This 1962 import is a semi-gothic haunted house movie that rates about average. Story is about a college girl who travels back to her home (castle) with her best friend and best friend's brother. When she arrives, she finds the staff has completely changed. Her brother tells her that their father died in a fire. The bother looks rather sinister and frequently plays moody songs on the piano.
We are introduced to a strange doctor and a beautiful, but odd housekeeper. We finally find out that the girl's father is not dead, just horribly mutilated from the fire. We are told the father is deranged and believes in the old family curse which says that the daughter must die before age 21.
The father escapes and then most of the rest of the movie throws suspicion onto all the other cast members as the daughter walks around in a trance. Pretty eerie throughout and in the end the daughter is buried alive. I won't spoil the ending, but you'll probably guess what's going on before the climax of the film.
