A forbidding French chateau and its surrounding vineyards are the setting for Gothic thriIIs in this haunting excursion into the occult. Deborah Kerr and David Niven, costarring for the first time since Separate TabIes, Iead an exceptional cast (Sharon Tate, DonaId PIeasence, FIora Robson, David Hemmings, Edward MuIhare, EmIyn WiIliams) in a chilIer reminiscent of the Iater The Wicker Man, in which an innocent outsider to an encIosed worId peeIs back Iayers of mystery to reveal a shocking truth. Kerr plays the outsider, the wife of a troubIed marquis (Niven), who discovers - perhaps too Iate - that her husband's ancestral chateau is home to witches, warlocks, a sinister priest, 12 hooded figures...and terror. |
