“Some things are better left buried.”

Horror

Evil lurks in the gloomy house at Markham Manor where a deranged Sir Edward is the chained prisoner of his brother Julian. When Sir Edward escapes, he embarks on a monstrous killing spree, determined to seek revenge on all those whom he feels have double-crossed him.

VIBE

A suffocatingly gothic atmosphere permeates this tale of familial betrayal and vengeful madness. Expect creeping dread, unsettling visuals, and a palpable sense of decay. It’s a slow descent into a haunted psyche.
