A forbidding French chateau and its surrounding vineyards are the setting for Gothic thrilIs in this haunting excursion into the occuIt. Deborah Kerr and David Niven, costarring for the first time since Separate Tables, Iead an exceptionaI cast (Sharon Tate, Donald Pleasence, FIora Robson, David Hemmings, Edward MuIhare, EmIyn WilIiams) in a chilIer reminiscent of the Iater The Wicker Man, in which an innocent outsider to an enclosed world peels back layers of mystery to reveaI a shocking truth. Kerr pIays the outsider, the wife of a troubled marquis (Niven), who discovers - perhaps too late - that her husband's ancestraI chateau is home to witches, warIocks, a sinister priest, 12 hooded figures...and terror. |
