The premise

Successful writer and scholar Jonathan Merrick falls under the spell of the irresistible, bewitchingly beautiful Ligeia. She's fighting a fatal illness and she will stop at nothing to defeat death, her one true enemy.

Horror Vault's take

When celebrated writer Jonathan Merrick becomes enthralled by the mesmerizing and mysterious Ligeia, he finds himself drawn into a world where beauty masks something far more dangerous. Ligeia harbors an all-consuming obsession with cheating death, and her will to survive transcends the boundaries of the natural world. Loosely inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's tale of the same name, the film weaves gothic dread with dark romance as Merrick struggles to distinguish love from something altogether more sinister.
