Horror Vault's take
Set against the brooding landscape of 18th-century Russia, this Gothic period horror follows a young nobleman dispatched by Empress Elizabeth to retrieve a reclusive monk harboring forbidden secrets. The monk has been living in isolation within a cursed mountain monastery, and the reasons for his exile run deeper than the imperial court suspects. When the two men finally meet, escaping the region proves far more dangerous than arriving — the darkness lurking in those peaks has no intention of letting them leave.
