Horror Vault's take

In 19th-century Southern France, a young woman named Teresa arrives at a remote girls' boarding school presided over by the iron-fisted Madame Fourneau — a woman whose rigid discipline masks something far more disturbing beneath the surface. The school's high walls keep the outside world out and its secrets firmly in, as Teresa begins to sense that the institution harbors a creeping, dangerous menace. Somewhere between the headmistress's obsessive grip on her son and the cruelties the older girls inflict on new arrivals, something truly sinister is taking shape. This Spanish Gothic chiller builds its dread slowly and deliberately, rewarding patient viewers with an atmosphere thick enough to cut.
