A dreamlike, visually haunting gothic horror that blurs the line between supernatural threat and psychological unraveling through expressionistic imagery and mounting dread.

Allan Gray, a young man fascinated by the supernatural, goes to a small village where he feels a sinister force descending upon him. There, Allan meets an old man who asks him to protect his two daughters, for one of them has been bitten by a vampire.
