Storyline

In 1795, in England, the young woman Catherine moves to the house of her fiancé Charles Fengriffen in the country to get married with him. When she arrives, she feels interest in the portraits of the Fengriffen family, particularly in the one of Charle's grandfather Henry Fengriffen, which seems to have a sort of evil entity possessing it. While admiring Henry's face, a severed hand attacks Catherine through the picture on the wall. Later, she gets married with Charles, beginning her journey of mystery, eerie apparitions, secrets and deaths, and having her days filled with fear and the nights with horrors in a cursed family. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Enjoyable terror film of Amicus factory with sensational Peter Cushing
26 May 2006 | by See all my reviews

This eerie film is developed in an ancient and isolated castle.A just married couple arrive to home of their grandparents during wedding night.The fiancé Charles Fengriffen(Ian Ogilvy)and his fiancée(Stephanie Beacham) aren't aware about the curse by terrible events occurred at past time and mysterious deeds are actually happening .In 1795 Silas,a young man who worked in stables attempts avoid the violation of his young wife by the noble Fengriffen(Herbert Lom).During the taking off between the noble landowner and the flunky is severed the hand of Silas. Onetime dead the noble,the vengeful spirit returns the castle,the revenge will be with the successors of tyrant Fengriffin.The severed hand goes back to torment the young couple,they are caught up by ominous ghost and become inextricably involved in weird killings with several corpses .They will confront against the mysterious evil force and legacy of horror of the Frengriffen family.Then Peter Cushing shows up to investigate at whatever risk .

This Amicus production(Max Rosenberg and Milton Subotsky)is a good terror film with malevolent spectres and family curses and with amazing final surprise.The movie is plenty of grisly murders tension,terror,genuine screaming,horrible chills and a little bit of blood and gore.The picture packs a creepy atmosphere and strange color by the cinematographer Dennis Cop.The casting is frankly well,appear various awesome British actors,as always excellent Peter Cushing,Patrick McGee,Guy Rolfe and the habitual villain Herbert Lom. The tale is rightly directed by Roy War Baker who realized magnificent terror films(Quatermass and the pit). Motion picture will like to British horror enthusiastic.
