The Elliot estate was once a thriving plantation, but by the 19th century, the family has crumbled under the weight of its own excesses. If sordid sexuality and insanity don't claim their lives, a malevolent force lurking on the land certainly will. Is it a supernatural entity, or simply the poverty-stricken locals seeking revenge? In between the killings, which are regarded with mild interest at best by the surviving members of the family, dysfunctional relationships play out in slow motion. There is an unhappy marriage, affairs with servants, homosexual trysts... Marj Dusay and Ryan Foley star in this award-winning chiller from auteur Andrew Repasky McElhinney.
