blood of his new bride to bring his first wife's rotting corpse back to life.

VIBE

A chillingly atmospheric descent into gothic madness. This film feels like a fever dream, steeped in dread and morbid fascination. Its unsettling tone and macabre visuals create a uniquely disturbing, yet strangely poetic, experience.
