Malpertuis
“If you expect to get out alive... you must be dreaming.”
DramaHorrorFantasy
Malpertuis is the name of an old, rambling mansion which is in reality a labyrinth where characters from Greek mythology are imprisoned by the bedridden Cassavius. He manages to keep them, as well as his nephew and niece, prisoners even after his death, through a binding testament. As Jan, the nephew, unravels the mystery, he discovers that he cannot escape the house because Malpertuis is far more significant than he was led to believe.
VIBE
A disorienting descent into a mythic labyrinth. It feels like a fever dream, where reality warps and ancient gods are trapped in a decaying mansion. Unsettling and profoundly strange, it lingers long after viewing.
