The premise
An aging, reclusive Southern belle plagued by a horrifying family secret descends into madness after the arrival of a lost relative.
Horror Vault's take
Deep in a crumbling Louisiana mansion, an eccentric recluse named Charlotte has spent decades haunted by a shocking crime from her past — one the townsfolk have never let her forget. When a long-absent relative arrives, old wounds are torn open and Charlotte's grip on reality begins to slip in deeply disturbing ways. This Grand Guignol melodrama wrings maximum tension from its decaying setting and a cast of masterfully unreliable characters. Every smile hides a motive, and no one surrounding Charlotte can be taken at face value.
