The premise

A man with an unknown disease travels to an island with his girlfriend where his relatives once lived, hoping to find a cure to his illness. Although his relatives were all thought to be dead, he finds them living underground.

Horror Vault's take

A desperately ill man travels with his girlfriend to a remote island where his aristocratic ancestors once settled, seeking answers about a mysterious condition that is slowly consuming him. What begins as a search for medical salvation quickly darkens as the island's grim history refuses to stay buried. Rutger Hauer lends grim authority to proceedings as the local doctor caught in the middle of a horrifying discovery. This Canadian cult oddity delivers gothic grotesquerie rooted in the darkest corners of family legacy.
